For those that care, I am COVID free. It’s another Thursday which means another week of tech talk with Mark Starling and the First News 570 crew. Microsoft announces a delivery date for the Surface Duo, Lyft and Uber threaten to stop sharing rides in California, and Charter Communications want to impose new data caps on your Al Gore, God ge’en Internet. You can listen to Mark and I point and laugh while talking about the wild and crazy technology world every Thursday morning, LIVE at 6:43am Eastern.
DUO IS COMING SOON AND WILL WANTS ONE!
Folding devices might be here to stay. Yesterday, Microsoft unfurled news about its latest Surface device, the Duo. The Duo is an Android powered Surface Phone that folds in half like a little book. The device is reportedly super thin, and is part tablet, part phone, all sexy. The device has two 5.6in AMOLED screens that give you an 8.1 inch display. A lot of talk is being made about the price, the Duo clocks in at $1,400 which is just as much as a single screen and fully tricked out iPhone Max 11. You can drag content, watch a movie while working on a spreadsheet, or read a book while doing your taxes. The new device comes on September 10th, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it fares. Pre-order today.
