Microsoft says Windows Phone Remote Desktop app will join iOS and Android counterparts
Yesterday, Microsoft released Remote Desktop apps for iOS and Android that let smartphone users control their Windows PCs on the go, but there was no Windows Phone version in sight. Fortunately, it’s something the company is working quickly to fix.According to The Next Web, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that a Remote Desktop app for Windows Phone was in the works, though there’s no specific timeframe for that launch yet. “Remote desktop on phones is a relatively rare usage scenario,†the statement reads. “That said, we are working on a version of the app for Windows Phone. We’ll be able to share timeframe at a later point in time.†It’s still a little surprising to see Microsoft’s own OS play second fiddle to iOS and Android, but hopefully Windows Phone users won’t have to wait too long.

Google rolling out updates to Chrome for Android and for the desktop
Google announced today some new features that are being added to the Chrome browser on both the desktop and in the Android version of the browser. On the desktop, Google has added a new menu item in the right-click popup menu that will let users “Search Google for this image.†Users could already search by image via the image results page. This change makes it much easier for users to access that functionality and they will be able to initiate the search from any web site.
On Android devices, Google is adding more gesture support in the mobile browser. Google indicates three new gestures have been added:
- Swipe horizontally across the top toolbar to quickly switch tabs.
- Drag vertically down from the toolbar to enter into the tab switcher view.
- Drag down from the menu to open the menu and select the item you want without having to lift your finger.
The changes will be rolling out to users over the new few days. If you want to manually check the Google Play store to see if the update is ready for your device, you can use the download link below.
Nexus 5 Android 4.4 log file reveals OIS, USB OTG support, and updated stock apps
Last week, a log file for Android 4.4 from a Nexus 5 was leaked. It revealed some goodies, but we have a few more thanks to continued sleuthing. It looks like the Nexus 5 is going to get USB OTG support, which is a nice addition. Also, the camera has never been the bright spot on past Nexus devices, but things are hopefully changing because the Nexus 5 will have optical image stabilization (OIS). Most of the flagship phones feature this except for Samsung’s Galaxy series. Lastly, we can expect an upgrade with many stock Android apps. This is normal, but we can tell where the major upgrades are by the version numbers. The following list of stock Android apps show the current version followed by the updated version on the Nexus 5…..
- Google Sound Search: 1.1.8 â€" 1.1.11
- Email: 4.1 â€" 6.0
- Clock: 2,0.3 â€" 3.0
- Orologio: 2.0.3 â€" 3.0.0
- Currents: 2.1.1 â€" 2.1.2
- Cloud Print: 0.6.1b â€" 0.8.3
- Google Authenticator: 2.49 â€" 3.55
- Play Books: 2.9.21 (varia in base al dispositivo) â€" 3.0.1
- Galleria: 1.1.40012 -Â 1.1.40030
- Hangouts: 1.2.018 â€" 1.3.012
- QuickOffice: 6.1.180 â€" 6.2.255
- Play Store: 4.3.11 â€" 4.4.2
- Gmail: 4.6 â€" 4.6.1
As you can see, we will get big bumps with Email, Clock, and Google Authenticator with slight bumps for all others. The Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 Kit Kat are rumored to be unveiled this month so expect invitations to go out very shortly.
