Microsoft to launch social networking phone in US

By
SAN FRANCISCO, US: Software giant Microsoft is to launch its own mobile phones in the US later this year as it aims to challenge the growing smartphone dominance of its main rivals Apple and Google, the technology blog Gizmodo reported Friday.



The phones will be made available in July exclusively on Verizon, the largest cellphone carrier in the US, and will be aimed at heavy users of social networks, said the report, which featured what it said were leaked images from the phones' marketing campaign. 

The two phones are codenamed "Pink" and "Pure", and will be manufactured for the software giant by Sharp, the report said. 

The report came after Microsoft last month unveiled a new mobile operating system that was widely praised by technology pundits. 

Microsoft used to enjoy a leading position in the smartphone arena but has seen its position severely eroded by Apple's iPhone, by the Blackberry and by numerous devices running Google's Android operating system.

In the case of geo-targeting: Databases stores various ranges of IP addresses, and indicates where this ranges of IPs are in the world. A geo-targeting script scans the list to see in which country the current IP is located. Programmer can use this value to effect changes in presentation or logic.
