The Nexus 6 has been available to order through Google Play for over two weeks now, but getting hold of one has been incredibly difficult. Google appears to have very little inventory, and when new stock comes in, it sells out within minutes. It should come as no surprise, then, that retail supplies are going to be seriously constrained, too.

Microsoft Office is coming to Android tablets, and you can be part of a select group of users who will get the opportunity to test it ahead of its Play Store debut. Microsoft is now accepting registrations from those who would like access to its beta, which brings the mobile versions of Word, Excel, and Powerpoint to bigger screens.

In addition, the software giant has announced that all Office mobile apps are now free to use.

The Fire Phone hasn’t been anywhere near as successful as Amazon hoped it would be. Sales have been so bad, in fact, that the device has ended up costing the retail giant around $170 million. But Amazon knows where it has gone wrong, and it has every intention of making more smartphones.
