Video: Windows 8 Tablets supporting Swipe Gestures

Advertisements It’s said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, in this case N9 developers (and WebOS developers to some extent) should feel extremely proud. Below is a video uploaded by our favorite long time Nokia fan Cambo showing windows 8 running on a tablet (not sure which, they all look so similar). What swipe effects there seems to be: Swiping from left to right […]

You may already be familiar with this application because it’s also at Nokia Store. Poynt of course is a location based service that, well, points you to places. This may be restaurants, businesses, events and movies. It’s like the extra features available in Nokia Maps for Symbian but as a separate app. (Does the same […]

Check out this awesome looking map app on the Nokia N9. This is CloudGPS v0.6.4. Very impressive stuff. Seems you can control it by accelerometer and touch. The maps looks very smooth and the bouncing icons that kind of slide in one after another. Amazing 🙂 What’s even more amazing is that this isn’t some […]

Apple Licensed iOS scrolling patent to Nokia?

Apple Licensed iOS scrolling patent to Nokia?

| December 4, 2011 | 36 Replies

    Remember back in summer when Apple had to fork over cash because the courts did find them having stolen the Antenna tech that Nokia has (and hence why the revamped, Nokia-avoiding iPhone external antenna was causing dropped calls). Well apart from giving Nokia money, they also apparently licensed out the iOS scrolling patent. […]

Do you know the name Dan Lyons? What about the Secret Diary of  Steve Jobs? Aka fake Steve Jobs. He kinda looks like Louis Theroux. In an article where Dan talks about the iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus S, he discusses in the last paragraph the Nokia Lumia 800. http://www.realdanlyons.com/blog/2011/12/02/are-these-the-two-best-phones-in-the-market-right-now/ Recently I had a Nokia […]

1 million Mobile Apps in the Marketplace; Windows Phone apps more profitable and gaining developer support at iPhone app expense?

1 million Mobile Apps in the Marketplace; Windows Phone apps more profitable and gaining developer support at iPhone app expense?

| December 4, 2011 | 24 Replies

Sacbee reports that the general marketplace of all apps is approaching 1 million. Actually it’s already passed 1 million because they’ve kindly forgotten Nokia’s offerings as usual. There’s 60,000 apps in Nokia Store (majority Symbian with duplicates/triplicates for variants, then S40, then MeeGo-Harmattan). There’s also about 1000 webOS apps? (That’s just a guess. I think […]

Nokia Lumia 800 for Sweden (import)

Nokia Lumia 800 for Sweden (import)

| December 4, 2011 | 11 Replies

  I don’t think the Nokia Lumia 800 is officially available in Sweden at the moment, but Sclero found this listing where you can get one early. Note, it’s imported. Hmm 5990 Swedish Krona is around 660 Euros? A little pricey if you want it early. http://www.netonnet.se/art/telefon/mobiltelefon/nya-mobiltelefoner/nokia-lumia800/164796.5567/   Cheers Sclero for the tip!
