calls, messages and other notifications will display on the computer monitor, and will be able to interact with them; Cortana will require to install and will be available in a future release; also it works for Windows 10 Mobile
During the conference Build 2016 (its annual meeting for developers), Microsoft gave some details of what’s coming in Windows 10 (with a big update in June / July, called Anniversary update, and a big bet by robots) and with almost no news about Windows 10 Mobile, will not be priority for the company this year, said Terry Myerson (the man in charge of . Windows within Microsoft) to the Verge
Some time ago Microsoft is committed to extend its services to other platforms: enough to see more than 70 applications created for Android, and another goal for iOS. But now you seek to do something different: Android phones link (Mobile and Windows 10) with a PC with Windows 10
How.? Notifications that normally displays the phone can be viewed on the screen of the computer with Windows 10, and will be able to interact with them. All courtesy of Cortana, the digital assistant, which must be installed on the phone for this to work. In theory will come with Windows 10 update midyear, according to The Verge.
Of course, it requires that both the computer and the phone are connected to the Internet. It is not clear yet what degree of sophistication offered regarding interaction with notifications (if only they will be, if they can answer, etc.). We will have to wait for the company to provide more information. And that Cortana is officially in Spanish for Android (and for PC, which is only available in Spain and Mexico).
But there is something, ya? Clear: Pushbullet service offers something similar, with the advantage that is cross-platform (runs as a Windows application or browser extension). It has a free version and a paid (which enables full interaction with some notifications). Also AirDroid (free), which is designed for the complete management of your phone (Android) from a browser. Both seek to facilitate also the exchange of information between the two devices
Now the competition will have a tool that will be integrated into the operating system.; for Microsoft, also adds value to its own platform, and Cortana, where probably apply all the tools of artificial intelligence and text analytics promises for the coming months (to identify in the text of a notification arranging an appointment , the request for specific information, etc.). If he manages to interest users on the concept of viewing notifications on the PC monitor, you will spend more time interacting with Windows 10 and its products and services, which is ultimately what you are looking for the company.
What about Apple? The way iOS works, the iPhone version of Cortana will not be able to synchronize with Windows notifications. But iOS and OS X already offer synchronization of some notifications (and managing calls and text messages iPhone from Mac): those who want something more complete can try Notifyr (are two applications, one for iOS and one for OS . X), which promises to show all notifications carry the iPhone on the screen of the Mac
