Microsoft will be launching the update process for the new Windows Phone 8.1 update to all of the carriers. That means for those of us with Windows 8 phones, it won’t (hopefully) be long. As long as AT&T, Verizon and everyone else doesn’t make us wait months again after Microsoft launched this kind of news. The new Cortana will be coming with it, and I know I can’t wait (assuming it’s everything they claim it to be). Plus, the inner Halo geek in me just wants to be able to talk to Cortana.
There are some really nice updates coming though. The Nokia Icon (Verizon) already has Windows 8.1 installed on it which is really nice. I haven’t played with the phone yet since I am on another carrier but so far there has been cluster of great feedback and news in regards to it.
Here is hoping that the 8.1 update is everything it seems to be.

I have finally rolled out the new login system for this blog. No more annoying login/comment box on all the posts that looks out of place or has hard to read text due to color problems (sorry). This one is super user-friendly and offers many 3rd partner networks to login through (ie, facebook, google, windows live, yahoo, youtube, etc) as an alternative to just creating a separate account here. I may also add a login/logout link at the top eventually. New one is super quick though, less information needed by you.
