More evidence surfaces for Windows Phone 8 running on Windows 8’s NT kernel
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
Windows Phone’s next big update is truly going to be huge - it will bring the operating system to version 8 and along with that will introduce change to the very core of the mobile platform. More evidence has surfaced cementing the notion that Windows Phone 8 will run on the NT kernel, the same kernel Microsoft uses in Windows 8. This will mean that Windows CE is finally become history after more than 15 years of service.
In layman's terms, a kernel is the main element of an operating system bridging communication between apps and the actual hardware on a device. Windows Phone is built to be kernel-neutral, so the change won't affect existing application.

White Galaxy Nexus 16GB coming to Verizon on April 5th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus CDMA
We’ve been seeing photos of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus all decked out in white, but so far no word on a U.S. release date. According to a device launch schedule given to Droid-Life, it appears that the 16GB version of the Galaxy Nexus will be arriving at Verizon on April 5th in both the white and gray variety.
While many of you will be disappointed that there won’t be a white 32GB Galaxy Nexus, it may be good news for those hoping to score a Galaxy Nexus at a more equitable rate – it seems likely that the launch of the versions with less internal memory will be concurrent with a reduction in price. At that point we’d expect the Galaxy Nexus to be $199 on contract, and likely less from other re...

Android browser becomes most popular mobile web browser besides the one on iOS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
The built-in Android web browser has become the most popular mobile web browser, according to StatCounter. Android’s browser overcame Research in Motion’s BlackBerry browser in March 2011 to capture fourth place. Since then, the browser has grown at a rapid rate, passing Nokia, Apple and Opera’s mobile web browsers. In February 2012, Android had a 22.67% market share, beating out Opera’s 21.7% share for the first time ever. Apple’s iPhone browser continues to make gains with a share of 21.06%, while Nokia and BlackBerry continue to fall with an 11.24% and 6.53% market share. StatCounter does, however, account for the iPhone and iPod touch browsers separately, and combined they propel Apple’s...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY S Advance
Samsung Galaxy S Advance, you know that Sammy smartphone that sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, has been spotted at the FCC, where the government-employed engineers got to play with it before it’s potentially introduced to the U.S. market. We say “potentially,” since the fact that some device gets FCC’s seal of approval doesn’t necessarily mean it will be introduced by an U.S. carrier.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket: The cheapest Galaxy yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Pocket
Samsung has just announced yet another Galaxy device, the Galaxy Pocket. It’s the exact opposite of the massive 5.3 inch Galaxy Note. With the Pocket you’re looking at a 2.8 inch screen that pushes the now ancient resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, it has a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a single core 800 MHz processor, and of course comes with all the associated radios (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) you’d expect from most modern smartphones. We don’t have an exact price for this thing, but we do know it’s going to come to the UK “later this year”. If we had to take a guess, we’d say it’s going to cost no more than 150 EUR. In fact, we’d go so far as to say it’ll cost j...

ASUS ROG Maximus V Formula Unveiled
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsASUSMaximus V Formula
ASUS unveiled the Republic of Gamers Maximus V Formula motherboard, at CeBIT. Its latest bad boy is based on Intel Z77 chipset, and supports "Ivy Bridge" and "Sandy Bridge" Core processors in the LGA1155 package. The LGA1155 socket is powered by a 12-phase Digi+ VRM, which takes power from one 8-pin EPS, and one 4-pin ATX, apart from the 24-pin ATX, and an optional 4-pin Molex. The VRM area of this motherboard is cooled by a heatsink that is embedded with a liquid-cooling channel that lets you plug it to your water-cooling loop. With the Ivy Bridge platform motherboards, it's really just the CPU and CPU VRM that need liquid cooling for extreme overclocking, since the Z77 PCH is just a glorif...

New Nokia Lumia 800 firmware "triples" battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, started shipping almost four months ago. A small percentage of those who were the first to pick it up have had some issues with their battery. Either their device was burning through a full charge way too quickly, or worse yet they couldn’t even recharge their phone and had to replace it. In order to rectify the issue Nokia said they would ship two firmware updates, which they did, but some people still experienced issues. Today we’ve just learned that there’s a third firmware update being rolled out in Singapore, version 12070. The folks at WPCentral flashed it on their Lumia 800 and say that battery life “tripled”, but the good news doesn’t stop ...
