Weekend Watch: Jolla at Slush “The Impossible Story”

| November 22, 2014 | 7 Replies

Advertisements A quick tour of Jolla’s presence at Slush, branded by Marc Dillon as the world’s greatest technology conference. There, Jolla announced plans for their next product.

I’ve only ever noticed now though that their reddit alien seems to be giving a very bold middle finger. It’s supposed to be a thumbs up. Which looks like this (official one from […]

GSM Arena: Nokia Lumia 830 Review “Shinning Bright!”

GSM Arena was always one of the few places that was giving Nokia a fair chance in their reviews. You could sense the soft spot present for Nokia and you could feel this sadness in the reviews reflecting back on the news that Nokia smartphones were to be no more. In their Nokia Lumia 830 […]

The Jolla Tablet, currently being crowdfunded, with over USD$1 million pledged so far (and still 18 days to go), has added Australia and Canada as supported countries that they’ll now ship to!

Microsoft Lumia: Cortana vs Siri – Microsoft bashes iPhone as just having gotten bigger

| November 21, 2014 | 1 Reply

Another Siri vs Cortana promo. This time with the new iPhone 6 Plus commenting on the fact that the iPhone ‘just got bigger’. I did chuckle at the comment at the end from Cortana saying “it happens to everyone this time of year” (festive season, people putting on more weight). I do wish there was […]

 For those of us that missed Nokia’s keynote, here it is again. It thrills me to think that we’re seeing a Nokia consumer product/device launch keynote once more after all those speculations that it is now a thing of the past. We had mourned, reminisced and was getting over the losses. But they had not […]
