Left-field here, but…
I’d like a WP phone in exactly the form factor of my RAZR V3xx. I think it would change the market completely.
Let me explain. First, it’s still WP. The screen is still touchscreen (albeit smaller), all the funky stuff is still there. But it has a sensible, usable keypad. It can be used by somebody who works outside and doesn’t necessarily have spotlessly clean hands. It can be closed to protect the screen without needing a big-assed case that you then have to open. It has hardware buttons to make and end a call.
I think actual working people – and remember, there are still hundreds of millions of those out there – would be delighted by a device like this.
It’s just a shame it will probably never happen.

To be fair, I didn’t notice the typo once the article had posted. And it was written in html view. Sadly, the captions in the IMG ALT tags don’t seem to work.
This is something to smile at, nothing more. The longing for linux to make you sexy, the slagging of non-linux installations… it’s funny. And harmless. And a little sad. Why not laugh at it?
For the record, I am currently using a Win7 box connected to a debian webserver running Apache and will shortly go home and tinker with my Win8 box via an Android tablet and Splashtop while the mrs sticks with her MacBook Air.

That’s mostly just nerds. The public don’t know what Zune is.
However, returning to the interface does not necessarily mean you have to return to the name.
Call it XBox Media and you’re done, basically.

That doesn’t work for me. I click “Get a tracking protection list online” and absolutely nothing happens.
