The New York Times app allows you to read and watch videos from the NY Times. Some articles require a subscription so if you have one, then this app will come in quite handy. If you haven’t there are still plenty of free sections available. #217) New York Times  Price:  Free Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/557c4997-62a3-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q3ILjJcJsE Developer Blurb: [...]

Folks got pretty annoyed with the news this morning that the Nokia 808 PureView for USA would only have 2G speeds when on T-Mobile. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/19/nokconv-unique-nokia-808-pureview-coming-to-america/ That is no longer the case, and NokConv cites this was due to a typo. UPDATE: We incorrectly stated that the Nokia 808 PureView would only work with T-Mobile at [...]

  So, Microsoft went ahead and produced their own Windows 8 tablet. I’m not sure what to think of the tablet, other than a little uninspiring, but it’s early days yet. Some of the app demoes I briefly glanced at looked pretty nice though. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/19/microsoft-unveils-new-surface-tablet-line-running-windows-rt-win-8/ What was intriguing was the magnetic cover thing, similar in [...]
