Advertisements You may have seen the rounds of a supposed Memo circulating internally at Nokia from new, Canadian CEO, Stephen Elop. Labelled Burning Platform, the sentiments of the memo echo the crisis Nokia faced which Elop sees MUST result in a change of behaviour from Nokia. Real or not, it is the honest truth about […]

Myriad Announces ‘Alien Dalvik’, Android Apps to Run on our Nokias

| February 8, 2011 | 57 Replies

Here’s something quite awesome if it works out as intended. Myriad Alien Dalvik apparently allows Non-Android phones to run Android Apps. I am not sure to what extent, but that makes a nice leveler if Nokia phones suddenly had access to all those extra Android apps on top of the 30,000 on Ovi Store right […]

Apologies for being late folks. Was in a couple of lectures and PBL sessions this morning as your wave of tips and comments came about the N8 firmware being available.

This breathtaking entry for N8Producers by Matjaz Klemencic is almost two weeks old, but I’ve only seen it after being tweeted by @JamesBurland (RT by @Nirave and @Jussipekka) Beautiful, powerful cloud timelapsing; really professional looking smooth, slow panning. There are some bits I’m thinking…hmm, this is too smooth. Is that background green screened? Very nice! […]

Looks like the nice folks at Engadget have managed to get their hands on a photo or two of the upcoming E6. While the specs are already well known, the exact look of the device was kept a well guarded secret. While I can’t say I’m particularly fond of the current look I suppose the […]

Aren’t you loving all the speculations around Nokia recently? Some are quire wild, citing only their namless “trusted sources” to back up their whimsical suspicions of dropping either Symbian or MeeGo. @Texrat said in reply to my rant: “Nokia just listed new job “Senior Software Program Manager, MeeGo” on Feb 4. Doubt it’s being abandoned. […]
