At Mobile World Congress last month we had a magical experience with ASUS that noone will ever forget – but one device we saw seems to have been looked over until now: the ASUS Transformer AiO.

It would appear that the Windows RT environment has not quite caught on as fast as Samsung would have liked it to, as more than one report out of Germany this week is saying they've decided to leave the market entirely - or at least in Deutschland.

Nokia Lumia 720 USA release imminent: FCC tapped
Today the Nokia Lumia 720 has been spotted running through the hoops at the FCC, this being one of the prerequisites for a USA release and a generally OK indicator that a launch here in the states is imminent. We got to take a peek at the Lumia 720 just a week ago at Mobile World Congress 2013 and found it to be a rather impressive machine - especially considering how inexpensive the company aims for it to be.
