Microsoft & Nokia

Microsoft is expected to make its big comeback at the exhibition too, hand in hand with Nokia. The world is waiting for it to unveil its Tango and Apollo operating systems for Windows Phone devices, offering LTE speeds on dual-core handsets.

Since this is Microsoft’s last appearance at the show as its key note speaker, it'll no doubt unveil something big. The smart money is on a preview of Windows Phone Apollo and all the cool stuff it will entail. 

Expect big things.
