Advertisements We’ve had a lot of tips in today, apologies for not being able to get to them. I did read some of them but I’ve been stuck in practicals and lectures all day followed my more errands after getting back to post. I’m trying to get through them now, possibly for posting tomorrow (btw, […]

Samsung and Google trying to rain on Nokia World 2011 with identical launch event (+Nokia World video)

Just like last year with HTC and their oddly coincidental event in London, Samsung are trying to steal the spotlight from Nokia World by moving their event not just to identical date of the 27th October 2011, but they’ve also moved their location to London. They even have a promo that looks like it should […]

Nokia RM-803 passes FCC (comes with bluetooth headset?))

Nokia RM-803 passes FCC (comes with bluetooth headset?))

| October 7, 2011 | 15 Replies

 Something called the Nokia RM-803 seems to have passed FCC. No details other than the FCC ID. The tests indicate it sports a BP-3L battery. Now I haven’t been able to work out what that is, but it also appeared in the Nokia 603/RM 779’s FCC papers. Something else that’s odd is that it appears […]

Remember Project Meltemi – a new Linux based OS for Nokia, as indicated by the name (which follows the Maemo way of wind names). We had a tip that we didn’t get to post about as I wasn’t sure where it was going, but GSM Arena later covered saying it’s NOT Linux, with speculation that […]

Qt API mapping for iOS, Android and Windows phone developers – bring iPhone/iPad apps to Symbian/N9

With Nokia’s Ovi Store (now Nokia Store) reported to supposedly deliver 160% more downloads per app than Apple’s App Store (and possibly well over 9 million daily downloads now) it would be quite understandable why other developers may want a piece of this action. There’s certainly an audience there willing to buy great quality apps. […]
