    Microsoft Surface Desktop Range

    Hey, So, it's been 2 years since the Surface Studio 2 was released, and that was released 2 years after the Surface Studio 1 was released, so the rumour mill is starting to kick in with a new Surface Studio to be announced by the end of this year. What about though instead of just a Surface...

    Will Cortana bridge the app gap?

    So, let's be honest, Microsoft and UWP apps are never going to catch up with iOS and Android apps. But, does it still need to? If Apps are split into 3 general categories, you've got 'reference' apps (News, Sport, Wikipedia etc), Utilities (Shopping, Banking, Travel tickets etc.) and...

    Manually setting your location

    As my desktop PC (like a lot of I suspect other PC's) doesn't have built in GPS, it means that whenever Windows 10 tries to automatically determine where am I (for example, when I'm looking at the built in map client, or Cortana is finding something nearby) it actually thinks I'm around 70 miles...

    Surface 4?

    Does anyone has any idea on if/when MS might announce and release Surface 4? I know there's rumours of a Surface Pro 4 annoucement in Oct - does anyone think if they'll also announce Surface 4 at the same time like they used to (i.e - Surface/Pro and Surface/Pro 2 announcements) or if there...

    7"/8" tablet recommendations?

    Hi, I'm looking to replace my iPad Mini with a 7" or 8" Windows tablet. I'd also like the tablet to actually have 3g (preferably 4g) as well. What's the best tablet out there at the moment? Or is it worth waiting until Aug and see what Windows 10 tablets are released? Actually - has anyone...

    Wireless Charging on the Lumia 925

    Hi, So, I've bought the wireless charging back-plate and the charging pad for my Lumia 925. However, it doesn't seem to do anything? I've put the phone on the pad, the little light at the top of the pad comes on, but no matter how long I leave the phone, it's not charged up at all. Is there...

    New Lumia 925 yesterday - today it's dead

    Hey, so yesterday I got my new Nokia Lumia 925 phone. I upgraded it to the latest update from Nokia and followed the shops advice to let the battery run completely down first, then fully charge it. When it was fully charged, I think unplugged it. This morning I've woken up and the phone is...

    Zune Marketplace retiring

    Hey - so, Microsoft have said that the Zune Marketplace is 'retiring' this month and you'll no longer be able to purchase anything through it (although you can still use Zune on your PC to listen to music). Is that just the PC version of Zune - or does that mean that from this month I'll no...

    Sim card error with Lumia 800

    Hi, Over the last week or so I've started getting sim card errors with my phone. Before I spend 40 mins on hold to Orange, anyone know if this is likely to be an issue with the sim card itself (so getting a replacement from Orange should fix it) or is it likely to be a problem with the phone...

    Lumia 800 and Windows 8 (*NOT* Windows Phone 8)

    Hi, I was thinking of taking advantage of the MS deal to get the Windows 8 for the sale price before they bump the price back up to normal at the end of the month. Before I do that though, I wanted to check if there's any problems with Windows 8 syncing with the older Windows Phone 7 Lumia...

    Can't signin to Skydrive

    Hey, Anyone got any ideas on this problem I've got? My Nokia Lumia 800 died the other week (wouldn't switch on, wouldn't charge - wouldn't do anything). So, I took it back to the shop who sent it away to be repaired. Got it back the following week and the phone had been reset and all the...

    UK National Lottery Mobile website

    Hey, Just noticed that the UK National Lottery has launched a 'mobile' website so that people with smart phones can play games/buy tickets etc. on their phone. Presumably they had to do it via a mobile website instead of an app because of Apple's rules on them taking a share of any money made...
