Microsoft has started to role out the “NoDo” update, which has Windows Phone 7 users jumping for joy! The long awaited update due in February but delayed to get things “just right”, introduces some great features like

• Copy and Paste,
• Faster Games and Apps,
• Improved Marketplace search,
• Stability in the marketplace,
• Better Wifi stability and features,
• Outlook updates to improve iPhone photo attachments,
• Better MMS,
• Facebook integration,
• Fixes when switching modes in the camera,
• Audio improvments over bluetooth
• Other minor updates.

All in all this seems to be a great update for Windows Phone users and its great to see the dedication of Microsoft on getting this out. The update is been rolled out so if you haven’t got it yet just hang in there.

Today the long awaited Firefox 4 update was released globally. It actually slipped out earlier than it should of via the Mozilla FTP site but now can be officially downloaded. So far there has been over 3 million downloads, and Mozilla will be hoping this will bring Firefox back in-line with the likes of Chrome and Safari who have been dominating recently.

Firefox 4 released to the world!

Amazon has launched its Appstore today for Android. They have also managed to secure Angry Birds Rio, which is exclusive to the Amazon appstore. However it hasn’t been an easy launch as Apple have slapped a law suit on Amazon as they are using the “App Store” name which infringes Apples Trademark. Amazon have clearly tried to separate the name by removing the space used in the name “AppStore” but that isn’t enough for Apple.

Amazon Appstore

We will keep you informed of any news! Also to note sadly at the moment this is US only, hopefully Amazon will bring it to the UK soon!

Update: Angry Birds Rio is exclusive on the Amazon Store only for Android it is also available on the App Store for iOS Devices.

Today Google released their brand new logo for their browser, Chrome. From the 3D chrome effect logo to a new 2D Matt finish logo, Google hasn’t stated why it’s changed the design of the logo. This also leads us to wonder will they change to logo of any other of their services, who knows?

The New Google Chrome Logo

So what do you think of the New Logo? Personally I like and don’t like it. However I do feel it is more “logo like” now.

iPad 2 Teardown by iFixit

The folks over at iFixit have once again torn apart dismantled as they do with so many new devices. It’s a pretty sight when something so compact gets taken apart however iFixit also discovered the iPad 2 battery is 0.2 watt hours better than iPad 1 (so not alot), the A5 processor, which we all knew about, and what shattered many geeks hearts,
512mb of Ram, which was rumoured but still is rather shocking. It’s likely Apple will up iPhone 5′s ram to 1GB so why on earth they continue to lag behind with the more powerful iPad, where more power would be more useful no-one knows, but that’s Apple!
