'McLaren' Phone

'McLaren' in pole position to be next Windows Phone flagship?

Hints over Microsoft's Nokia masterplan


'McLaren' in pole position to be next Windows Phone flagship?
Microsoft may be lining up its next Windows Phone big hitters
Things have been pretty quiet since Microsoft officially took their reins at Nokia, but word has it the company is preparing to make a dash for the mobile podium with a new flagship handset later this year.
According to @evleaks, Microsoft has big plans for a Nokia-made smartphone with the speedy-sounding codename of McLaren.
While there is no news on hardware specs or features as yet, the prolific online leakster says major US networks Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have agreed to carry the mystery device.
The report claims the phone will also be the first to run the software update internally known as Windows Phone Blue GDR1, the first to follow the recent Windows Phone 8.1 boost.

Stepping up

The roadmap identified by evleaks, which appears to be US-centric and not representative of European launch plans, also features a slew of device codenames all set for launch in the second half of 2014.
The names Makepeace and Dempsey, another flagship handset called Talkman and a phablet called Cityman are listed, but again there's no news of specs for those devices.
After a slow 2014 for the iconic mobile company, it looks like Microsoft is preparing to step it up as we build towards the summer and beyond.

Samsung Level In Review

Samsung Level In Review Are we shocked that Samsung wants to be taken more seriously in the mobile audio accessories business? Not really, seeing that they’re known to meddle in several consumer electronics affairs. From smartphones to refrigerators, Sammy has amassed quite a venture that’s not stopping or slowing down any time soon. Very recently, we reported that Samsung introduced a new line of high-end mobile optimized audio series , Level, which spans a wide array of options. In this review, we’re taking a look at a premium in-ear solution – the Samsung Level In. For something priced above the $100 mark, the Samsung Level In doesn’t look or feel premium, which is a sad realization. Visually, it looks exactly like almost any other ordinary pair of headphones that come with the purchase of a smartphone – so there’s nothing too special here.
