Video: Quick look at Sony Xperia Tablet Z2

We were at Sony's Dealer Event and one of the highlights of their product portfolio is the new and very much improved Xperia Tablet Z2. Now even lighter than the previous model, the tablet Z2 is fully waterproof, features a more powerful 2.3 GHz Qualcomm Quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM running Android Jelly Bean OS and a stunning new display. Sony's really ahead of the game with their water and dust resistance feature but they've managed to keep things really thin and light at 439 grams. Available in black or white, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 comes to market real soon

Facebook Messenger lands on Windows Phone san voice messaging and chat heads

Windows Phone users rejoice! Facebook Messenger made its debut on the Microsoft platform earlier than expected. The app comes over a week following Mobile World Congress announcement. It has most of the features of Facebook’s chat app, including group conversations, stickers, and photo sharing. However, it doesn’t have voice messaging and chat heads at the moment. We’d expect those additional features will come at a later date. But if you can live without those now, you can download the app here.
