Gallery: Nokia N8 by Nokia N8: White Background Macro Photography (and using Photo Editor's Highlights and Shadows)
Prior to the Nokia N8 I relied on the N82 for product shots. Yes, I could have used a digicam but I just like the simplicity of sending a bunch of photos over bluetooth. No looking for wires, removing any memory cards, just click and send. Anyway, I was checking out the N8 to see [...]
Video: Classic Snake II on the Nokia N8 (for Symbian^3 and S60 5th) at Ovi Store
The World’s most popular phone game SNAKE is available for download at the Ovi Store. This isn’t an official Nokia one but it sure as heck is a lot of fun, especially as it looks like the original 3310 version, complete with the pixelated snake and green-tone black and white LCD. I’ve only tried on [...]
Video: Nokia N8 with iPhone OS – China Clone
We’ve seen the Android Nokia N8 China clone. Now check out iOS Nokia N8. Of course that’s neither iOS or the Nokia N8 but rip off versions. Oddly, the face of the N8 has TWO buttons which was seen in an extremely early proto N8 version. What’s left? Just WebOS and WP7. No one cares [...]

Future of Ovi Maps with PixelActive's 3D expertise?
A couple of days ago, NAVTEQ (subsidiary of Nokia) bought PixelActive who specialize in the creation of 3D buildings, roads, highways and cities. They have a city builder tool that you can use to create your own city (or recreate a real one). Alex68 (cheers for the heads up) says that the PixelActive video has [...]
Plasma UI for tablets on the Lenovo Ideapad
Want to get any idea of the cool ideas that devs are coming up with for MeeGo tablet UI’s? Look no further. Notmart.org has posted a video of some of their running on the Lenovo Ideapad. Looks pretty cool no. Looks to me like we can expect some big things from MeeGo in the coming [...]
Video: Nokia C6-01 Unboxing and Hands on
Here’s an unboxing and hands on video with the CBD Nokia C6-01. All the usual stuff with the box contents. Ear phones are just that – the standard Nokia ones (not the slightly nicer in-ear ones – though that’s a personal preference). Seems that despite those remarkably long nails the C6 is still quite easy [...]

At the MeeGo conference this week (15-17th November) a winner was selected to get the MeeGo powered touch netbook hybrid – Lenovo’s IdeaPad. The name? “EVERYONE”.

Video: Air Hockey Game demoed on Nokia N8 for S^3 and 5th Ed Free at Ovi Store
Air Hockey. You versus the phone as you try and score a goal with the virtual air lifted puck. First to 5 wins and each round goes to a higher level with slightly harder opponents. It’s really enjoyable (I love Air Hockey at arcades!) and great for those short distractions. It’s well worth a download. [...]

Cooler touch screen than the iPad or iPhone? Nokia Research Lab and the world's first Ice Touch Screen
So we’ve seen how Nokia can turn any screen into a touch screen. What about something that’s not even a screen to begin with – what about a block of ice? That’s exactly what’s been occurring in Tampere, Finland at Nokia’s Research Lab. Check it out in the video from New Scientist (cheers dsmobile for [...]
Friday Awesomeness Video: Attack on Pearl Harbor Remade with the Nokia N8 and Miniature Models! (And behind the scenes with underwater shots) MUST WATCH
I don’t know the original source and don’t have the 720p HD version but you MUST watch this anyway. Miniature models, creative students and a Nokia N8 equals a brilliant remake of the attack on Pearl Harbor (possibly not from the Affleck-Hartnet-Beckinsale movie or is it?). At the second half of the video you can [...]
Video: What is MeeGo? MeeGo 1.1 Intro Movie (MeeGo netbook)
What is MeeGo? Here’s a video to answer (well at least for the netbook vanilla version). ShlomiTur Video cuts off where it’s supposed to say, “MeeGo, where you run the show”.
Video: The Free Nokia N8 moment at Nokia World 2010 by @WOMWorldNokia's @riccwebb (filmed by Nokia N8)
At Nokia World 2010, Pretty much EVERYONE except Jon Choo and I had a Nokia N8 (I exaggerate, but still, the numbers given away was incredible! Not just staff N8 or tester N8 but the iconic blue N8 boxes too). I wanted to get as much coverage of the devices after the main talks on [...]
Video: Nokia's Niklas Savander talks openly about Nokia N8 Quality issues and boot up problem.
Experienced a defective Nokia N8? Apparently this is a small number compared to what has been shipped but that’s not what’s important. The fact is some customers have ended up with a N8 that could be defective. And Niklas points that out, “For the individuals experiencing it – it is a significant issue”, and later, [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Connecting via Ethernet cable and USB-RJ45 adapter
Got no WiFi? Got no phone signal? That’s two things I haven’t got in my room this year . Could be happening to you if you’re in some random poor WiFi hotel room. Well that’s not going to stop the Nokia N900. Here it is connecting to the internet via an Ethernet Cable. Yeah, that [...]
