New Samsung Windows Phone tipped for imminent release
While much attention is being focused on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 release date, latest reports have suggested Samsung is set to launch a new Windows Phone powered handset.

With Samsung has remained a bit part player on the Windows Phone scene as Nokia continues as the market’s leading force, new reports have claimed that the Korean manufacturer has a new WP8 powered device in the works, one that could take a number of pointers from the Samsung Galaxy S4.
According to the Twitter-based serial tech tipster @evleaks, the new Samsung Windows Phone handset will be unveiled shortly, with a US network having already teased the device.
“Samsung SM-W750V will be a Windows Phone on Verizon. Codenamed Huron, it looks very similar to a late model Galaxy S,” an @evleaks Tweet teased.
Although Samsung has as yet failed to offer any indications as to if or when it will renew its Windows Phone efforts, with MWC 2014 less than three weeks away, the mobile show looks like a likely launch venue for the company’s new phone.
While specs for the company’s new Windows Phone handset still remain shrouded in mystery, it is believed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 influenced handset could boast a similar array of innards to the former flagship phone, just with a newer Snapdragon 800 CPU in tow in a bid to better rival the latest models.
With a 5-inch Full HD display one of many S4 features expected to be brought across to the Samsung SM-W750V Windows Phone device, a 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera and 2GB of RAM have also been tipped for inclusion.

Office for iPad apps tipped for imminent release
Microsoft finally looks set to embrace Apple’s market-leading tablets, with Office for iPad apps tipped for an imminent release.
Following more than a year of will they, won’t they back and forth, latest reports from well-informed tipsters have claimed that an Office for iPad launch could now be just a matter of months away.
Surprisingly, however, it has been suggested that Microsoft will bring its Office services to iPad before the software package is rolled out for its own, Windows 8.1-powered tablet collection.
According to ZDNet’s renowned Microsoft tipster Mary Jo Foley, outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has approved an Office for iPad release, with the tablet-based software reportedly set for a pre-July launch. Despite having pioneered its own tablet-based platform, Microsoft will reportedly introduce Office for iPad prior to rolling out a touchscreen-friendly Windows 8.1 version of the productivity software later in the year.
“As you might expect, Microsoft officials are declining to comment on anything having to do with Office on iPad but don’t believe the naysayers,” Foley stated.
She teasingly added: “Office for iPad is coming. And sooner than many think.”
While Foley’s sources have hinted that an Office for iPad release will be with us before the year’s midway point, Microsoft itself has teased that it could soon embrace Apple’s tablet line that is spearheaded by the new iPad Air and iPad Mini 2.
“As we step back and say, these core applications, these core brands that are so important to enterprise customers and consumers, how do we make sure that we’re thoughtful about what we’re doing on the Windows platform, as well as cognizant of the fact that there’s other devices in their lives,” Microsoft’s Marketing Chief Tami Reller said.
“So you’ll see us be thoughtful about how and when we bring what applications to what platforms.”
