Want to test upcoming Windows 10 features before they’re available to the general public? You can join the Windows Insider program to try preview builds, or sign up for “fast ring” for even faster access.
Now developers of Universal Windows Platform apps can use a similar system to let some people get early access to new features.
Microsoft has added support for “package flights” to the Windows Store. This lets developers make some updates only available to a select group of users.

Like the idea of Amazon Prime, but don’t like the idea of spending $99 in advance for a full 1-year membership? Now there are two other options.
Now Amazon is letting you pay $10.99 per month for Amazon Prime or $8.99 per month just for Amazon Prime Video.
Either way, if you end up keeping your membership for 12 months you’ll end up spending more money than you would if you just paid $99 up front, because that breaks down to $8.25 per month.

The first phones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor may have just started shipping, but it looks like a new Snapdragon 830 chip is on the way. And while it’s likely we’ll see plenty of Android smartphones featuring the next-gen chip in 2017, it looks like we may also see Snapdragon 830-powered Windows 10 phones.
A Microsoft support page notes that Windows 10 Mobile will work on a range of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, including the MSM8998 chip… which Qualcomm hasn’t actually announced yet.

You can often find hints about upcoming Chromebooks and other Chrome OS devices by scanning the Chromium OS source code commits and discussions. And a few weeks ago we started to see hints that a new model with 16GB of RAM and an Intel Skylake processor was on the way.
Maybe it’s not surprising that a lot of people assumed it would be a next-gen Google Chromebook Pixel, since Google is one of the few companies that offers Chromebooks with high-end specs.

Google recently launched the second developer preview of Android N with support for the Vulcan graphics API, Unicode 9 emoji (with options for emoji that look like people rather than little yellow blobs), and launcher shortcuts.
But there are also a number of thing in Android N Developer Preview 2 that Google didn’t officially call attention to.
