OT: Microsoft Windows 8 / Apple iPhone 5

[Zzizzy]

This isn't exactly Disney related, but I know many of you folks are interested in new stuff, especially if it realtes to mobile phones. Here is some news that was just released......

Microsoft officials have reported that the newest version of Windows 8 has been designed with mobility in mind. Microsoft says it will be easier to manage Wi-Fi and 3G/4G wireless connections with this version than with past versions of the Windows mobile operating system.

In other news, reports claim that Apple’s iPhone 5 launch is on track for a summer release. According to the 9 to 5 Mac blog, the phone will have a 4-inch or larger display, will be slightly longer and wider than current iPhone and will have a different form factor than the iPhone 4 and 4S. eWEEK is also reporting that AT&T has released a suite of Unified Communications services that will let users collaborate and communicate from nearly any device from any location and transition between methods of communication seamlessly.

We are definitely becoming more "mobile-centric".
