Microsoft unveiled yesterday the new version of it’s Hotmail email service, which the company has strived to provide users with the tasks of sharing photos, videos and other items, such as Office documents or allow them to update their social networks through the mailbox.
In this way, debuts the ability to upload photos, presentations or other files using Microsoft’s SkyDrive service, allowing to send links to to download up to 10GB instead of the physical files or access to photos and videos third parties such as Flickr, Hulu or YouTube without leaving the service. This will solve many problems related to the size that often make it difficult to share.
The new Hotmail is being optimized for mobile devices, so manufacturers like Nokia and RIM are already creating special applications for Microsoft’s service. The software maker will also add the option to allow users to send emails using an encrypted HTTPS connection.
Two features that are not part of the summer update, but are on the horizon, are the ability to have multiple email aliases on one account, and an option to update an email with a new name.
