Lumiappaday #40: Cell demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s an interesting game called Cell, where your job is to consume the other cells. It’s a little bit harder than chasing as each time you propel your cell, it loses mass. You can only eat other cells that have smaller mass than you otherwise they eat you. But eating other cells makes your cell [...]
Digitimes predicts 6.2% marketshare for Windows Phone in 2012. Symbian lumped in with “others” for 18.1%
Not exactly sure what the research is (sample size, demographic) but Digitimes has predicted that Windows Phone will grow to 6.2%, amassing 40 million shipments in 2012. That’s not even half of Symbian’s 100M plus sales from Nokia alone as Symbian can reach very, very low price points that we are still yet to see [...]

Remember that Nokia 801(T), a China specific Nokia variant that some commented on being a fake/China clone? Aikon 171 tipped that: Nokia 801T announced http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1339675058 But in the pictures and the specs they show a TV antenna. Whilst Nokia could put in a TV antenna, that’s something the China clones often do right? Unless Nokia [...]

Very simple to use, and straight forward to [...]
Mysterious 3-inch Buttons Free Nokia Device?
One of the goodies displayed alongside the Lumia 710 at T-Mobiles press release was this interesting looking 3-inch Buttons free screen, according to the source it’s running Windows Phone, the source described it as “a Pocket Tablet” which probably means it has no networking capabilities (WiFi Only). If this were real I’d be EXTREMELY tempted to say it’s Microsoft/Nokias [...]

This is Tesco’s [...]
