Cool music video shot on the Nokia Lumia 1020

Cool music video shot on the Nokia Lumia 1020

| September 23, 2014 | 1 Reply

Advertisements Conversations have highlighted this music video. It looks pretty good. I advocate the use of additional stabilisation as they make things look much more professional. Even though the OIS in Nokia’s are awesome at slow panning or staying still, with stabilisation (via tripod/steadicam, as with filmakers that use DSLRs) they look even more awesome […]

Since the iPhone launch, the image above had appeared multiple times on my facebook feed from friends that aren’t from the blogosphere. It’s pretty cool that they decided to have Nokia amongst the mix (also no LG G3 that had that insane high res screen long before others, much more than iPhone. Maybe due to […]

TheVerge: ‘Nokia saw the future, but couldn’t build it” – Symbian stopped Nokia reaching Apple/Google’s success?

Another ‘look back’ article reminiscing Nokia’s yester-years. Nokia always had vision, it always had potential to be the best. But for one reason or another, they failed on execution.

  Check this out, it’s a disassembly of the latest Lumia, the Nokia Lumia 830. This looks to be an official tear down instructional video from Microsoft Care Academy (similar to previous Nokia versions). All this shows is disassembly, not how to repair the device. Don’t try this at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObNfMu0en1   Cheers adriano for the […]

Here’s a super cute video of cats and Nokia Lumias, and cats using Nokia Lumia. My cat loves Lumia too and he was (unintentionally) in our 930 unboxing (and seemed to be the only thing noticed in comments).

An interesting way to use HERE – using traffic data to know more about the audience for particular billboards. It can recognise patterns and trends which can used to target advertising. This way, advertisers can choose which billboards are best for choosing their ad space. heremaps

  According to a screenshot taken from the Oculus keynote yesterday, in terms of mobile platforms, the native app support includes windowsphone. Oculus is the Virtual Reality headset company that Facebook bought for 2 billion dollars. Not much now considering what MS just paid for Minecraft (though that’s another thing altogether and the value for […]
