Lenovo rumoured to release Windows Phone device this year

Lenovo hasn’t entered the Windows Phone market yet but recent reports claim they plan to release a Windows Phone device this year. Ubergizmo cites WP7Forum.ru reports that Lenovo will break into the Windows mobile market following the Windows Phone 8.1 announcement in April.

The device will reportedly cost around $420 and will be a mid-range device with features such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 or 600 processor with a 4.5-inch or 5-inch display. Of course, you have to take these rumours with a grain of salt. But we will keep you posted on any updates.

Wacom to allow cross-platform sharing of handwritten notes

Wacom wants its users to be able to share notes across devices and platforms with its new tool. The Wacom Ink Layer Language or WILL is designed to capture pen stroke coordinates, creator identity, and pressure to allow for the cross-platform sharing. This concept will also work to allow editing by other users. The company will start promoting WILL through the distribution of the SDK to iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS platforms, as well as cloud-based platforms and browsers. They hope to gain partners to develop the idea further and make the concept a reality.

So, if you are the perpetual party planner (or actually do that for a living), you can have as many boards as you can to keep track of your plans.
