Tiles staying in Windows 9 Threshold Modern UI 2.0 – Interactive live tiles?

| August 25, 2014 | 3 Replies

Advertisements According to the folks of WinBeta, they’ve got some inside info on what Windows 9 Threshold. Where does this info come from? Not quite sure.

The stars are aligning and Reddit appears to be discussing another post about how WP could make it big. http://www.neowin.net/news/is-windows-phone-about-to-go-big Vlad Dudau makes an interesting comparison with Android of which WP in WP8.1 is making similar moves just before it became huge. WP8.1 apparently is no longer in the catchup stage feature wise, similar to FroYo.

Here’s the latest iteration of the OLED “The other Half” back covers for Jolla Phone. This is the one with an OLED panel at the back. What’s that at the right though – LED notification? That for me would be useful (like on the Nokia N900) The panel shows battery life, time, missed call and […]

Weekend Watch: Samsung Galaxy S5 challenges Nokia Lumia 930 and HTC One to Ice Bucket Challenge – Response video

You may have seen this video from Samsung where the Galaxy S5 participates in the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS. Well someone responded on behalf of both parties.  Although not technically waterproof/resistant, they handled things well. Well, they should have. Apparently the 930’s headphone jack got a bit exposed and the phone had to go […]

Now that the mobile division is now Microsoft, it’s […]

Weekend Watch: 50 or so Cortana (USA) actions

This video from Phone Buff shows the 50 or so actions that the US Cortana can do. There are regional variants (such as the UK one sometimes not being up to par – though her singing voice is quite good :P) so bear that in mind when you see Cortana. She’s improving everyday and has […]

When hardware is pretty much identical, what are the OSes really like? Whilst Michael Fisher likes the new changes to WP, he finds it still a bit rougher than Android in ways.
