Hands on with the Android M Developer Preview.#

Much of Microsoft's marketing of their Surface tablets focuses on the built-in hinge that makes it a laptop replacement. Clearly, the hinge is needed in order for it to even be considered a laptop replacement, but I am finding it valuable when using Surface as a tablet. Kick back in recliner, set up the Surface sans keyboard on my lap, and quickly scroll through Twitter and my RSS feeds by simply sliding my finger up and down on the screen. I find this more comfortable than doing the same with my iPad. #

I browsed the Windows Store this morning, looking for todo list apps that use Exchange as a backend and only found one. I am surprised that Microsoft didn't create a Windows 8 app for the Tasks section of Outlook/Exchange. Tasks/todo seems to be the orphaned child at Microsoft, which means their acquisition of Wunderlist makes a ton of sense.#

Microsoft confirms acquisition of productivity app Wunderlist I wonder whether Microsoft will make Wunderlist work with Exchange?#
