Spotify linked with Apple TV and Siri (finally!)

A new port here, a battery improvement there, a software feature on top. It’s not a massive change over Fire HD 10 Tablets that have preceded it, but nevertheless 2019’s slate is looking better than any Amazon has put out before. The big update is Siri controls for Spotify. The catch? You'll need to specify that you want to play the track "with Spotify" or else Siri will (of course) default to playing either from the library on your device or Apple Music. The Siri controls are available across the Apple product family: iPhone, iPad, Carplay, AirPods, and HomePod via AirPlay. There's also now a Spotify App for Apple TV users. And, in an extra little perk, Spotify will default to "Data Saver" mode if you have your device's Low Data mode turned on.


Micrsoft ‘teases’ at dual screen tablet

Microsoft closed its big hardware event by unveiling the Surface Neo, a long-rumoured foldable tablet. The book-sized tablet features two separate Gorilla Glass screens. Each side is 5.6mm thick, featuring the "thinnest LCD that's ever been created." The Surface Neo also features a magnetic Bluetooth keyboard and stylus that both charge wirelessly. A 360-degree hinge enables a number of different combinations. The Neo can function as a tablet or laptop, but is even easier to carry than the Surface. The Surface Neo boasts a new version of Windows 10X, designed specifically for dual-screen devices. One of the new options includes "spanning," which enables the user to either keep an app on just one of the two screens or "span" it across both screens.
