Well, it looks like the rumors of a Surface retail expansion were somewhat correct. We reported on a rumor a week or two ago, that suggested that Microsoft was looking to expand their retail presence with their tablet, the Surface. The original rumor suggested that the Surface would expand over seas first and in countries where Microsoft didn’t have their own...
Despite the fact that Microsoft’s Surface tablet hasn’t exactly been a runaway success and that orders for the device have been cut in half from Asian suppliers, rumors are suggesting that Microsoft is moving forward with a continued roll out to more retailers around the globe. Initially, the roll out will take place in two waves, the first of which will...
Well I guess I know why no Microsoft PR rep decided to correct my ending statement to my recent post concerning modest Surface sales. You see, Ballmer spoke to a French news site and when questioned about sales of the new Surface tablet, Ballmer said sales have been modest. This apparently rocked the boat back in Washington and Microsoft PR quickly got involved and...
If you remember Microsoft’s “Smoked by Windows Phone” campaign from a few months ago, then you should be familiar with Ben the PC Guy. Ben issued challenges to owners of other smartphones to show them how fast and smooth Windows Phone. This time around Ben is using the Windows Phone 8X by HTC, in the video above (which features three videos, if...
Leave it to those crafty, blood sucking lawyers to find a problem with a piece of technology and then sue the company for it. Case in point, when Microsoft announced its Surface tablet would start with 32GB of internal storage, it seemed like a good deal for the $499 price point, but it wasn’t until after the tablet was released that reviews showed that 16GB...
If you’re a Skype user, you may want to read this post carefully. Skype has a security issue that allows “anyone,” not just a hacker, to steal your account. Here’s the issue, if someone knows your email address that you use for Skype, they can steal your account. All anyone needs to do, is download Skype, set up a new account and use your email...
So just how well is Microsoft’s Surface selling? Well, you’ve probably heard that online, the 32GB model ($499) has been sold out, but what we don’t know is just how many Microsoft even made for that product to be sold out. They could have made 1,000 and sold them all, but only thousand isn’t as impressive when you see the hard numbers. Ballmer...
Now that Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 have both made their grand debuts, carriers—at least in the US—are ushering out new devices like crazy. Today marks the Nokia Lumia 920′s release and next week, on November 13, Verizon Wireless—who was hesitant on Windows Phone 7 devices—will be releasing not one, but two new Windows Phone 8 devices… the Windows...
Early 2013, March to be specific, will be a sad day for those who’ve used Microsoft’s Messenger, the world’s most used messenger software. Next year, Microsoft will official “retire” its famed messaging service in favor of Skype, the company it bought for quite a few billion. For those of you who use Messenger, don’t fret, Skype...
