Browse all the products and highlights from Samsung's January 2021 Unpacked event.
Windows 8.1 has rolled out, and the operating system is better than ever. Apps make any platform shine and while there aren't as many Windows 8 apps as there are on other platforms there are some pretty good ones.
Move over Android, Windows 8 now has widgets, sort of, thanks to the HD Widgets app. This app has a full screen with a selectable wallpaper and an assortment of common widgets to put on it.
The widgets include a clock app that looks a lot like that on Android widgets, a weather app, news reader, and a calculator, among others.
The developer has committed to keep adding more widgets and wallpaper for those who purchase the Pro edition.
Note that this app doesn't handle screen rotation well. It works better to set it up in the orientation you use mose frequently and not use it in the others.
Free ($2.49 to go Pro) in the Microsoft Store
