    A brand new domain registration ticket shows that Microsoft has added a potential moniker to their next-gen Xbox. Maybe we can stop calling it the Xbox 720 now? Nope, not yet, this is still a rumor. Fusible, a site that essentially uses domain registrations to piece together news and rumors, has discovered that Microsoft recently.

  • Sony “Honami” 20MP flagship Xperia leaks

Codenamed “Honami,” the new phone is said to pack in a Sony-built 1/1.6″ Exmor RS stacked 20MP sensor with a Cybershot G glass lens.

8.1-inch Acer W3 leaked early, visits FCC

8.1-inch Acer W3 leaked early, visits FCC

Acer W3 Finland

Two weeks ago Acer had an event in New York City where they showed off some upcoming Windows 8 hardware. That same day, another upcoming Acer tablet, the W3-810, was leaked early by a premature listing on Amazon. Now we’ve got more images and info about the upcoming little tablet.

The Acer W3 recently went through the FCC. Topping it all off, the device has been leaked a tad early on the Finland Acer website. Between the FCC filling and premature exposure on the Acer Finland site we have a complete picture of the little device. Let’s take a look at the specs on this particular model of the W3 from the Finland site:

  • Windows 8 Pro
  • Intel Atom Z2760 processor
  • 8 inch WXGA 
  • Multi touch LCD
  • 2GB RAM
  • 64GB SSD
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3650
  • 802.11 b/g/n
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 2MP Front facing camera
  • Micro HDMI
  • Micro USB 2.0 port
  • 8 hours of battery

Acer W3 1

Acer W3 2

Acer W3 3

Topping off all those specs? A killer keyboard you can attach to the device, while it looks funny, you can’t beat that kind of productivity when you’re running Windows 8 Pro on a little device like that. Does that keyboard include a battery? It’s hard to say. The diagrams from the FCC filing don’t really show any connector pins on the bottom edge of the W3 to indicate that ability. Which would be a real shame since the battery life would be unreal if that was the case. The keyboard does have the cool ability to snap to the back of the tablet, allowing you to transport them together with ease. The keyboard itself is full-size.

Acer W3 FCC

A lot of people seem to want a Windows 8 machine with the same 4:3 ratio found in the iPad. You won’t find that here with the 16:10 ratio you get with the W3.

What do you guys think of the W3 so far? Something you’d be interested in? Or are you waiting for the rumored Xbox/Surface tablet in that size range?

Spin the wheel with the Microsoft Store Windows Phone app and win prizes

Spin the wheel with the Microsoft Store Windows Phone app and win prizes

Winning

If you find yourself currently situation somewhere within the United States with a Windows Phone you’ll want to enter this little contest from the Microsoft Store. In fact I just won Kinect Sports for the Xbox 360 in less than thirty seconds. Let’s win some prizes.

First up, it looks like the official Microsoft Store app for Windows Phone was updated yesterday. You’ll want to update to the latest version (v2.02), which adds support for specialty stores and minor bug fixes. Now for the fun.

Once you get past all those beautiful people on the lockscreen you’ll be on the main pivot within the app. Right there on the very top you’ll see a purple tile. That purple tile will say “Win with Windows Phone”, click that and you’ll be launched out to IE to finish the little contest/game. Next you’ll sign up through either Facebook or manually entering in your contact info. Once you do that you’ll “spin” the wheel to try and win a prize. It’s fairly self-explanatory and you’ll just need to follow the on screen prompts.

Microsoft Store SC

Congratulations! …If you won something. Daniel won a copy of Halo Reach and George won some Microsoft points to use on Xbox Live. Poor Rich couldn’t play, this looks like a US of A thing for now. What did you guys win? Sound off below!

Grab the Microsoft Store app right here in the Store, QR code it up below, or swipe to the right in our app.

Thanks for the tip Karl!

Deal Alert: Unlocked Nokia Lumia 810 for $310 flat

Deal Alert: Unlocked Nokia Lumia 810 for $310 flat

Lumia 810

Sure, the Nokia Lumia 810 will go down as one of the fastest “blink and you’ll miss it” devices on T-Mobile, but that doesn’t it’s not worth having—maybe even for a backup. Luckily, Groupon, that bastion for smartphone fire sales, has a special going for the next 4 days for the device, completely unlocked.

Featuring GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and HSDPA (850/1700/1900/2100), users on T-Mobile and even AT&T can get in on the action. Sure, there’s no 4G LTE but as a world phone? Not a bad deal.

To refresh, the Lumia 810 was Nokia’s “custom” variant of the Lumia 820. It features a dazzling, borderline neon, 4.3” OLED WVGA display with ClearBlack/Gorilla Glass 2, 8GB internal storage expandable with 64GB microSD card (optional), 8MP rear shoot with Carl Zeiss lens and a 1.5GHz dual core Snapdragon CPU to power it all.

Although the phone is rather square-ish, coming in matte black (though you can buy wireless rechargeable back plate for it), the Lumia 810 falls into the conservative design category by Nokia. Having said that, it’s a solid phone and worth considering at $310 for an unlocked, non-contract device with free shipping.

Head to Groupon here for more information and remember, you only have 4 days to deicide! Thanks, Jonathan, for the tip!

Verizon increasing data allowances on prepaid plans

Verizon increasing data allowances on prepaid plans

Verizon Logo

New plans available to existing customers now; new customers can take advantage June 6

As an update to a previous blog post detailing changes to its prepaid plans, Verizon stealthily made yet another change that will give prepaid customers even more data. Verizon keeps things simple on its prepaid smartphone offerings, with two tiers -- $60 and $70. Both have unlimited talk and text, and previously either 500MB or 2GB of data. Verizon is now bumping those up to 2GB and 4GB, respectively, with no price increase. The plan changes go into effect right away for existing customers that have either of the two plans, but new customers will have to wait until June 6th to have the option available when starting a line.

If you're new to Verizon's prepaid plans, you have to also remember that they are restricted to just its 3G service, and there's no indication of when (if ever) LTE will be included. With that being said, these are still a couple of good options that just got a little more competitive in the steadily expanding prepaid market.

Fire And Forget Review: Rough Around The Edges, But Not Forgettable

Fire And Forget Review: Rough Around The Edges, But Not Forgettable

unnamedWhen a stereotypical madman has access to some conveniently forgotten nuclear weapons, the only thing that can stop him is a flying tank. There is probably no other game in which that sentence makes a lick of sense, but it's the basic premise behind Fire and Forget: Final Assault.

This is an arcade-style action game based on the classic franchise. In this title you must blast your way through waves of bad guys in a post-apocalyptic wasteland to reach Captain Nucleo's nuclear-equipped hovercraft. It certainly sounds like it has all the makings of a killer experience, but is it?

Controls And Gameplay

Each of the 10 stages consist of your car, the Thunder Master III, rocketing down the highway in pursuit of Captain Nucleo.
