The Verge reports that Microsoft is preparing a new update for Windows Phone 8. The update is called GDR2, which stands for General Distribution Release 2.

Double-tap to wake will be part of a minor update that is delivered to existing devices running the GDR2 update. ”Double-tap to wake” was a feature that so many Nokia N9 users loved. It allowed the device...
HTC as seen a rapid decline in both market share and value over the past year. The previous tagline ‘Quietly Brilliant’ has been too quiet, and the company plans to kickstart its new marketing efforts by retiring the old tagline. HTC’s marketing chief told The Wall Street Journal that the company needs to start a bolder marketing campaign in order to fight both Apple and Samsung with the release of its new HTC One Android flagship. The HTC One is surely a great Android device, but does it pack enough to fight the new...
A couple live images of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini (GT-i9190) have surfaced. The images got first posted on Twitter by @ErmEchkiN, and shortly after that posted on SamMobile complete with a partial spec list. Much like what Samsung did with the Galaxy S III mini, also the Galaxy S 4 mini follows the same design language as its bigger model. The mini title is earned by being smaller and having mid-range specs. According to the leak, the Galaxy S 4 mini will sport a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a qHD resolution (256PPI), Android...
SamMobile recently leaked a list of devices that will get updated with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie bits. Last year’s top models will get updated, but what’s more of an interest is those that will not. If the list turns out to be true, then the original Galaxy Note as well as the Galaxy S II will not get updated. The user base of those two devices is massive. Still, both were announced back in late 2011, so they’ve roughly seen the promised 18 months of support. However, the Galaxy S III Mini and Galaxy Xcover 2 and Galaxy...
@evleaks just posted a render and rumored specs for the ZTE Grand X Quad. Spec-wise this doesn’t provide anything new. Specs for the ZTE Grand X Quad don’t promise much. Price will probably be among the only reason why someone would buy this smartphone/phablet.

An unnamed “inside source” at Apple claims that the company will introduce the next generation iPhone and iPad at a special event on June 29th, which is exactly 6 years after the original iPhone was announced. The tipster claims the event will be titled “Original Passion, New Ideas” to highlight that the “iPhone 5S” and “iPad 5″ will both be the first new products with no input from the company’s previous CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs. If this report turns out true, then the announcement...
One thing with Google that I don’t really like, is the fact that you can never trust that the company will continue to support its products in the future. The company has thrown out many useful products over the years, and this year they’ve closed products that I, and this site, rely on. The most important would be Google RSS Reader. It’s what organises all the 70 sites that I follow, and allow for me to read and sync them across multiple devices. That service will be dead by June 1, 2013. Now I, and so many other enthusiasts,...
