Radio Shack takes larger cut from Apple iPhone 5 price tag

Radio Shack is widening its discount for the Apple iPhone 5 and the Apple iPhone 4S. From now through December 17th, the electronics retailer is offering a $50 discount on all carrier versions and storage capacities. For every $50 spent at the store, the customer will also receive a $10 email coupon. The discount applies to in-store purchases of the handset, so you will need to visit your local Radio Shack store to take advantage of this deal.

Earlier this month, Radio Shack had a more limited sale which took $20 off the price of the Sprint and AT&T branded Apple iPhone 5. But Best Buy announced that it was chopping $50 off the price of both the Apple iPhone 5 and Apple iPhone 4S on Monday, requiring Radio Shack to meet the big box retailer on price to stay competitive.

FM Radio support coming to Windows Phone 8 via software update?

WP8 is getting better day by day. The portico update that just has started seeding brought some minor bug fixes and little enhancements in usability, eliminated the random restart bug. Apollo+ will be, as it seems a 'major' update. I guess FM radio, BT4.0, notification center are on their way.

In addition to this the developers and nokia are adding useful apps everyday. VLC is coming to wp, whatsapp is also coming. WP8 has brought memory extension support, multicore, native code, directx. Social network integration is top notch. OS works flawlessly.

I see WP8 as a successful OS in very near future.

PS: WP haters don't start badmouthing. Go throw tomatoes on MS headquarters in Redmond if you hate that much. And USE YOUR HEADS.
