6000mAh, super fast, Microsoft branded ‘Nokia D&S’ portable chargers.

Advertisements I love Nokia’s portable chargers. I’ve got the DC-16 and DC-19 – completely loving the latter as it’s compact, yet has enough juice to charge my Nokia Lumia 1520 from pretty much almost dead (3200mAh) and real quickly too! New on the block is the “Microsoft Portable Power”. Similar in size but packing 6000mAh! […]

Video: The most beautifully shot Nokia Lumia review – 930, and comparisons with 1520

What a stunning review. It looks like a professionally done BBC documentary. Mattias Burling makes an interesting comment that praises the 920 (yes 920) as the greatest smartphone to be released since the iPhone 3G. It’s true in a way and both 930 and 1520 have refined on those initial innovations. The 930 is said […]

Jolla update 9 – not coming today but “v. soon”.

Jolla tweeted in reply to a user asking about the next update that #9 is coming out “v. soon”. Ah, the fabled “soon”, a word that thanks to Symbian Anna/Belle resorted to a distrust in anything actually appearing shortly. But Jolla has been quite timely in their updates so fingers crossed.

I can only describe them as being able to simply create experiences like those new sites adopting the single scroll down feature (e.g. check out Jolla/Tesla’s site or this one). LOL at the awkward screen […]

Joe Belfiore, VP of Windows, demoes Windows 10 Tech Preview (for the desktop). Like the developer preview on WP, this is more for tech enthusiasts who essentially don’t mind being ‘beta testers’ and provide feedback for unfinished software. You’ll get plenty of updates whilst MS continue to improve W10. I’m not gonna be updating my […]
