Apple may have made its thoughts on the stylus clearer than ever at its iPhone OS 4 event, but it looks like Microsoft Research is intent on redefining what’s possible with a little pen-based input and, if this recently-revealed video is any indication, we’re not about to stop them. Dubbed Manual Deskterity, the project is currently based [...]
The link’s dead now, but there’s no mistaking the appearance of a Zune HD 64 on the official Zune website. Hey Microsoft, got something you want to tell us? A 64GB Zune HD, perhaps, doubling the capacity of your previous top-ender? How about global availability? Click the source link to see for yourselves… go ‘head, [...]
Microsoft is having a good old time at MIX10, showing off all sorts of new things. New things like… Internet Explorer 9, which has just been previewed at the developer event, and here’s what we’ve gleaned about it so far. First off, as expected it will support HTML5 video, boast a new Microsoft JavaScript engine [...]
Looking to upgrade that built-in or non-existent webcam in your laptop or LCD monitor? Then Microsoft hopes you’ll consider one of its three new LifeCams, which each not only boast a 720p resolution, but the company’s new TrueColor technology that promises to provide “superior color and brightness in even the worst lighting conditions.” Apart from [...]
The biggest chunk of eye candy we’ve seen out of Microsoft’s MIX10 event so far today has been the unveiling of the significantly-retooled Windows Phone Marketplace that’ll debut in Windows Phone 7 Series — and needless to say, it’s a looker.

Microsoft is keen on unveiling the meat of its developer story around Windows Phone 7 Series at MIX10 in less than two weeks, but with GDC coming up next week, they’re figuring that now is a good time to start dropping hints — they’ll want to be capturing the collective imagination of the gaming industry, [...]
There’s a lot of rumbling in Project Pink land today, as Microsoft is seemingly nearing that magical time where its much-leaked Sidekick followup can finally see the light of day. First off, we’re hearing from a tipster that the phones (we’ve seen ‘Turtle’ and ‘Pure’ so far) will be exclusive to Verizon, at least at [...]
Dear Microsoft, We’ve had it up to here with these shenanigans. You’re jerking us around, and we’re sick of it. We get it, you Editorial have a very particular concept of what sort of phones you want running your new Windows Phone 7 Series OS. Not only do we get it, but we’re kind of [...]
