Microsofts next flagship Windows Phone will include Kinect-like 3D Touch controls
2014-06-10 20:37:23| Extremetech
Microsoft (Nokia) is working on a successor to the Lumia 1020, codenamed McLaren, that will pair a massive PureView camera on the back of the smartphone with a bunch of other sensors to provide a new range of interactive gesture controls -- including Kinect-like finger movements above the screen, but also new 'gestures' like automatically enabling speakerphone if you place your phone on the table, or muting a call if you place it against your chest. The phone is destined to launch in November in the US, and it probably won't be a carrier exclusive.

Members of Reddit peppered Microsoft's Surface Team about its newly announced Surface Pro 3 tablet, including complaints about having to pay for the keyboard/cover separately. The price of the tablet starts at $799, but that's without a $130 keyboard, and questioners seemed ticked off about that since Microsoft advertising depicts the device as a laptop replacement which pretty much requires the keyboard.

Surface: The Embodiment of Microsoft's Vision
2014-05-26 16:34:42| TechNewsWorld
The Surface largely was the brainchild of Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's last CEO, and it resulted from a similar thought process that created Zune.

In both cases, the conclusion that ultimately should have been drawn was that OEMs alone weren't at fault.
