Advertisements Even with plenty of new features for WP 8.1 leaked, we still haven’t seen an actual video of it running on a device… until now. Here’s a first look at 8.1 on the Lumia 520, showing off the separate volume toggles, three columns of  medium tiles and more. Worryingly the phone seems quite slow, […]
Another announcement at the Microsoft press conference was the fact that the popular app (on other platforms) for Facebook messaging will soon be arriving on WP8.
