Microsoft courting Facebook for potential Windows Phone powered device.


    Ok, so I made a right meal of that title, but it's the best way to describe the situation here. An 'insider' has today announced that Microsoft are trying their best to convince Zuckerberg & Co. to  created a Facebook phone.

   They want Facebook to create a heavily skinned version of Windows Phone and Microsoft are hoping to leverage their connections with OEM's to give them the best design for a future Facebook phone.

   Right now the timing seems perfect to release a Facebook phone because the company currently struggles to monetize its huge reach, what better way than with their very own phone.



In other news:

  • T-Mobile USA finally has some good news to announce today; they added 187,000 new subscribers in Q1.
  • ICS rolling out to UK Samsung Galaxy Note users!!!!!
  • The Motorola Droid Razr is now available in Blue.
  • The Nokia Lumia 900 is available in the UK, head over to your nearest Phones4U store.
  • Proview, the Chinese company with the iPad trademark in that country, is reportedly demanding $400million compensation from Apple, while Apple is prepared to offer $16million. It'll be interesting to see how this develops.
