Microsoft will reportedly merge its Windows Store and Windows Phone Store into a unified app store, something that has been anticipated for a while now. While details are sparse, the sources who provided the information say it was made in an announcement to Microsoft employees earlier today by Microsoft’s operating systems group’s head Terry Myserson.

In February, Intel announced plans for a Web TV service, something that would be akin to Hulu and Netflix, but that would also offer live TV broadcasts. The given timeline for the service was later in 2013, a time that is quickly nearing and has prompted the company to seek backers for the service. If […]
Ford CEO Alan Mulally has taken pole position among potential candidates for the Microsoft CEO job, sources claim, despite the exec’s ongoing denials that he has ambitions to replace Steve Ballmer. Mulally’s name was pushed by Microsoft’s board as a possibility, it was reported earlier this month, but Nokia’s Stephen Elop was believed to be […]
Google will add Glassware support to its Glass wearable with the XE10 update expected in October, developer sources claim, opening the door to local software rather than forcing coders to run their functionality in the cloud. The much-anticipated support for local apps has been clandestinely confirmed by multiple developers under NDA with Google about the […]
Nokia will reveal six new products, including smartphones, entry-level devices, and its first Windows tablet at an October 22 event, insiders claim, a broad refresh of its line as it tries to claw back attention to devices rather than the Microsoft acquisition. The Abu Dhabi launch will consist of “several” Lumia Windows Phones, sources tell […]
The HTC One Max has appeared in a smorgasbord of leaks, so much so that there’s not much about it that hasn’t been covered in some way or the other. In the latest leak, a tester rooted the handset and offered up a couple screenshots showing an updated camera user interface, in doing so confirming […]
Originally set for release in July, Plants vs. Zombies 2 arrived a few weeks later on August 14, being released only for iOS devices.

Blackberry‘s on-going story is anything but boring and uneventful as the company is revealed to be developing a new line of smartphones currently being called the Blackberry 10 C-series. This supposed mix between the company’s Z and Q series could very well be added to the company’s growing list of could have been, should have […]
There have been rumors that BlackBerry would introduce a touch-only parallel to the Q5, and we may have just glimpsed that smartphone in the wild. Both BBin and CrackBerry have photos of what’s reportedly the “Americano,” the first device in the low-end C-series. The handset appears to be a smaller, more rounded counterpart to the Z30. There’s nothing to support claims that the “Americano” will use the Q5’s Snapdragon 400 processor and 5-megapixel camera, but there is a Verizon logo hinting at the possibility of a US launch. We also haven’t heard of a release date for the phone, assuming it’s released at all. We won’t be surprised if it launches relatively soon, however; when BlackBerry is discounting the Z10, there may be a hole in the lineup before long.
