Designed to help an aggressive strategy which among other things the release of four tablets in the first quarter of next year.

Galaxy Tab Lite 3 & Galaxy Note 12.2 scheduled

Windows Phone 8.1 gets Siri-like assistant and Notification Center

Microsoft Hallelujah! If the information is correct that The Verge has published a few minutes ago, then Windows Phone could take a huge step forward. According to the colleagues will comply with Windows Phone 8.1 mainly two great things. First, the use of a sire-like language assistant and second, the implementation of a Notification Center.

Especially point 2 makes me happy, because always when using Windows Phone devices I've looked wistfully to Apple's iPhone or Android smartphones. As can be heard from internal Microsoft circles, Windows Phone 8.1 is already being tested on some devices "in the home". The full capabilities of Windows Phone 8.1 could be published next April at the Build Developer Conference.

As iOS or Android is the notification center will open at the bottom by a Swype from the console back. During a brief wipe from top to bottom to open a Quick Launch bar, with a long, wiping down the Notification Center will be visible.

Also "Cortana” to be introduced by Microsoft said voice assistant on Windows Phone 8.1. Similar to Google Now, Cortana aims to provide location-based memories and tips. Also interact with the voice of the new engine is possible. With these two features, the list of new features is of course not the end. As The Verge writes it will still be possible to adjust the volume for ringtones, notifications and audio Weider gifts individually. But we already know this from Android!

If these features should come with Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones with Microsoft's OS more interesting, much more interesting!

But once Apple Introduced a 64-bit processor, all the other phone-makers wanted one too. "Apple kicked everybody in the balls with this. It's being downplayed, but it set off panic in the industry.

Microsoft pulls free Windows Phone and Windows RT into consideration

While equipment manufacturers the mobile operating system Android can be used completely license-free and therefore also free of charge, you have to use the operating system of Microsoft , a comparatively high license fees are paid to date. Now Microsoft thinks about both and Windows Phone as Windows RT to ask the manufacturers also available for free. The goal is clear: Microsoft wants to curb the dominance of Android in the mobile market and the Google replace production as quickly as possible from the first place.

Windows Phone and Windows RT in the future for free?
Chief Terry Myerson What OS is said to have announced in a company-internal meeting, the U.S. company plans to own Windows Phone operating systems and Windows RT manufacturers free and license-free to provide. Once again it is clear that Microsoft is planning big. So far, the license fees for the use of the operating systems account for a major part of the revenue.

With the purchase of Nokia's mobile industry, in which there is currently unimagined problems, would lose a large part of those revenues. Finally, the devices form Nokia about 80 percent of the mobile windows devices.

Nevertheless, this move would have some extensive benefits. It would encourage other manufacturers to use the Microsoft operating systems. Accordingly, the revenue for Microsoft Apps would rise. In the past, the group experimented several times with advertising within Microsoft apps.

Windows Phone also solves Android from?
The goal behind this development is obvious. Microsoft wants Android overthrow the throne and is therefore considering in many directions. According to a forecast by the U.S. business magazine Forbes Microsoft is the operating system of Apple overtake already within the next three years . Whether one may make it with this tactic in the direction Android, remains to be seen.

LG G2 mini: Will 4.7-inch Smartphone unveiled in January?

Much like HTC and Samsung apparently also the Korean manufacturer is LG follow the trend to bring to the market from the current flagship of a mini version. With the designation of the actual flagship and the addition of "Mini" could provide the desired success the less powerful devices. In the first quarter of next year that could LG G2mini be available in stores.

LG G2 mini could appear in the first quarter
A big surprise was LG with a G2 does not provide mini. Thus, the Korean manufacturer would only join the trend of other major manufacturers. Under the name of the current flagship and the addition of "mini" LG will bring, according to Greek media reports, a smartphone on the market, which will be equipped with a 4.7 inch large display and thus only slightly smaller than the LG G2 (5.2 inches) will be.

Whether one can speak at all at 4.7 inches of "Mini", in turn, is one of the main questions that arise users and users. So even LG is not yet sure whether it will publish the device ultimately under that name. Will be presented to the smartphone back in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, which of 7 - 10 January occurs.

New Smartphone is entitled G2 justice
The LG G2 is now one of the high-end smartphones that are equipped with a very good processor and a strong display. And even if the LG G2 mini would not meet with 4.7 inch entitled "Mini", at least that is the attribute "G2" appropriate. It should be 800 fitted with four cores and 2 GB of RAM, a Snapdragon. When the display currently are uncertain: whether 720 x 1280 or 1080 x 1920 pixels will be used is unknown.

Windows 8 Start Menu as a mini-start in planning

For months, it is assumed that Microsoft Start menu inWindows 8 reintroduces because many lack the above-mentioned menus sorely missed. As was known, the start menu is, however, not associated with well-known names are available, but therefore come as a mini-start. The name derives from the fact that it is not a full-screen menu in the style of the start screen of Windows 8.

Windows 8 to get mini-Start menu as a starting
As the most well-informed Microsoft expert Mary Jo Foley reported, citing their trusted sources, to be 8 more than likely the re-introduction of the Start menu in Windows. Here you will however put on a new name, the Mini is starting. This is according to Foley to the fact that they do not put up on a full-screen menu, as it would correspond to the style of the start screen of Windows 8.

Currently stand still "as good as anything" solid, it comes to the design of the menu.Thus, it remains unclear whether they will also like Windows 7 access to documents, pictures, music and other content, or whether it resembles the menu on Windows 8, which provides access only to programs housed there and apps.

Integration could take place only in 2015 with Threshold
When the Startup Menu is exactly return to Windows again, is not yet clear. It is assumed that only the next major version of Windows that is currently known under the code name "Threshold" and 2015 appears, will be equipped with the Start menu. According to Foley, but could also be retrofitted in the spring of 2014 with the so-called "Update 1" forWindows 8.1 conceivable. But then the question arises whether only Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 RT benefit from the menu.

Sony Xperia Z1s passes through U.S. certification authority FCC

Meanwhile, it is customary that a premium manufacturer to introduce miniature versions of their flagship phones. So there are, among other things, a mini HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. Sony also wants the non-inferior and present sooner or later the Xperia Z1s. Now the device is pitched at the US-American FCC certification body which gives us hope for an early release of the device.

As can be seen from the documents of the FCC, the outer dimensions are 129mm in height and 64.9 mm in width. For comparison, a Xperia Z1 manages to 144mm in height and 74 mm in width. The display is a diagonal of 4.3 inches having 720 pixels at a resolution of 1280 x.

Since the Xperia Z1s from a technical perspective is likely to correspond to the Sony Xperia Z1f already available in Japan, most of the data are largely known. So here, a QSD 800 SoC with 2.2GHz, 2GB of RAM and a 20.7-megapixel main camera will be on board. Also Sony will revert to a water-and dust-proof housing.

The idea for the international market is targeted for the first quarter of 2014, a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 is therefore likely to be more than likely.
