Oct. 4, 2010— -- Microsoft is reportedly a week away from launching the new Windows Phone 7. The phone will be available in the United States about a month later. It will feature an Xbox gaming platform.
It will also reportedly have a camera, GPS, compass and touch screen. AT&T will be the exclusive service provider.
Typing on an Android or IOS mobile device could soon get a lot easier. Google has acquired Blindtype, a company that specializes in figuring out what people actually mean to type when they hit the wrong keys. Its system adjusts to the typist's perceived keyboard and typing style.
