If you've been paying attention to Windows 8 news at all, you'll know that Microsoft is adding support for ARM processors, the kind that smartphones and tablets run on. Microsoft wants to have Windows run well on the leaner packages tablets must be in to be popular, which is what an ARM processor is suited for. But tablets are only one part of the mobile equation, what about Windows Phone?

We've posted about the Nokia Lumia 900 before, and how it's an awesome and well awarded smartphone that includes the NFC chip and 4G LTE. What has still been unknown was the price and release date. We had somewhat of a clue before, but we may be inching further towards the horizo...

In a perfect world, everything would work right and everyone would be honest. We don't live in a perfect world though, do we? Sadly, some people are out for profit and won't mind making some unscrupulous moves to make that happen, and so it is with this so called Chrome app by Manikandan S.

We've already seen the ease and efficiency of WP7 and Mango shine in such events as Smoked by Windows Phone, and detailed some tips and tricks to use WP7 to the fullest before, but Doug Thomas of Office Casual is putting together a series of videos to further elaborate on just how powerful WP7 can be.

We know Tango is on the way. We know it's going to be aimed at the lower end of the market to gain ground in markets across the world. But what about here? What tangible benefits will Tango bring to improve your experience with your existing phones? Let's take a look, shall we?

As if it wasn't already abundantly clear, Nokia is working closely with Microsoft to ensure that Windows Phone is a success. Nokia's worked hard on some quality apps that are available to all Windows Phone users (along with their exclusives such as Nokia Drive). Now it seems that Nokia will be working with Microsoft on Bing Maps.

For some reason which I simply cannot understand, people really love Instagram. It allows you to take pictures, apply filters to them, then share them across the web. It's something like the Twitter (another service I'll never understand the appeal of) of image sharing. It's currently only available officially on iOS, but for some people this is a big deal to have, so getting a client on WP7 would be something of a big deal, and Metrogram is shaping up to be that client.

Some time ago Sony Ericsson decided to go with Android over Windows Phone for their smartphones, but rumors have popped up from time to time that they're still working on a WP7 offering. We've noticed some designs that seem clearly influenced by the Nokia Lumia, but perhaps they've finally thrown some of their own hardware into the WP7 ring?

The cloud is an ever-growing list of services which promises that your computing experience will be the same no matter where you are. We haven't hit the dream yet and still have a lot of internet infrastructure to build before the ideal cloud can be achieved, but everything is built in steps. Microsoft has now patented the next step on the way to building a better cloud experience.

RIM, the Blackberry giant is starting to dwindle. And Microsoft might have to bite. Why? Well we don't want Google jumping in there now do we. What I mean is, is if such a giant as RIM lets the highest bidder take the cake, it's a huge amount of potential for another company to gather up with their other content. But would it be a good move for Microsoft?
