Video: Nokia N8 vs Nokia N97 indoor video and zooming. Check out how much N8 has progressed.
I didn’t mean to do this comparison (Sorry for the mess on the wall) but on the early hours of the morning I was just checking video on N97 to run out its battery(to test out the Powermat wireless charger for review) and noticed that the N97 digital zoom and general video quality was sooo bad in comparison to [...]
Video: MeeGo Linpus Lite Tablet Edition
stevechippy / http://meegonews.com has got a demo video below of the MeeGo Linpus Lite Tablet Edition, showing a widget filled homescreen. Homepage swipe down goes into app menu to reveal left-right app-page scrolling. Now in another video below we’re told that apps will open slowly due to unoptimized HARDWARE. (Hence why music player looks unresponsive). [...]
Video: MeeGo In Vehicle Infotainment from ICS
MeeGo as you know isn’t just about smartphones and tablets but possibly anything that has a screen. A really useful application of MeeGo is in In Vehicle Infotainment (already being done by Red Flag in China). You can see that MeeGo IVI responds to the engine info so the entire dashboard could just be a [...]

Like yesterday you can watch most of the main keynotes at http://conference2010.meego.com/program/live-streaming One particular session I wanted to check out was at 4:30pm GMT where user experience (not device) Roadmap will be discussed.

Video: Nokia N8 Launch Party Nairobi Kenya in partnership with Capital FM (says N8 has CBD?)
Here’s a video showing the Nokia N8 launch party in Kenya. What’s great is that they’re trying to include a cheap internet bundle with the N8. Just this August, Mobile penetration in Kenya rose above 50% (51) from just around 30% at the end of 2007 (Population 40m). In contrast with Britain, there’s over 2 [...]
Nokia E7 Promo Video – Experience the New Nokia E7 – The Ultimate Business Smartphone
Here’s a promo video of the Nokia E7. She’s a fashion designer who’s supposedly out in nature and breaking free. That tilt-flip screen action though…awesome. And that incredible keyboard – Oh I wish all future Nokia QWERTY tilts will have that or better (hello N9!). I don’t get the part where the girl pauses to [...]
Intel rival AMD joins MeeGo Project!
Speaking of Open projects, AMD joins the Linux Foundation’s MeeGo Project. Why not, I mean we’ve got ARM chipsets too for MeeGo, despite Intel (MeeGo founders with Nokia) being AMD’s fiercest competitor. As said in the conference, innovation comes from collaboration NOT from one single man. Chris Schlaeger, Director of AMD Operating System is currently [...]
Video: Nokia India TV ad – Kiss and Slap.
Yes, the video is as odd as the title. It’s an add for an App called Kiss and Slap, demoed on the Nokia 5233. Here’s a fun ad for the ‘Kiss and Slap’ App for Nokia Touch Devices. Send Kisses or Slaps to your friends, right from your phone. This one of its kind fun [...]
Video: American Idol's David Archuleta talks Nokia N8 at Singapore Nokia N8 Conference.
David Archuleta (runner up in American Idol, though long time favourite somehow out done by the other dude that no one remembers) was at the N8 conference in Singapore to talk about his album and the Nokia N8. He says he doesn’t normally take a camera so it was good to have a really good [...]
Videos: Symbian^1 versus Symbian^3 – what has changed?
“Everybody says, that Symbian^3 hasn’t changed, but look for yourself!” I’m surprised no such detailed comparison has been done. Actually planned to do it myself this weekend but caught up on coursework (which I’m half doing as I write this). But jenjaman has done an excellent job and split it into a four round match [...]
Video: Nokia C6-01 Hands on Demo
The first CBD AMOLED phone on the market, Nokia C6-01 gets a quick hands on demo. However, it is in Russian, and demoed by the one and only Eldar. The C6-01 is an extremely worthy successor to the highly widespread Nokia 5800. Unlike the days of yore – well last year, there is no difference [...]

The FIRST ever MeeGo conference begins today in Dublin at 09:00GMT. (Well today if we’re ignoring the early bird sessions that happened during the weekend).

Nokia N8 in X-Factor winner Shayne Ward's Music Video – number 12 in this weeks UK chart[@Shanenetward]
Whilst listening to Radio 1 (great for background noise whilst studying) Regg says he’s talking to Shayne Ward. Who? He’s – former winner of X-factor who then disappeared came back with a Nickelback cover of “Gotta Be Somebody”. But that’s NOT what’s interesting. Look at the phone he uses in the beginning to take a [...]
Video: Nokia N8 Sequence Mode App in the works by Dr Iain Wallace :p
Sequence Mode – I’ve been enjoying this feature since my N95 but sadly this disappeared on S60 5th. Sure we had some what of an attempt at burst shot if your definition of burst is not even 1 frame per second. It was really more of an undefinable sequence mode as the original sequence mode [...]
Rant: The Nokia Social App – Please stay signed in! (And a bunch of other annoyances)
Before I begin my coursework I’ll let off some steam and rant about the social app. The Nokia Social App It really feels like a half baked offering when compared to something like gravity: Scrolling – why the hell is it so crap? You’ve got smooth scrolling in browser, photos, contacts, apps yet here it’s [...]
Video: Playing Super Mario and other NES games on the Nokia N8 (and other S^3)
Soon I’ll get around to not calling it S^3 and just Symbian like the Nokia folk…it’s difficult not to. Anyway, kumaranunay123 has a couple of videos for thenokian8blog.info where he gives us a tutorial on how to play those classic nintendo games on your N8. Since there’s no physical keys that old Flash keypad comes [...]

Topolino70 has produced some of the most stunning Nokia N8 videos we’ve seen thus far including: Among these include some really close up shots. But the N8 has an Active Hyper-Focal lens – i.e. no autofocus but everything beyond the macro region is in focus. In the video below, Topolino70 shares how he attaches his [...]
Nokia N8 vibrator motor used to lift 60KG Fridge
If you head on over to http://v.blog.sohu.com/u/vw/4905211 you’ll notice a video that shows a Nokia N8 lifting a 60KG weight. I have NO understanding of written or spoken Chinese (bar a few Mandarin phrases). Alex68 says: “Two Chinese students from Tsinghua University used an N8 to lift 60KG fridge. The power of N8 motor was [...]
