Advertisements What we’re looking at is possibly the Microsoft Lumia 1330, the rumoured successor of the 1320. This is just the back cover. Note the Zeiss and Microsoft branding. Â Does it really need both the Windows and Microsoft logo next to each other? I’m sure one or the other would do. Especially if you’ve already […]
A couple of related stories based on the last one where Tom Warren discussed Android apps on WP still being in the works. First off, reader Ben A linked shared an article from ZDNet where Mary Jo Foley indicated that Microsoft could help close the app gap in a different way. Plan A: Universal […]
Tom Warren was discussing the possibility of Android apps on WindowsPhone yesterday. The App gap is partly the reason why Tom Warren left WindowsPhone in the first place. Though, for those actually concerned with apps, Tom thinks that iOS is the better platform. The implementation has always been a concern for some who fear the […]

Just say, “Hey Cortana” and you can […]
Nokia’s music services evolved into the relatively popular MixRadio. But as part of Microsoft, it may have had some clashes with XboxMusic. There’s been discussions since August that MixRadio will be spun off as an independent entity to let it continue as a service. Today, we hear that LINE has purchased MixRadio from Microsoft. Â LINE […]
As shared by the reddit folks, glance has been updated and glance background is back. I think this was something first popularised on the Nokia N8. This means you can select a picture and have glance change it to something that can always be displayed when the screen is on standby. These pictures are by […]
We were asked by the team behind Perfect Shift to share some news about their new app. Here’s the press release below. It looks like a stunning game (and only 140MB? Is there more do download after?). It’s free and it seems to be a 5 star hit after 500 reviews at the store. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/store/app/perfect-shift/a6e30499-a0c9-4183-ac5a-de377088e8ba?& […]
