    Leaving Xbox,been here since day 1....

    Sony has an exclusive of sorts on its MLB The Show series. Not sure how far that extends but that series is made purely for PlayStation. Assume what it would need is Microsoft to draft in a developer and acquire a license from MLB. The issue with Baseball is that it's mainly a U.S. thing...

    Early thoughts on Kodi for Xbox One?

    Now Kodi is back where it truly belongs, on the Xbox One, what do you actually think of it so far? It's a ridiculously early alpha and there's lots still broken (I can't use the NextPVR plugin for example) but generally it's quite impressive. The interface is still really good for a larger...

    The Galaxy S9 has a launch date, will it be the phone you jump to?

    I mean, we all knew it was coming, but it's not official until its official. The Galaxy S8 was a big device for Windows fans and folks moving away from Windows phones for the first time. A year on we can expect yet another great phone from Samsung. But whether you're on a Windows phone right...

    Soooo, about that Razer Phone ...

    The Nextbit Robin was discontinued because Razer acquired the company. Sure it didn't sell in massive volumes but Razer wasn't going to keep selling it when it had its own phone plans. Your definition of flop and Razer's will be two different things. People are looking at this as they're here...

    Does iPhone X grab you?

    So, the worst kept secret is official and Apple just announced the iPhone X (pronounced 10 because of course.) Sure, that display is incredibly impressive, but is the rest of the phone really that revolutionary? Face ID looks a lot like Windows Hello doesn't it? How about that wireless...

    The best alternative maps apps for Windows 10 Mobile in a post HERE world

    We've stacked a few of our choices up on the homepage, but what about you guys. Now that HERE is going away, what will you be using for your mapping needs on Windows 10 Mobile? Does the built in Windows Maps app do it for you, or is there a third-party solution you think everyone should know...

    This guy hits the nail on the head with Windows 10 Mobile

    You expect him (or any of us) to review a device based on what it 'might be?' Come on. Is this your reaction to people who don't agree with you? You're just looking silly.

    This guy hits the nail on the head with Windows 10 Mobile

    This is ludicrous. Absolutely ludicrous. I know Michael Fisher personally, as do a number of the Mobile Nations team. He is not "unfair" he is not a sensationalist and he doesn't do a bad review to be "popular." I can't physically shake my head any more than I am right now. He gets paid to...

    No Review for the Lumia 550 by Windows Central

    Well you obviously don't understand. You can't review a phone without the phone to review. So I went and bought one so we do have one so we can write a review on it. What do we review without the phone? A render? Windows Central is still a small core team with a massive ecosystem of products...

    No Review for the Lumia 550 by Windows Central

    I fear you don't understand many factors that go into what we do and don't cover on Windows Central. Needless to say you couldn't be more wrong. I personally reviewed the last two mid-rangers, the 640 and 640 XL and I have now taken possession of a Lumia 550 and will be reviewing that as well...

    Ask the Windows Central team your New Xbox One Experience questions!

    Licensing is hard. I honestly don't know. And I'm not American so I don't even want to speculate on U.S. cable!

    Ask the Windows Central team your New Xbox One Experience questions!

    No. Expect that later on down the line. Microsoft has talked about it but it's not happening yet.

    Ask the Windows Central team your New Xbox One Experience questions!

    The New Xbox One Experience powered by Windows 10 is pushing out on November 12 to everyone, preview or no preview. It's a big change, not one that everyone will like and with change comes plenty of questions. Fortunately the Windows Central team has a number of its members already on the new...
