Lein | April 9, 2013 11:12 AMRead OnYou might be able to read that headline and interpret it as saying that everything in Windows Phone 8 has improved so much that the best part of the previous version is now the worst part of the latest version. Or you might read that as saying the best part of the previous version has been completely ruined in Windows Phone 8. The latter is going to be the case here.

by Jaime Rivera | October 15, 2012 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we go through the photos of the Sony Nexus X that were recently discovered. Then we talk about the leaked price rage that we may find for the iPad Mini later this month along with the possible storage and wireless variances.
