Advertisements A look at what ‘windows 9’ will look like. No major change, just refinement. This one is the desktop version but with some tile integration. Tiles get added to your start screen which can be seen in desktop view and not its own transported fullscreen window when in “All Apps” View. Above is the […]

Flipboard for WP in store, but not yet downloadable

| September 14, 2014 | Reply

The Flipboard peeps seem to have been quietly working on their app, all the way to version 2.3 in store. It’s not yet downloadable but may be soon. Flipboard is your ‘personal magazine’. It’s a news aggregator basically that transforms the stories you’re interested in. You can add by topics or by RSS URL. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/flipboard/e5723a43-42c8-4e25-b322-115f07bd44f1 […]

4K storage: SanDisk announces 512 GB SD Card – Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-1

| September 12, 2014 | 6 Replies

What a hefty memory card! Sandisk have announced their 512GB SD Card! I think it was two years ago that the biggest SD card capacity maxed out at 256GB. Phone capacities (i.e. MicroSD) are a little bit behind. 128GB is currently growing in popularity. It’s amazing to consider how much memory storage and consumption grow […]

Concept: Microsoft Sporty Smartwatch

| September 11, 2014 | 3 Replies

Resembling a bit of the gear-fit  (if only for the wide screen), this is PhoneDesigner’s Sporty Microsoft Smartwatch. Is Microsoft going to be awkwardly late to the point of obsoletion or fashionably late and catch everyones eye? What compelling thing can they do with smart watch that isn’t really being done? https://twitter.com/PhoneDesigner/status/509030504176566272/photo/1

Masters of transformation, this was just one of the things they must have dabbled in. https://twitter.com/vpkivimaki/status/510150813315260417/photo/1 via @pureviewclub

Microsoft’s 400 Million Dollar Surface product placement – Announcer still calls them iPads

| September 11, 2014 | Reply

It could simply be one of those cases where less techy minded people call non-Apple devices by their apple equivalent (e.g. MP3 players all being iPods, smartphones as iPhones, and so other tablets as iPads). Microsoft is reported to have paid $400 million to become the official NFL tablet. Whilst you can see devices, it […]
