Sony Ericsson Windows Phone prototype up for grabs on eBay

Sony Ericsson was reported to have a prototype Windows Phone device that never saw the light of day - but it looks like you can get your hands on one of them. An eBay user managed to get his/her hands on the phone and has put it up for auction, giving anybody who's willing to spend some money the opportunity to own the device. While not much is known about the phone, it is said to be running on a beta version of Windows Phone and will most probably never get any upgrades in the future.

Xbox 720 won't have a disc drive?

Xbox 720 won't have a disc drive?

While we know that there still is plenty of life left for the Xbox 360, rumors about its upcoming successor (tentatively named Xbox 720) are still sprouting all over the place. Apparently Microsoft recently held a secret developer meeting in London where it briefed game developers on what to expect from the Xbox 720. And it looks like one of the key points about the console that leaked from the meeting is that the next Xbox won't feature a disc drive anymore. The Xbox 720 is rumored to read games off a proprietary SD card format that will allow users to swap and store games.

The update brings the Google Play Store up to version 3.4.7 and doesn't seem to introduce any other new features.

Microsoft shows you how to get around Windows 8

The Windows 8 consumer preview was released last week but one thing that seemed to be missing with its release was some sort of manual to guide people through the operating system. After all, we know it is Windows so how difficult can it get right. Since Windows 8 was built with a touch interface in mind, there are a whole lot of differences when it comes to navigating using your keyboard and mouse. Fortunately Microsoft recognizes this and has published a comprehensive guide for all you folks out there.
If you've got questions about where the Start button went, what are all the new shortcuts are and how you use the app bar, you're in luck.
