In Windows 7, working with cameras, cell phones, and other devices is easier than with prior versions of Windows, thanks to two new features: Device Stage and the Devices and Printers folder.

Device Stage

Device Stage provides a single place to check on and manage cell phones, printers, digital cameras, and other compatible devices.

Manufacturers can customize Device Stage to show relevant status (like the number of shots on your camera) and menu options (like picking a ringtone). Device Stage is usually tailored to your device—down to a photo of your exact model, so you can find what you’re looking for at a glance.

Devices and Printers

The Devices and Printers folder is a single location where you can access and interact with all your devices. When Windows 7 detects a device it automatically downloads and installs any required drivers. (Talk about easy set up!) After your device is installed, it will appear in the Devices and Printers folder.
