Android Microsoft Apps

A surprise on behalf of the Microsoft Corporation came in December 2008, when they have released an application for iPhones, called Seadragon Mobile. A month later they have surprised again with the release of the Tag app, available for both iPhones and Android devices. Therefore Tag was the first app launched for the Android mobile platform. This was a notable action, as Google Android is one of the main competitors of the Microsoft mobile.

Tag was created by Microsoft with the scope to offer a technology for the Android mobiles to be used as barcode reader. Users just need to point the photo camera at a specific tag, to take a picture and the app will interpret it. But Microsoft did not stop at this point, and they have continued to develop apps for Android devices. Here are some apps created by Microsoft Corporation and currently available for free on Google PLAY Store.

Lync 2010

An important aspect to know is that this app will work only with a Lync Server, or a Lync Online/Office 365 account. This app was created to extend the power of the Android devices, in aspects related to instant messaging, calling features, audio conferencing, offering at the same time an easy to use interface. Other features are allowing users to view the availability of the colleagues in real time, to initiate an instant message, an email or a phone call, to connect to the Lync conference calls, to forward or to ring simultaneously calls to the Enterprise Voice number.
