The two platforms have been integrated so that invites claimed into a OnePlus account will be used to purchase the device on Amazon.in.

To make the launch exciting, Amazon.in and OnePlus together released a promo video starring the Amazon India’s country manager and the CEO of the Chinese company.

Microsoft is working hard to get in top with their Windows Phone OS which sees some growth over the past couple of months. Even though Microsoft owns popular Windows OS or Xbox or any other things, they are still need to get a name on the minds of people which they remember, use it everywhere and every time. This is the part which is to be played by what is called, a 'Smart Watch'!
Microsoft is still lacking a perfect smart watch. Recently, they released their smart band called 'Microsoft Band'. Microsoft still need to get a good market with a great smart watch which in terms of satisfies the users by making them fell that they are using a smartphone in a smart watch.
Microsoft has all gone 'Metro' now. Since they have introduced the Windows 8 or Surface tablets, Microsoft is all gone flat and metro design. So, here is a Windows Watch concept design which has imagined by Deani Hansen from Denmark has shown below.
" This is more of an UI concept rather than a device concept and it feels very user-friendly. We’ve got transparent tiles, small little squares that stand for apps and services, including Nokia HERE and Skype. Cortana is included as well, plus some camera shortcuts, probably triggering cameras on Lumia devices, with the watch as remote. I noticed that apps are crazy simple in design, going as far as to show them with mere white highlights.
Even the crazy iOS 7 would be jealous of this approach. There’s a Health feature here, multitasking with square thumbnails for apps and a very pretty phone calling area, with an enlarged view of the caller’s avatar. You can also text a reply when someone is calling. Now just imagine a smartwatch that features the same design as the Surface tablets, but in a minimal version. "
Actually, this squared smart watch render is pretty good with Windows OS on board.
By the release of Windows 10 to all users (for PC users as well as Windows Phone 8.1 users), there is a possibility of a smart watch to be released by Microsoft. What we can do is to wait.
OnePlus One is launching in India pretty soon. They are teasing their entry as OnePlus is making the entry so grand. It is the most awaited device that we all call it "The Flagship Killer"!
To make the launch even interesting, OnePlus has started a campaign in their forums and the first 100 will get their first India specific invites for the phone.
" To show our appreciation to our friends in India, this contest will award 100 winners with the first India-specific invites for the OnePlus One. Enter to win by creating a “Never Settle statement.” Your statement can be anything that begins with #NeverSettle, such as “#NeverSettle for less than the best.” or “#NeverSettle for boring.” Post a picture of yourself holding your statement to enter the contest. "
Amazon India is also teasing the device as it will be an Amazon Exclusive. Since more of the E-Commerce websites in India is following the 'Exclusive Launch - Only available on.....' strategy, OnePlus One will only be available in India through Amazon. Xiaomi, Micromax, Xolo and couple of other smartphone companies are now owing the flagship competition in India. Now, there is a new contender for them with more features and less cost.
