Samsung is set to overhaul its TouchWiz user interface for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge to provide a more streamlined experience that’ll be snappier than ever before — but exactly how far will it go?
Will the South Korean company really do away with all of its own apps and make them optional? Apparently so. Sources say just three Samsung apps will come pre-installed on its next-generation Galaxy S devices.

Google’s Chromebook lineup could get a whole lot more exciting this year as the company prepares to take on the Microsoft Surface and similar devices.
Sources claim the search giant is developing a new 2-in-1 notebook that runs both Android and Chrome OS that will be completed by the end of this quarter.

Samsung today released a brief press release to announce that its contract dispute with Microsoft has ended in the U.S. Court.
Samsung may have dropped the Snapdragon 810 from its Galaxy S6 lineup, but plenty of other hardware makers are perfectly happy with it.
To remind fans and partners of that, Qualcomm today issued a press release confirming the chip’s adoption by more than 60 “premium tier mobile devices,” and containing heaps of praise from LG, Motorola, Microsoft, and others.

Back in December, we noted that Microsoft had acquired the popular iOS and Android email app Acompli, which offered a more task-oriented approach to email, with the ability to schedule meetings, edit your calendar, and in your most important emails to the top of the page.
Just under two months on, and Microsoft is launching a cross-platform version of Outlook for the first time ever — incorporating pretty much all the tools previously found in Acompli.
And don’t worry: if you’re not a user of Microsoft’s email services, Outlook also supports Yahoo, iCloud and Gmail accounts.
