A San Francisco-based startup called Sidecar is looking to make your phone calls a little smarter.

The company on Tuesday launched the Sidecar app for iPhone and Android smartphones that lets users make free VoIP calls, as well as share live videos, photos, contact information, and location data. What makes Sidecar different from other apps is that it lets you share data while you talk on the phone. So, you don’t have to end your phone call, or fire up another app to share photos or location data.

The research firm said it expected Microsoft’s market share to rise gradually, helped by enterprise purchases, but to reach just 11.8 percent in 2016 as it lacks consumer appeal.

“Many vendors will wait for Windows 8 to be ready and will try to enter the market with a dual-platform approach, hoping that the Microsoft brand could help them in both the business and consumer markets,” Milanesi said.

In addition to traditional PC makers, Nokia, the world’s largest cellphone maker by volume, is set to unveil its first tablet using Windows 8 software later this year.
