Windows Phone hacker René ("Heathcliff74") announced a major update to his Windows Phone Internals tool that unlocks all known Lumia devices.

Just three days after it delivered its biggest-ever Windows Insider build, Microsoft is back with a new build for both PC and Mobile.

This month, AdDuplex takes a look at Windows 10 Mobile and Surface usage data. And yes, there are a few surprises.

Microsoft today delivered a new build of Windows 10 to the Insider Preview. But it's available only for Mobile.

Windows enthusiasts have found a lot to cheer in a recent interview with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Not the least of which is a brief discussion of what he calls "the most ultimate mobile device."

With not much happening in Windows PC or phone usage, AdDuplex this month looks at how the U.S. markets for each is shaping up.

A new Windows Store app platform feature called Chaseable Tiles has started appearing in some in-box Windows 10 apps.

A Windows 10 game called Plimpli Adventures offers a Flappy Bird-type experience, but with a twist: It supports Continuum on Windows phones

Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14959 for Fast ring testers includes Unified Update Platform on Mobile and display scaling improvements in Hyper-V on PC.

The Unified Update Platform (UUP) promises to dramatically reduce the size of the updates---major or minor---that Microsoft delivers to Windows 10 going forward.

Alcatel announced today that its new flagship Windows phone, the IDOL 4S, will ship exclusively on T-Mobile in the U.S. on November 10.

While I've used Continuum in the past, wirelessly and wired, and with and without a dock, the HP Elite x3 Desk Dock is the best experience I've had so far.

Microsoft has delivered a new build of the Windows 10 Insider Preview, and this one is for both PC and Mobile. Key among the new features are some nice updates to Outlook Mail.

As a complete solution for business workers, the HP Elite x3 comprises hardware devices and peripherals, software, and services. Let's look at the phone hardware first.

As some of you may have noticed, I'm a bit down on the HP Elite x3 as a smartphone. But as a locked-down "3-in-1" PC for businesses only, the Elite x3 could make sense. Maybe.

More bad news for Windows phone fans: According to the latest usage stats, Windows 10 Mobile growth has ended. And that shiny new HP Elite x3? It is off to a terrible start.

Microsoft is back with a new Windows 10 Insider Preview build for Fast ring testers, and this time it's available for both PC and Mobile. Build 14946 introduces only a few minor new features.

For the past few years, speculation about a Surface phone has only intensified despite the failure of the platform on which it would run. I don't know if Microsoft still plans to release this device. But it shouldn't do so.

Microsoft has artificially kept Windows phone on life support since its mid-2015 decision to wind down its smartphone ambitions. There are a lot of theories about why the software giant is doing this. But here's the real reason.

Though Windows 10 Mobile made almost no appearance in Microsoft's recent Ignite conference keynotes, the software giant did in fact discuss its future in a show session. And as you might expect given the platform's death spiral, it's pretty limited.

Last night, Microsoft delivered Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14936 for PC and Mobile to testers in the Fast ring. There are no major new features, but this build provides a first peek at some new Edge extensions.

A former Microsoft employee has written a lengthy post about the history of Windows Mobile, noting with regret that the software giant should have owned the mobile market. That sounds pleasant. But it was never going to happen.

Folks, this one is special. If you’re a Windows phone user and you care at all about photography, be sure to check out the free appVinci. It’s basically Prisma, but on Windows and with better performance.

In this month's look at Windows device usage, AdDuplex again examines the uptake for Windows 10 Mobile in particular, and at how the Anniversary Update is spreading across both phones and PCs.

Amazon this week shipped a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app version of its core store experience, delighting users who had previously mourned the death of its previous Windows 8 and Windows phone apps. But this app is really just the Amazon web site in an app wrapper. Does that matter?

Microsoft has released its second "Redstone 2"-era build to Windows Insiders on the Fast ring, and unlike the previous build, this on is available on both PC and Mobile.

Two weeks after Microsoft delivered the Anniversary Update to Windows 10 for PCs, tablets, HoloLens, and IoT, the firm has begun the roll out on Windows phones too. That said, you could still be in for a long wait.
