Leaked image and specs of Nokia Sirius Windows RT tablet

Looks like we might be getting a Nokia Windows tablet in the very near future. The Verge revealed leaked image and specs of a 10.1-inch Nokia Windows RT tablet that is supposedly going to look like Nokia’s Lumia Windows Phone devices.

Codenamed Sirius, it’s going to be thinner than the latest iPad and weigh just over a pound. It will have a 6-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front cam, 1920 x 1080 resolution, memory expansion via microSD, and is said to run on Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB RAM. Nokia wants it to have a 10 hour battery life and LTE connectivity. The tablet is set to be unveiled on September 26 at an event in New York.

Google updates Search with synonyms and translation

Google made a quick announcement on its Google+ page about a new update for finding definitions using Search.

Both features are available on desktop and mobile versions.
