Outlook 2013 coming to Windows RT tablets as part of the Windows 8.1 update

As part of the upcoming Windows 8.1 update, the Redmond giant will also launch Outlook 2013 for Windows RT tablets. For some reason, Office 2013 for Windows RT didn’t come included and Microsoft is now doing something about it. Actually that “now” won’t be before this fall, but better late than never. Once it’s ready for the prime time, Outlook will boast inline replies and “peeks” to view … Read more

CleverCall is a novel solution currently raising money at Kickstarter. The idea here is simple and powerful – merge your landline with a smartphone, allowing you to use your iPhone or Android-powered device to make cheap phone calls. And it’s not just the software – there’s also a device that connects to your landline to route calls to your smartphone (while allowing you to make landline calls with a smartphone). This in turn could easily remove roaming charges, presuming you’re connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. The system is (will be) … Read more
