Windows Phone has been struggling to catch up to Android and iOS ever since its release, and most would blame the platform’s lack of apps and Microsoft’s leisurely approach to adopting the latest technologies. And it’s not just consumers that are becoming frustrated with the situation.

Even Nokia, Microsoft’s biggest Windows Phone partner, wants the software giant to get a move on and make the mobile platform more of a priority.

Google has only just announced its latest flagship Android tablet, the Nexus 7, which is the only device on the market to include the highest resolution 7-inch display. However, just 5 days after the handset was unveiled rumors are starting to emerge suggesting that Google will drop its hardware partnership with ASUS in favor of LG, for its next Nexus 7 in 2014.

International customers who want to get their hands on the new Nexus 7 as soon as it goes on sale outside of the U.S. can now begin registering their interest in the device. Google has erected a new sign-up page that allows you to enter your email address to get “a heads up when you can get your new Google Nexus 7, on Google Play or at a retailer near you.”

myType started running its Kickstarter campaign for its revolutionary Pocketable Bluetooth Keyboard on July 27, and within 2 days it has achieved $91,159, which is an impressive $81,159 more than its pledge.

If you’re one of a small number of people lucky enough to get your hands on a second-generation Nexus 7 prior to its official launch date of July 31, and you are planning on using Google Wallet with the NFC receiver, you may be stunned to find out that the payment system is not compatible with Google’s latest flagship tablet.
