Lumiappaday #218: Toy Xylophone demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900

Advertisements Toy Xylophone is a children’s app that simulates, well, a toy xylophone. You’ve got a multicoloured one and a wooden one, both can take multitouch input of up to four points (though fitting four fingers at a time, even on the 4.3″ Lumia 900 is a task). There’s a mode to let the xylophone […]

Is it a good thing that it’s appearing on non Nokia phones? Yes and No. No in that it gave Nokia phones an added value. […]

A couple or so weeks ago, Michael posted news that Marketplace reached 100,000 apps. It was rumoured a long while back that when 100K is reached, that’s around when WP8 will be announced. Here’s MS video for that 100,000 apps. Note that they’re using a Nokia Lumia 800 but somehow manage to do face to […]
