The public beta is done. it’s now rolling out to the masses. Come on and get your IE on and pin things where you want them. I did love yelling “Xbox Quickplay” and have to get used to “Xbox Recent” but I can do it. Here’s the important part of the official release: In this … Read more
Let’s agree on one thing right now – whatever the price of the Surface is there will be an uproar. You agree with me, right? OK let’s break it down, working off the the WinRT 32gb wifi version. It’s a 10” ARM based tablet and what do those cost? Let’s see, the iPad starts at … Read more
What in the hell? The fine print during the Surface commercial states “colors sold separately”. Now of course, the question is if that means the Surface comes with a black cover or it that means all overs are extra. The official spec sheet includes the Touch Cover and Touch Type for both the RT and … Read more
I’ve been admittedly harsh on Microsoft’s rollout plans for Windows Phones but this month is a trifecta – Windows 8, Surface and Windows Phone all coming out. Putting WP aside, just watch the new Windows 8 official ad: There’s a lot of touch. A lot of action. A lot of energy. It gets you excited … Read more
The official Microsoft Surface Twitter account was set up a few months ago but hadn’t been used at all – until today. The first Tweet point to the Surface teaser video and the other a link to download the music from the video. Surface’s Facebook page went live as well with two similar posts.

But now another Sony division, Sony Music Entertainment, has dropped its first title into the Windows Phone market. It’s Slayer Pinball Rocks . The iPhone version has 850+ ratings and 4 stars so this is a solid … Read more
Let’s just deal with reality. Websites continually make speculative posts to get you to click on them, and it works. I mean, think of how many posts you’ve read about the iPad mini or the iTV in the last few months. All based on pure speculation or DigiTime’s sources. But there’s a simple rule to … Read more
There’s a new way to peruse apps in the Windows Phone online marketplace – by Best Rated. It was being rolled out throughout the day and was on and off all day, but I see it as ‘on’ now. I like the refinement. So the categories are now: featured, Xbox (for games), Top free, New+Rising, … Read more
I’ll be getting in line anyway on the 26th but this is good business. If it’s early next year we may be talking about the Pro.
I’m not prepared to blame the OEMs. As someone who is a Microsoft whore, sometimes a mirror is needed. The markets have clearly shifted and there’s a lot of focus and attention on tablets in the 7” size (give or take). There’s the Fire, Nexus, and iPad Mini.
