Microsoft’s devouring of our favorite mobile apps continues today with the acquisition of 6Wunderkinder, makers of popular task management app Wunderlist.

The buyout, which comes just four months after Microsoft acquired Sunrise, will help the software continue its mission to reinvent productivity in a mobile-first world, it says.

Nintendo has denied claims that its upcoming NX console will run Android.

An earlier report out of Japan, citing sources familiar with Nintendo’s plans, promised that the NX would employ Android software in an effort to attract new users and developers. But unfortunately for those excited by that prospect, it’s not going to happen.

Samsung already has a flagship phablet series in the Galaxy Note, but that won’t stop it from launching a larger version of the Galaxy S6, according to a new report.

Sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans say a “Galaxy S6 Plus” will launch in the coming weeks, with a display measuring around 5.5 inches in size and Samsung’s impressive 16-megapixel rear-facing camera.

I had been looking forward to the Google I/O keynote for weeks before it kicked off Thursday. I was rubbing my hands together like a little kid on Christmas morning when Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president, took to the stage to reveal what the company had up its sleeve.

But when the event ended two and a half hours later, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. Santa had visited — but instead of bringing what was on my list, he’d left me with a bunch of cheap gifts I knew I’d be bored with by the time the turkey was cooked.
