Redmond-based Microsoft may soon introduce an Android-based smartphone. However, the new device will not be a part of the Lumia series as the company is ending its Windows Phone support.
According to Windows Latest, a Microsoft representative has stated that the company is working on "a new line of phones". At the moment, the only information provided is that the device will be available on the Microsoft Store. The report points out that there could be a possibility that the representative is referring to Microsoft Edition Android phones from third-party OEMs.
As there is no official word by the company for now, let’s take this news with a pinch of salt.
The new version of Microsoft's Office software suite isn't expected to be publicly available before the second half of 2018. Microsoft is offering a first look at Office 2019 for Windows 10 to businesses that are members of its evaluation program.
The Office package currently being tested includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, as well as Publisher, Access, Project, Visio and OneNote. The remaining programs (Exchange, SharePoint, Project Server and Skype for Business) will be rolled out later.
Office 2019 will notably do more to embrace touchscreen functionality, aimed evidently at tablet users, but also at users of the increasingly popular touchscreen or hybrid PCs. In PowerPoint, for example, improved inking tools will let users play with various effects, colors and line thicknesses. It will also be possible to reposition objects onscreen using a stylus. In this new version, PowerPoint also integrates icons and 3D images.
