The built-in Mail and Calendar apps have the same capabilities as on the desktop, offering connections
to standard account types. Likewise, the Photos and Groove Music apps integrate neatly with
OneDrive to offer access to pictures and music stored in the cloud.

Continuum
A 5-inch mobile screen is handy for portability, but that small screen is far from optimal for many productivity
tasks, such as writing a lengthy document or building a spreadsheet.
For those tasks, Windows 10 Mobile offers a feature called Continuum. Connecting the phone to a
TV or external monitor requires new hardware specifically built for Windows 10 Mobile; the feature is
not available on older devices that have been upgraded from Windows Phone 8.1. To make the connection,
you need specialized hardware:
■■
A wired dock, such as the Microsoft Display Dock (shown in Figure 14-8), connects to the
external monitor using an HDMI or DVI cable or an active DisplayPort to DVI cable. (Passive
DisplayPort cables will not work, and VGA cables won’t work with video content.)
FIGURE 14-8 The Continuum feature requires a device built specifically for Windows 10 Mobile, along with
hardware such as the Microsoft Display Dock shown here.
