Emperion Nebulus ARM-based Windows 10 device that can run Android apps teased

Emperion, a company based in UK has teased a device, in a tweet, that has the form factor of a phone and is apparently running Windows 10 on an ARM based processor. The device is called Nebulus and will have the capability to run Android apps without an emulator. Emperion has not revealed much in the tweet except for showing an image of the device itself. Sources from Windows Central have managed to get more information, confirming that the device is powered by an overclocked version of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip. It will have a headphone jack, come with carrier unlocked and will have expandable storage up to 2TB via MicroSD. The device will be able to switch to desktop mode quickly via wireless or its USB-C port, similar to Continuum. While the phone will have a SIM card slot, the phone is unlikely to support phone calls as Windows 10 on ARM does not have native telephony abilities. Emperion will likely use Skype and LTE for calls and messages. Another interesting feature that Emperion confirmed is the ability to run Android apps without using emulators. At the moment, Android apps can run on Windows on emulators like Blue Stacks, etc. ...

Apple’s iPhone SE 2 shipments may get delayed further as Coronavirus hits supply chain

The Coronavirus outbreak continues to cause supply issues for technology companies as Apple's next low-cost iPhone supply is likely more delayed. Apple originally planned to start mass-production of the devices in February but now it has been delayed well into late March. Apple was reportedly planning to hold a press media event for the launch of the iPhone SE 2, with the phone likely to go on sale from later that week on April 3rd. However, the outbreak of the Coronavirus is still affecting supply chains as production struggles to meet the orders and demands. Apple had initially instructed suppliers to manufacture nearly 80 million iPhones, of which 15 million devices would be the cheaper iPhone. However, with supplier chains currently working at around 30% to 50% capacity, it is highly unlikely Apple will be able to achieve its target. Suppliers are facing multiple issues like labor shortages to logistics transportation. The uncertainty in whether the Coronavirus is under control or not is putting another wrench in Apple's forecast for the first quarter of the year. Apple is lowering its revenue forecast for the quarter to better reflect the reduction in supply and it is hoping that the supply delay will not affect ...

Mozilla launches VPN service in beta for Android, Windows 10 and more
