Microsoft’s Touch-Friendly Office May Launch on Android Before Windows

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hasn’t been leading the company very long, but he’s already put forward a very clear message: the new Microsoft wants its best apps and services on all platforms, and it’s not playing favorites. The launch of Office for iPad was clear evidence of that, and now it seems Microsoft is preparing to bring a touch-optimized version of its productivity suite to Android — “months” before it rolls out a Windows equivalent. ZDNet is reporting that the redesigned mobile Office will arrive on Android by the end of 2014. The Windows 8 “Metro” incarnation, by contrast, has apparently been pushed back to spring 2015 despite initial hopes it would arrive this year.

That’s great news for Android tablet owners, but it’s also…

A Crock-Pot Slow Cooker With Wi-Fi Smarts (Hands-on)

The $130 Linux-based Crock-Pot WeMo Smart Slow Cooker was unveiled at CES earlier this year, and will be available in stores soon. I got to spend some time with one this week and thought I’d share some early impressions ahead of the full review. Belkin and Jarden Home Brands’ app-controlled slow cooker struck me as an unlikely smart home contender at first. Slow cookers are about as low maintenance as possible, so how much value could WeMo integration add to something already so straightforward?

That depends on how much hands-on time you want with your slow cooker. This model takes what looks like a standard Crock-Pot-brand slow cooker, simplifies the physical layout, adds a subtle WeMo logo, and makes everything controllable on your Android or iOS device via the free WeMo app (the same one you use for your other WeMo devices). I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is the design that will finally make slow cookers seem sexy, but ditching those dated touch-pad buttons for something less cluttered is a clear improvement.
