Bad news for those who are waiting for Surface Mini tablet. Lately, Microsoft has confirmed in its earnings report for Q4 of the 2014 financial year that it has officially cancelled plans to release Surface Mini tablet.

At the beginning of this year, we reported that Microsoft may release Windows 9 in April 2015. But that didn't happen. And lately, sources familiar with Microsoft's plans have mentioned that instead of Windows 9, Windows 9 Preview may arrive later this year.

After buying the smartphone division of Nokia, Microsoft hinted that it would make Android smartphones. Last year, Microsoft launched Nokia X, and this year, the company has introduced Nokia X2, the successor of Nokia X smartphone. The most buzzing news is that Microsoft has made Opera the default browser for all Nokia X devices.
