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...

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...

So, what devices do people predict Microsoft will be announced in 2017? I think, in order of likelihood: 1) Surface Pro 5 2) Surface 4 3) Surface Phone 4) SurfaceWatch (or Microsoft Band 3/Surfaceband) 5) Surfacebook 2 6) Surface Mini 4, 5 and 6 are extremely long shots - after the upgrade...

I was watching a video on Youtube and they were making a point on how the 'app' gap war is now being superseded by the 'assistant' wars. Eventually, if Microsoft, Google, Apple and Amazon have their way, you wouldn't need a banking app, or an Uber app, or a shopping app - instead you'll just...

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...

Just to add my feedback on here. I'm coming towards the end of my 2 year contract on my 925 and it's been my main (and only) phone - I don't even have a landline phone. Once I've had to send it back to (Nokia)Microsoft because the headphone socket just stopped working - I checked and there was...

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...

Just noticed this is available now from Tesco in the UK Buy Connect, 8? Tablet, 32GB, WiFi, with Windows 10 ? Black from our Other Windows Tablets range - Tesco Is that the first pre-installed Windows 10 tablet?

Hi, Just wondering if I should be worried yet - checking windows update and looking at the installed update log I've twice now already today had the message that Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - Failed. I'm upgrading from Windows 8.1 Pro. Should I just leave it and trust Microsoft to get this...

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...

Hmm - ok well I've turned it off and it's now working. I ended up, more out of 'lets try everything and see what happens' than from any scientific reasoning, turning off battery saving and put it on the pad - no change. I then actually powered it off and left it on the pad. After about 30...

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...

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...

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...

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...
