So, the #N9Seconds Comptition is still stumping all of us. The 13th solution was only found after Nokia released a clue yesterday morning on twitter (9AM BST).

So Nokia Canada has put up a new video for the Nokia X7. We’ve got this guy going about his day, sorting our his house warming with the X7. Why is the homescreen demo part laggy? The advert is getting better – more phone in view rather than random artsy-fartsy stuff. It’s part of the [...]

Nokia Maps was the original name of [...]

When the Nokia N900 arrived (back in 2009) it was the hackers dream. Post after post after post of cool stuff devs were doing with the N900. Amazing stuff. Even late on in 2010 it persisted bringing intriguing things to show. As we’ve seen in the past two years, everyone’s been trying to load every other OS [...]
