I know. Some folks are likely starting to grow weary about hearing about the Priv by BlackBerry by now but honestly, that's a good thing. Why you ask? Well, because that means we're getting closer and closer to release each day. Tends to happen that way, the linear progression of time and all. We talk so much about a device until people start to get tired of hearing about it and then pow!

Just as we predicted there were two new Surface devices unveiled (Surface Book, Surface Pro 4), two new Lumia smartphones (Lumia 950 (http://www.windowscentral.com/lumia-950), Lumia 950 XL (http://www.windowscentral.com/lumia-950)), and the updated Band 2 (http://www.windowscentral.com/hands-on-microsoft-band-2). Lost in the mix was also the announcement of HoloLens Dev Kits being available early next year.</p> <p>Besides all of Microsoft's new their partner Dell continues to push their Sharp-powered InfinityEdge displays with an XPS 13 refresh to Skylake (http://www.windowscentral.com/hands-on-2015-dell-xps-13) and the new Dell XPS 15 (http://www.windowscentral.com/hands-on-dell-xps-15). The XPS 15 is fascinating because it has the footprint of a 14-inch laptop but with a 15-inch UHD 4K touch display. Needless to say, these new Windows 10 devices are very high-end and look great.</p> <p>Finally, we got our first look at Cortana on the new Xbox One experience (http://www.windowscentral.com/heres-our-quick-look-cortana-xbox-one-dashboard-preview)</p> <ul><li>Everything Microsoft announced in 5 minutes (http://www.windowscentral.com/everything-microsoft-announced-today-5-minutes)</li> <li>Everything we've learned about the Surface Book so far (http://www.windowscentral.com/everything-weve-learned-about-surface-book)</li> <li>Everything we know about the Surface Pro 4 (http://www.windowscentral.com/everything-we-know-about-surface-pro-4)</li> <li>A closer look at the Lumia 950 XL camera (http://www.windowscentral.com/lumia-950-xl-camera-closer-look)</li> <li>PC or Mac?

With Microsoft holding its Windows 10 event, we got to see updates to the Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL, Microsoft Band 2, the Surface Pro 4, and a whole new product from Microsoft in the new Surface Book laptop — is it a MacBook killer? (http://www.connectedly.com/microsoft-announces-macbook-killer) Dell announced updates to its XPS line of laptops including a 2-in-1 XPS 12 (http://www.connectedly.com/dell-announces-more-competition-ipad-pro) that gives Windows users another great hybrid option. We also showed you how to make it through the day with your cellphone battery (http://www.connectedly.com/five-ways-to-extend-your-phones-battery-life). In honor of Instagram's 5th Birthday, we looked at its 10 most-followed accounts (http://www.connectedly.com/the-top-10-most-followed-instagram-accounts), plus so much more on the site that keeps you connected.</p> <ul><li>Will the Beats Pill+ Bluetooth Speaker blow away the competition (http://www.connectedly.com/will-beats-pill-bluetooth-speaker-blow-away-competition)</li> <li>This fridge will notify you when you're running low on beer (http://www.connectedly.com/hands-bud-e-fridge)</li> <li>This 53-megapixel camera might be the best point and shoot ever (http://www.connectedly.com/53-megapixel-camera-might-be-best-point-and-shoot-camera-ever-made)</li> </ul><div><style> <!--/*--><![CDATA[/* ><!--*/ .closeup-img {display: none;} /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
