The folks in Redmond continue the push to get their products on major mobile platforms, software that will now include Cortana. This is Microsoft's version of Siri that is operated by voice and provides information and does things for the user.
Cortana shares similarities with Apple's Siri and it will be interesting to have them both to compare on the iPhone.
Malware that can kill iPhones with a single text message has been reported. Hackers can send a particular message in Arabic that will crash the Messages app upon receipt.
The message will reboot an iPhone if it appears on the lock screen. Apple is working on a fix.
The folks in Cupertino will reportedly release an SDK for the Apple Watch at the upcoming WWDC. The SDK will enable developers to write native apps for the watch.
The dev tools will allow apps to be written that directly access the sensors in the Apple Watch. Most apps for the watch are currently being ported from their iOS versions. This SDK will allow writing native apps for the watch from scratch.
