  I’m trapped in a bittersweet mood at the moment. I am thrilled that the N9 has gotten PR 1.3, but I am upset that the Maemo team is finally leaving. In particular, Sotiris Makyrgiannis, the head of MeeGo developement. He has been around to assist in, and bring to the public, devices like the [...]

As Jay mentioned earlier Pr1.3 is currently rolling out as we speak; earlier today I updated my own N9 (I believe it’s a UK variant; could be Finland though) to 1.3 and had a quick spin on it, as we previously mentioned not much has changed in the UI of the OS; regardless here’s a [...]

I’d love for [...]

This feels a lot like the iOS vs. Jailbreak cat and mouse game. The N9 was just updated to PR 1.3, and one of the 1000 improvements was a bug fix that patched the hole exploited by Inception. Well, V 0.2 is out now, so those that were holding out to update in case their [...]

  Another Engadget Nokia Story (they’ve got a few blocked together yesterday it seems), this time to share that Nokia has 120,000 apps in the store, with 15 million downloads every day.

  As hoped by many of you out there, WP8 will have more consumer features than what we saw at WP8′s launch. That WP8 preview event was targeted towards developers, not consumers. It’s new features and hardware range certainly began filling in some long exposed gaps, but there was still much in the way that [...]

So the purpose of this video is actually more to share the gadget recording capability of the Nokia 808 PureView, rather than a review of the Nokia Lumia 900 itself, though that may also be useful to some too. The audio is apparently NOT from the 808, because Axel thought ‘the “stereo effect” was too [...]
