Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 has taken the platform to new heights thanks to a range of improvements over previous versions, but the software giant isn't ready to call it a day just yet. Already working on the next update to Windows Phone, dubbed as GDR1, and expected to release it soon, here are the upcoming features that consumers and phone makers can expect to begin shipping on new devices.
There's a certain voyeurism that goes along with sharing screenshots of home screens. In fact, we're as guilty as anyone in that regard after our post yesterday which showed the home screens of the RP team's phones. That post proved as popular as we knew it would, and there are even web sites that are aimed at sharing what tech celebrities have on their home screens, and we love them as much as everyone else.
Microsoft's Windows Phone is still playing catch-up with the competition, but it does have some benefits that even iOS and Android can't quite manage to put together.

Below, you'll find the usual details as well as that all-important download link.

The iPhone 6 leaks have been arriving thick and fast these past few weeks, with the manufacturing process now apparently in full swing. Today, we're getting a look at what is claimed to be the upcoming Apple handset's logic board, which offers details on the Wi-Fi hardware as well as clues on the NFC implementation.
Samsung was solely responsible for creating the "phablet" genre of mobile devices when it announced the original Galaxy Note at IFA Berlin in 2011. A device that combined the large screen of a tablet with the traditional functionality of a smartphone seemed like a great idea at the time; and even worked extremely well in practice thanks to the execution of the idea with the Galaxy Note series. However, it seems that Samsung simply isn’t happy with the state of the phablet market and have taken things to the next ridiculous level by launching a 7-inch device that it expects consumers to make and receive voice calls on.
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users stroll through the App Store on a weekly basis to see what creation has been chosen to be Apple's "App of the week". As you might expect, there's been some truly fantastic and innovative offerings that have managed to grab the title.

This week however, it's hard to imagine anyone arguing with the decision, especially if you are a child of the 80s, as Apple's App Store team has chosen to select Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run as the app of the week.
