For fans of the Newton email app, this week brought some good news.  The service was closed last year and but was bought out by mobile phone company Essential and came back alive and kicking this week (February 5). If you were a user of Newton and your annual subscription was still live at the time of closure, you can sign in and this will continue until it elapses. Because of the gap between the service closing and relaunching, this will be keeping the support team pretty busy, so bear with them and exercise some patience.

Over the years I have looked at many apps for my Android devices and it has not been unusual for me to have multiple apps for the same purpose. Don’t ask me why, I cannot think of a logical reason for this.

Eventually, a beta version leaked my way and I was a little underwhelmed, to say the least. However, the fully fledged Windows 10 version is now available and I must confess it is a totally different beast to the early betas.

I suppose we should have seen it coming. As soon as Microsoft announced it had bought Wunderlist, the small German list and task manager, the writing was on the wall.  This has, of course, happened before. Microsoft bought Sunrise, one of the most highly rated calendar apps, merged it into the appalling Outlook mobile app, and shut down the standalone version.  Now Wunderlist is going the same way and has been reincarnated as Microsoft To Do.
