Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word – separate updated apps soon?

| June 5, 2014 | 2 Replies

Advertisements     Viipottaja and Arsalan noticed than in Nokia’s 1520 tile video, in the app list, you could see both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as separate apps. Could they be coming with an improved version in an update? Viipottaja even mused as to whether it might be the full suite. At the moment, […]

Brad Molen from Engadget takes an in depth look at Cortana, Microsoft’s Voice Assistant for Windows Phone that seeks to be almost human. http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/04/cortana-microsoft-windows-phone/ Microsoft found that people are more likely to interact with something if it feels more human (also if it can actually do what you expect it to do). To personify something like […]

Nokia Lumia 1520 – What story will yours tell? – Tile Fun

Nokia Lumia 1520 – What story will yours tell? – Tile Fun

| June 4, 2014 | 3 Replies

This video shows the tiles on the homescreen having a bit of fun with each other. At the start, it does indicate that these screens are simulated (remember the ruckus after Nokia left this out in their first OIS demo despite the OIS actually being awesome?). What I don’t like is that the sequence of […]

Check out this video unboxing of that custom built Nokia Lumia 1020 underwater housing! This isn’t simply about putting the 1020 in a pool but diving into quite some depths that would otherwise break smartphones without a special external housing. It’s a beefy unit indeed, almost looking like a DSLR sans lens. There are mounts […]

Video: Qualcomm Snapdragon at the Heart of Nokia XL

| June 3, 2014 | 1 Reply

This video is going around the different Nokia channels on Youtube. It features an old Qualcomm video but it’s attached to the Nokia XL. The intro video bit attempts to be something epic, and it does look that way. I guess that whilst a lot of smartphones use Snapdragon, it’s good to point out the […]

Nokia Lumia 1020 in Journal of Histopathology as 41MP photomicroscope

| June 2, 2014 | 5 Replies

A scientific paper has been published which features the Nokia Lumia 1020. John P Graff and Mark Li-cheng Wu used the Nokia Lumia 1020 as a 41MP photomicroscope. They picked the 1020 due to the huge megapixel count as well as having optical image stabilisation. This kind of set up means high quality but having […]
