Wish the world would start embracing 8:5 screens!

A 10in 2560×1600 Windows RT tablet is my dream…

Isn’t that why HP ditched the entire webOS software and hardware, and burnt a billion dollars on the Palm acquisition over night – becuase it wasn’t up to scratch?!

You bought a refurbished discontinued product for below cost price off eBay and HP still had the decency to replace it with a brand new one, yet you want them to die in a fire… Little harsh, no?

You mean they didn’t use No Win, No Fee laywers??

It’s hard to appreciate because tech people are fast movers and the inital aquisition announcement was made seemingly ages ago… but Microsoft has barely owned Skype for any meaningful amount of time. They couldn’t touch it till all the regulators cleared the aquisition, and then coding doesn’t just happen over night. There’s no visible mention of Microsoft on the Skype website or products even!

Kinda like how Google has only just finalised the acquisition of Motorola… yet it seems like they’ve owned them for months now.

By years end Microsoft will have had enough time to get Skype running smoothly on WP and Xbox. This time next year the Skype backend will be running on Windows Servers and integrated with Lync and Messenger. By then the best platform for Skype will be Windows.

Not sure why no one has done a deal with the coffee houses yet!

Want to launch Nook in the UK – put a concession in every Starbucks or Costa. They are everywhere, massive footfall, people read in them.

Just like the free iTunes song voucher you get every week, give away a free ebook once a week. Start locking people into your platform! Give away some free coffees with every eReader purchase. Promotions like that…

Shame it’s not Special Reserve though…

I would LOVE a red Lumia 900!
