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.

Firefox For Android Passes 100 Million Downloads In The Google Play Store Google's mobile version of Chrome has become the de facto standard browser for Android, but never let it be said that it's the only option. Mozilla Firefox, which predates Chrome on both desktop platforms and Android , has been downloaded from the Play Store 100 million times. Mozilla decided to toast the occasion on its official blog . Aside from the obvious user interface differences, the Android version of Firefox has gradually added compelling features like integration with synced Mozilla services (which are a godsend if you use the desktop browser as your primary web interface), extra user-accessible tools like a fullscreen switch, customized search engines, and add-ons that expand the base app's functionality. Though detailed download information isn't posted to the Play Store, it's probably second only to Chrome (and the original AOSP browser in markets like Chi
