Sorry Lumia users: Microsoft breaks its Windows 10 Mobile upgrade promise

Some sad news for Windows Phone users. Although Microsoft had earlier promised that all Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices would receive Windows 10 very soon, it’s going back on it’s own promised word.

A report by The Verge points out that Microsoft started rolling out Windows 10 Mobile to existing Lumia devices this week, and revealed that handsets such as the Lumia 920 and Lumia 1020 will be stuck on Windows Phone 8.

Microsoft’s website had promised that several listed devices would be “first” to upgrade, resulting to that other devices would be “second” in line. Sadly, the company said that there will be no “second wave” of upgrades, and that third party devices that weren’t on the list also won’t make the cut either.

Officially supported Lumia devices include Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Lumia 830, Lumia 730, Lumia 735, Lumia 640, Lumia 640XL, Lumia 635 1GB, Lumia 636 1GB, Lumia 638 1GB, Lumia 540, Lumia 535, Lumia 532, Lumia 435 and Lumia 430.

Windows Phone users are more angry at the fact that Microsoft has, for the second time in a row, broken its promise. Earlier, Windows Phone 7 handsets were never upgraded to Windows Phone 8, and Microsoft had explained that this would not repeat again in the future. Another broken promise is bad news for a mobile operating system that is practically dead, and once again Microsoft has angered its small, but loyal base of Windows Phone users, points out the report.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...
