I noticed...I've also noticed that Bing *is* getting better and better. Just installed a new SUR-40 Bing app and it's pretty nice and the GeoData is pretty up to date.

Search traffic is getting better too. Setup a few ad campaigns for people on Bing, the results for many of them were comparable to Google for much less cost.

I don't think it is an actual Apollo phone but it could be an RT tablet, either MS branded or from Barnes & Noble. I highly doubt it is built by Nokia but branded MS - it would want its own name on it (they need to rebuild their own brand)

@Rdytmire where did you get the Bing maps app? Is it for Microsoft Surface? I have Win 7 and a touchscreen and would like to try it out...

Thanks!

There is a new Touchpack for windows 7 out. It's a collection of stuff that works on Windows 7 touch but is enhanced when used on a SUR-40 (Surface 2).

We like the coy pond as it's the Surface 2 attract app with fish.

Anyone think it's worth the gamble to buy MSFT prior to the "major announcement"?

Or perhaps a better gamble to sell short prior to the announcement?

Balmer is finally being replaced.

"Whoa, what? -WHO???!!"
Throxx looks at the MicroSoft BUY button for the first time since the 1990's.... )

"Nope. Sorry, dude; -Balmer is still in. "
