WP8 UI concepts: folders, 3/4 length tiles, menu notifications…

| April 5, 2013 | 23 Replies

Advertisements   Some interesting concepts suggested by jonathonpm on TheVerge forums. http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/4/4183980/a-few-small-features-i-would-like-to-see-in-windows-phone-mock-ups 3X2 or 3/4 length tile. Big enough to have extra information but still having space for a couple of tiles   Folders. One tile that expands other tiles outwards. A little bit like the Grid10 phone (oh dear – saying Oh Dear more because of […]

Stunning in Yellow: Chevy Camaro by Nokia Lumia 920 #Black&Yellow

What a beautiful car and very beautiful picture. I wasn’t sure it was actually a photo, as did many readers on Reddit who thought it might be an in-game screenshot. You know how much I love things in Yellow (with hints of black). Popularised in transformers as BumbleBee http://i.imgur.com/ItaQOsc.jpg Via: Reddit Nice. I wouldn’t mind this […]

Lumiapps: Amazing Alex also available for WP7

| April 5, 2013 | 5 Replies

Amazing Alex which was just released for WP8 is now also available for WP7. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/amazing-alex/55c200d2-49b2-4019-9168-b9648094c79f?signin=true Although I’m on WP8 now, it still annoys me that WP7 users are getting left out in some of the app activities for WP (Even those that are on WP8 have to content with the whole 1GB RAM issue). It’ll […]

24 Tonne Caterpillar vs Nokia Lumia 920; What do we say to the God of Death, Nokia? Not today.

  Found half a meter underground, a Nokia Lumia 920 was run over and buried by a 24-tonne Caterpillar. http://www.iltasanomat.fi/digi/art-1288553981742.html   The screen is shattered but it supposedly still works.   This isn’t the first time they’ve found a Nokia resisting the call of Death. A Nokia N66 survived being crushed by 13 tonnes of […]

BGR takes a pop at Wired: Outrage at the rewriting of Mobile History

| April 5, 2013 | 50 Replies

  Hey, I just noticed a picture of me (or at least a reflection) on a BGR article from last June. Anyway, with that aside, there’s quite a thought provoking article from  Tero Kuittinen at BGR who is outraged at the way the history of mobile phones has been rewritten by ‘many Americans’. http://bgr.com/2013/04/04/american-mobile-phone-history-revision-criticism-412820/ It seems to […]

  we have been asked to remove images of the Nokia Tablet.     It’s usually quite easy to dismiss random pictures on the web claiming things are Nokia tablets but this one was linked by evleaks. It heads over to a page that’s meant to be a Nokia Adidas app for a Nokia tablet. […]

I just posted about the Nokia Music+ app coming to Windows 8, and I’ve recorded a quick look at the app. I apologise for the video quality, as I had to resort to using my Lumia 820 instead of my EOS 600D as it was misbehaving. http://youtu.be/O7IxU80aOXE Let me know if you have any questions […]

Nokia Music+ released for Windows 8

| April 5, 2013 | 39 Replies

Nokia seem to have released the Nokia Music+ app for Windows 8 (and Windows RT) today. It is essentially the WP8 app, but translated to Windows 8 UI the way I think WP apps should be. To use this app, you need to have a Nokia Account with Nokia Music+ subscription, otherwise you’ll have limited […]
