Windows Phone 8

If you're a Windows Phone 8 user, then there's definitely a good news for you. Lately, Microsoft has announced that all its Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices will be upgraded to Windows 10.

For long, Microsoft has offered a number of games such as Solitaire, Minesweeper and Mahjong on Windows PCs. The company has now announced that Windows Phone 8 users can enjoy the same games on their handsets, for free.

Microsoft has revealed an impressive new app which lets you control your Microsoft Office 2013 and Office 365 files and documents wirelessly. In essence, the app terms your Windows Phone 8 handset into a remote which you can then use to give presentations, open Word files and do other Office stuff on your PC.

Windows Phone users have been waiting for an update that Microsoft has been readying for a while now. The company is calling it 'General Distribution Release 3' but just ahead of its formal release, screenshots posted on the web divulge the features that the update offers.

The upcoming Windows Phone 8 update is arriving in a few days. The company has published the details of the update, divulging the changes that it will bring to Windows Phone devices. However, from the looks of the details, the update wouldn't include any major fixes.

Microsoft's Windows Phone platform has emerged as a significant player in the mobile arena, but it is still lagging far behind the likes of iOS and Android. To bridge that gap, the company has been trying hard to appease the developer community and has paid as much as $100,000 to entice certain developers.

Windows Phone 8 is yet to gain a sizable market penetration. Microsoft is heavily relying on Nokia to spread it out, but that’s not helping. Taiwanese brand Acer also feels the same. And, the company admitted this is the fact that is delaying its entry in the Windows Phone 8 market.

The Nokia Lumia 928 is coming to a U.S. carrier. The flagship device will come in white and black, and will be available at Verizon from May 16th for $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year contract.

Skype has released an update for the Windows Phone 8, version 2.5. In this new version, message notifications for Messenger buddies are now set to on by default. And the issue of Message notifications having contact names separated by 20% space has also been solved.

Viber App update for Windows Phone 8 adds free VoIP calling with HD audio. Viber previously added this service to Android and iOS platforms.
