Microsoft tipped to add folders to Windows Phone

It seems Microsoft is starting to take design cues from iOS and Android with reports that Windows Phone 8.1 will carry the ability to have folders on the Metro interface of the mobile operating system. The Verge reports that a removed support article showed the company’s plans to support app folders natively. It will be similar to how Android and iOS implement it by letting users drag one tile on top of another to create folders that users can rename. We will let you know if we find out anything else about this new report.

Opera Mini gets an update for iOS

Don’t want to use native Safari mobile browser or Google Chrome? Opera Mini for iOS just got a new update that adds a new surfing mode and interface that complements the iOS 7 design. Perhaps this will entice you to give this browser a try. Opera also introduced a new web surfing option called Opera Turbo. This mode compresses around half as much as Mini mode and gives you quicker access to your favorite sites with a customizable speed dial page. If you find your browser lacks a bit of style, you can also swap visual themes.

Other features include a Discover section that shows stories related to subjects such as technology, sports, arts, etc. but you can’t add your own sites to this section as well as the ability to scan QR codes right from the browser. If you want to give these new features a spin, you can download the app here.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

Text and photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla 

Samsung’s surprised me this year with snappy looking and quite premium feeling set of Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablets. I had the opportunity to check out and video both 10.5 and 8.4-inch versions, I’ve also been testing the smaller Galaxy Tab S 8.4 inch model.

Like many consumers, I’ve become somewhat confused with the blurred lines between Samsung’s recent Galaxy Tab and Note models. SPen styli aside, it takes a while to make out one product line from the other, especially in the last year when there was an abundance of white used across the board.

Well, there’s no confusing this year's Galaxy Tab S line. Exceedingly slim, these tablets have gilded borders and buttons, sport eye-catching high-resolution Super AMOLED displays and have climbed up various notches in terms of style as well as updated  look and feel of materials.
