LG Display’s new Capacitive In-Cell Multi-Touch LCD panel has been given the go ahead by Microsoft with a Windows 7 Touch Logo certification. The 13.3-inch panel, that comes across a perfect fit for laptops with multi-touch functions that enable simultaneous recognition of two touch points, has in-cell touch sensor embedded in the display. The sensors have been built into the panel.

Expected to be ready for mass production by the second half of the current year, the panel saw the wraps taken off it at the FPD (Flat Panel

A new FCC filing has provided more strength to talk on Microsoft’s Project Pink phone project. Significantly, this comes just as a few days after regulatory passage of the PB10ZU from Sharp. Close on the heels of the device expected to be the pebble-shaped Turtle comes the latest filing, for the PB20ZU. And, the latest FCC filing correlates with the second design.

Rumors mills have started working overtime since then. Project Pink’s rumored second phone, likely to be known as the ‘Pure’, is what the Sharp PB20ZU is

Project Pink is Microsoft’s much-rumored-about upcoming consumer cellphone platform, that hasn’t really been confirmed yet. Now some more news has come to light about Project Pink with Gizmodo claiming to have received a bunch of promotional material ahead of an imminent launch. They are using the same “Turtle phone” which was leaked last year and it confirms Verizon as the carrier.

Gizmodo has only been able to share one tiny image so far, since their leak apparently came from someone working with Microsoft who

Project Pink has been talked about quite a lot lately, as rumors have it that Microsoft are very close to the device’s release date, and we’ll soon get to enjoy it first-hand. The first thing that’s been released as near-confirmed is that the phones will be distributed by Verizon exclusively.

This makes sense if you consider the CDMA radios that were passing through the FCC recently. The UI is stated to be “hectic and colorful”, and the device will heavily utilize cloud technology, in combination

Recently, Microsoft have revealed that the Xbox LIVE service is due to be updated soon, and the new update will make it incompatible with first-generation Xbox games. The company has taken great care to ensure their users aren’t left empty-handed from the whole ordeal, though.

Halo 2 is still relatively popular online, and the new update will put an end to that for good – according to the news release by Microsoft, games will still work fine in offline mode, but those that rely on Xbox LIVE for multiplayer

Microsoft unveiled the Surface in 2008, but even though the multi-touch technology looked great, it had the issues of price to encounter. Some even found the Surface too cumbersome for use and the technology didn’t quite take off. That however, may not be the case with the new project Microsoft has in store, the mobile version of Microsoft Surface.

Called “Mobile Surface” the project looks quite similar to a number of concepts, and designs with similar ideas. And it is indeed an idea that looks great, and gives you the opportunity to

Microsoft has upgraded its award-winning line of BlueTrack Technology mice that comes in the form of the Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500, Wireless Mouse 2000 and Comfort Mouse 4500.

Last September, Microsoft’s Courier tablet / e-book device was revealed, and since then people have been wondering about specific details on the device, and when it would become available. And now, there’s been some new information released which sheds some light on the upcoming gadget.

The PlayStation Network has been down today, and customers have been expressing severe frustration over the matter. It doesn’t seem to be an issue with the downtime itself, as much as the fat that Sony still haven’t made an official statement on the matter.

A lot of PS owners have expressed intentions to switch to the Xbox 360 – even though the Xbox Live network hasn’t been without downtimes of its own, Microsoft have always stayed in contact with players and have done their best to ensure a quick

HTC gave a slight hint at the possibility of a Windows Phone 7 update for their HTC HD2, but this all fell apart now as Microsoft denied this. The reason they’ve given is rather odd – the device apparently has too many buttons.

Of course, completely unexpectedly, the device meets Microsoft’s requirements for the update in terms of hardware with its 1GHz Qualcomm CPU, but the problem is that Windows Phone 7 requires three buttons on the device, while the HD2 has five, which completely rules out an OS
