One more test with Steve Litchfield, this time for AAWP, testing the video of the Nokia Lumia 1020 on its own.

Reports from IDC show that Windows Phone’s shipments have increased 77.6% since last year. TheVerge notes that whilst WP’s lead over BlackBerry isn’t huge, WP and BB are clearly going in “different directions”, with WP on the incline.
