Microsoft is open to the possibility of making a more compact version of its Surface RT tablet, to tap into the lucrative market for pocketable computing currently championed by the Google Nexus 7 and Apple iPad Mini.

Traditionally, Microsoft does not comment on unannounced products, but the company's chief financial officer Peter Klein was unusually talkative while speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology & Internet Conference this week. Fielding a question from the audience about the possibility of a 7in Surface tablet, the answer certainly wasn't no. "We're really set up [for making a 7in tablet]" Klein responded. "The notion of flexibility and the scalability of the operating system is actually intrinsic to our vision and our strategy.

"We talk a lot about devices and services, and when we say devices and services, we mean a set of experiences that are complete, that are compelling, and that are consistent across a whole range of form factors and devices, including size of form factor. [In Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8] you have the same core code base driving form factors from 4in all the way up to 27in all-in-ones and everything in-between.

"I think we’re really set up to deliver the most versatile set of experiences across form factors, whether that’s 4in, 5in, 7in, 8in, 10in, 13in - and along with our partners in the ecosystem, we’ll work through that based on underlying demand."

That last reference to ecosystem partners suggests that Microsoft may be allowing its software licensees to sniff out the market for a 7in Windows tablet first before taking the plunge itself - but the company would certainly consider such a device. In such a small form factor, however, it would likely be restricted to the ARM-compatible Windows RT operating system found in its Surface RT tablets, rather than the Windows 8 platform from its Intel-powered Surface Pro devices.

With Microsoft claiming its Surface tablets are enjoying strong sales, despite reports of poor supply hampering availability of the Surface Pro and cut component orders pointing to overestimated demand for the Surface RT, the tablet market appears to be poised to grow yet again.

RSS Feeds News | Forum | Store Windows Phone Kodak Printers Smarter Kuga Latest News Apple MacBook Retina models get faster CPUs, cost you less  1 of 5 Gallery Posted on 13 Feb 2013 at 15:53

Apple has reduced the price of its flagship MacBook Pro with Retina display, making the high-resolution laptops slightly more affordable while introducing newer, faster processors for extra performance.

Announced today, the 13in MacBook Pro Retina has dropped to £1,249 for the base model with 128GB of flash memory. The more expensive model has received a speed bump up to 2.6GHz in the shape of a new Intel processor, and will cost £1,449 for 256GB of solid state storage.

This price drop puts the entry-level Retina model in direct competition with the regular 13in MacBook Pro - the higher resolution laptop might have a slower CPU, but it matches the MacBook for memory and has a solid state disk instead of a slower mechanical hard disk. Intel's integrated graphics admittedly struggle to run games at the native 2,560x1,600 resolution, and in Apple's scaled mode you get less physical desktop space, but the Retina model has a clear advantage when it comes to editing photos.

The larger 15in MacBook Pro Retina has also received an upgrade, gaining a faster 2.4GHz quad-core processor in the entry-level model for £1,799 and a 2.7GHz quad-core chip in the top-end model, which now comes with 16GB of RAM for £2,299.

Finally, The ultra-thin MacBook Air 13in was also reduced today, meaning Apple fans can now pick one up with 256GB of flash memory for £1,199.

The new prices went into effect at lunchtime, with the Apple store already updated for anyone eager to spend their cash.

RSS Feeds News | Forum | Store Windows Phone Kodak Printers Smarter Kuga Latest News HTC M7 release date, features and price rumours  1 of 7 Gallery Posted on 15 Feb 2013 at 13:11

Our HTC M7 release date, specs & price rumours article will grow to accommodate even more speculation as we approach the release date. So save this page and keep checking back for regular updates

HTC is mere days away from revealing its latest flagship smartphone, which is expected to be known as either the HTC M7 or HTC One (something). We've heard plenty of rumours and leaks over the past few weeks, which we've collected here.

HTC M7 NAME
Although initial leaks referred to the device as the M7, HTC CEO Peter Chou mentioned the HTC One name when he revealed the handset early at an internal company event in Taipei. Engadget spotted the video and translated his comments, which hinted at a possible name change.

Should HTC stick with the One branding, it could confuse customers who already have to choose between the One X, One X+, One S, One SV, One V and One XL.

HTC M7 SCREEN
It was originally anticipated that the M7 would have a 5in display, putting it on par with the Sony Xperia Z, Huawei Ascend D2 and ZTE Grand S, but a new wave of rumours have pointed to a 4.7in screen - the same size as the One X and One X+. However, it is expected to have a Full HD 1080p resolution - giving it more pixels per inch than the competition.

HTC has used AMOLED display technology in the past, but made the switch to super LCD a few years ago. The M7 is expected to continue this trend, although we won't know for sure until the official unveiling.

HTC M7 DESIGN
Several images purporting to be the M7 have appeared online in the run up to the phone's official launch, but as we get closer to release the leaks are becoming more consistent. Original leaks from Pocketnow suggested the M7 will closely resemble the Windows Phone 8-powered HTC 8X, with rounded corners and and a smooth curved rear, but newer photos, courtesy of twitter user @evleaks, show a sleek metal body with machined speaker grilles and two hardware buttons instead of the usual three.

A newer image, which shows an altogether different design

Leaks from different sources have revealed two potential colours - black and gunmetal silver. There may be others to follow, but it could be a sign that HTC has given up on the matt plastic finish it used for the One series of phones.

HTC M7 OPERATING SYSTEM
The pre-release images seen above also give us a possible early glimpse at the latest iteration of HTC's Sense interface. It shows a more streamlined, minimalist layout with monotone widgets and a redesigned set of icons. There also appears to be large, rectangular shortcut icons that are reminiscent of the Live Tiles interface found on Windows Phone 8.

Although most early leaks have pointed to Android Jelly Bean, there's no clue as to whether it will be 4.1 or 4.2. With Google saving the latest version of its operating system for its own Nexus-branded devices, we would be surprised if HTC had managed to secure version 4.2 in time for an expected March release.

HTC M7 CAMERA
When HTC released an infographic hinting at a "new sound and camera experience" for 2013, it added to rumours the company was working on a new camera that will use Ultrapixel technology.

Ultrapixel technology apparently uses multiple sensors to combine several shots into one for the best possible image. This pixel sampling technology could mean better low light photography, high resolution images or more detailed, smaller resolution ones - we'll have to wait to see what HTC confirms before we'll know for sure, but it looks to be competition for Nokia's Pureview camera.

HTC M7 PROCESSOR AND 4G
Although HTC used two different processors for the American and International One X handset (due to LTE/4G compatibility), rumours are pointing to a single CPU for the M7. It is likely to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core chip running at 1.7GHz, along with 2GB of RAM to power whichever version of Android HTC opts to use. Such a chipset would ensure support for 4G networks in the UK.

HTC M7 STORAGE
If HTC stays true to form, the M7 will likely come with 32GB of internal storage but lack any form of MicroSD card expansion. Both previous flagship handsets, the One X and One X+, only had internal storage, and we don't expect this to change with the new model.

HTC M7 PRICE
As a Full HD smartphone, we fully expect the M7 to enter at the top end of the smartphone market. With similar phones costing upwards of £450, HTC will probably follow suit rather than try and undercut the competition.

HTC M7 RELEASE DATE
HTC posted a countdown clock to its US homepage last week, with the timer counting towards the launch event on the 19th of February. We'll give you hands-on coverage of the handset on the day of launch.

HTC needs to get its new flagship on sale as quickly as possible, as it faces stiff competition from the likes of Sony's Xperia Z which goes on sale on the 28th of February. Mobile World Congress is also right around the corner, and both Samsung and Google are expected to announce their new handsets at events in the coming months. The latest rumour is that it will appear in shops on the 8th of March.
