This a brilliant game that’s fun to play on your own or with others. If you’ve ever played bop-it, it’s kinda like that. The phone tells you specific movements to do and using the accelerometer to detect that movement, if you do it correctly you proceed to the next instruction. e.g. LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, [...]
Nokia Conversations has elaborated on yesterday’s announcements following much questions and speculations on Symbian Belle/Nokia Belle. It’s great to hear these prompt responses, thanks for communicating back Nokia (though if a little politician like). http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/12/22/nokia-belle-your-questions-answered/ 1) On the name change: We are still using Symbian Belle with some audiences like developers but now we [...]
I thought this might be revival of Nokia bubbles but no. Not quite. This is part of the Amazing Everyday campaign and Nokia Frane has put together the Amazing Experience. It’s on Episode 2 already with mini teasers. I don’t quite understand what’s going on. Well you don’t need to. It’s just about spicing [...]
Do no evil…(in public) that’s the Google way right? Appear all fuzzy and underdog like yet be the exact opposite. I like google services, I use a lot of them. I use plenty of services from different providers, and in 2011 we’d expect them all to play nicely with each other. Today we hear [...]
I’ve had the old Nokia Ovi Suite on my PC for a while. I thought it had already done this but apparently not. Anyway, today though Ovi Suite asked to be updated and it now no longer exists on my computer as it is now Nokia Suite. It looks great, very phone friendly, simple [...]
Someone tipped us a few weeks ago saying Nokia Pulse was coming to the N9, showing threads replied to by Nokia peeps indicating that availability would be in days. I didn’t get to post that due to my schedule but true to form, Nokia Pulse can now be downloaded to the Nokia N9. Here’s the [...]
According to distimo, Nokia Store (previously Ovi Store) has over 100,000 applications. 116,583 to be precise. Well done Nokia Store. Are those official numbers? http://www.distimo.com/appstores/app-store/21-Nokia_Ovi_Store I thought back in October there was 60,000? (50K in July) How did that double in two months? Are they counting content that isn’t apps (music? Trailers? Same version of apps [...]
Nokia N9 doesn’t do widgets. It takes on a different usability set of menu, multitasking and notifications. But it seems folks are still wanting Widgets and have done exactly that. Well, it’s apparently an app so not exactly a streamlined integrated solution, but perhaps better than nothing and good to illustrate the concept. It [...]
Yesterday the discussion was mostly about Nokia’s delivery times for updates. Now let’s look at that oh so subtle change of the legend of a name that was Symbian – the first to bring smartphone to the masses which now has been quietly dropped in line for the Nokia brand, Nokia Belle. It’s been almost [...]
Nokia hasn’t had a big presence at CES since what, 2007? Next year they’re supposed to mark a return (well to both CES and MWC). A big player who’s always there annually is Microsoft. Whilst both are expected to share big news at CES, it will apparently be Microsoft’s last CES Keynote. They’ll still be [...]
Nuance, the folks who bought Swype in October and also are behind what makes Siri works has gone and bought Vlingo – the voice control application folks have been enjoying on Symbian for a long time (as well as BlackBerry and Android). I remember how cool it was the first time using it. It wasn’t [...]
Yesterday we got wind finally of some definite official dates for Belle on the pre Belle devices. That’s February 2012. Due to the updates being complex, in several countries, in various languages, in various networks, it takes time to roll out each variant. That’s why Anna is still not on all devices (it’s on most [...]
