    Alleged Sony A3500 Photos And Specs Leaked

    Alleged Sony A3500 Photos And Specs LeakedPhotographers if you’re in the market for a new camera, perhaps you might be interested in checking out the Sony A3500, a camera which will apparently be replacing the Sony A3000. We find that a little odd since the A3000 is less than a year old, but maybe Sony has their own reasons.

    The folks at Sony Alpha Rumors have managed to get their hands on several photos of the upcoming handset along with its specifications. Now we should note that none of this is official yet so for all we know they could be changed when the camera has been officially launched. (more…)

    Microsoft “Strongly” Encouraging OEMs To Bundle OneNote With Windows 8.1

    Microsoft Strongly Encouraging OEMs To Bundle OneNote With Windows 8.1Many years ago, there were some who were outraged that Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with every copy of Windows where they were accused of monopolizing the browser market, which at that time consisted of fewer players than there are today. Could Microsoft soon be landing themselves into another similar predicament with Windows 8.1?

    According to a leaked memo, it seems that Microsoft has recently begun to share the Windows 8.1 Update 1 with OEMs to allow them to install it onto their products before it is shipped to consumers, thus saving the user’s time from downloading the update themselves. However according to the leaked memo, it seems that Microsoft is also “strongly” encouraging OEMs to bundle the company’s OneNote app together with the update. (more…)

    Huawei CMO Thinks It’s Hard To Differentiate Windows Phone Brands

    Huawei CMO Thinks Its Hard To Differentiate Windows Phone BrandsIf there is one feature of Windows Phone that is both a pro and a con, it would be the fact that the user interface looks too similar. On one hand it creates a sense of uniformity which is great because that means that people will be able to identify it as Windows Phone. On the other hand by making all phones look the same, there is less personalization involved.

    This is versus Android handsets where user interfaces from different OEMs are wildly different from one another, not to mention the extensive customization options offered by the Android platform allow users to create a truly unique looking handset. That being said, it seems this uniformity is one of the features of Windows Phone that Huawei does not seem to like. (more…)

    Nokia X Production Reportedly Moved From India To China

    Nokia X Production Reportedly Moved From India To ChinaMost countries have more or less given their blessing for the Microsoft/Nokia deal to proceed, but as it stands, India is one of the countries that is still standing in the way of the deal being approved. The reason is apparently due to tax that the Indian government claims Nokia owes them.

    The deal could proceed, but only if Nokia is willing to fork out a huge amount of money to pay back the taxes they alleged owe the government, but until they do, the Chennai-based factory owned by Nokia will be held by the Indian government. (more…)
