Advertisements The word on twitter prior to this official statement at Lumia Conversations was that Lumia on WP8 would get Windows 10. Over at Lumia Conversations, their FAQ bit isn’t exactly as straight forward as :   Does that mean that today’s Lumia devices can be upgraded to Windows 10?  http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2015/01/22/the-lumia-you-love-gets-even-better-with-windows-10/ We’re making it as […]

Dean Pattrick from MixRadio demoes MixRadio on the adidas smartwatch (miCoach). You can check out the 30 minute run (6.5 km/4 miles) Dean did just for this video. And there I was worried that he was short of breath from running to the grassy bit and back :p http://micoach.adidas.com/uk/Track/PublicWorkout/107dc653-0593-496c-b669-1082002b6177#HeartRate Via @MixRadio Advertisements

Microsoft’s HoloLens is so impressive, it’s rightfully been branded as either fake, simulated, vapourware and similar words of that ilk. All the visual stuff, it’s all real with no lag, everything reacting as if it were real. TheVerge says it was kinda incredible! They thought it was a really smart way to use this technology […]

Windows 10 for phones looks great! So many new welcome improvements. Until the consumer update is ready, there’ll still be improvements that Microsoft will be adding. What do you think Microsoft has left to add? Here’s one: Frequently mentioned is the possibility of split screen. Genuine split screen of all apps and not the appalling […]

Microsoft’s HoloLens is causing quite a stir. One of the best places to gauge how the reaction will be across a wider range of people is Reddit. Warning: profanity here and there.

I’ve been hesitant to even stray away from Windows 7 from my current ancient Acer gaming desktop (simply because any changes to this awful Acer hardware makes it die quicker) but I’m really intrigued about Windows 10 – perhaps it […]
