Siri vs Cortana – a better commercial, Groundhog day “Cortana remembers”.

Siri vs Cortana – a better commercial, Groundhog day “Cortana remembers”.

| September 9, 2014 | 2 Replies

Advertisements I wasn’t a fan of these previous Siri bashing commercials but this one is done much better. It shows how Cortana learns from you and gets better the more you use ‘her services’. I like how Cortana sounds very human, whilst Siri is very robotic but that kinda misrepresents the parts of Cortana that […]

Philippines’ Cherry Mobile gets better specs than Lumia for less in New WP devices? Alcatel also with new WP phone

| September 9, 2014 | 2 Replies

The number of WP OEMs keeps growing. Cherry Mobile from the Philippines is rocking out a couple of new handsets with WP. At 3000PHP, the ‘STYLE’ encroaches on the super entry level Lumia territory (69USD/42GBP) . For not much more at 5000PHP (114USD/71GBP) there’s quite a respectable 5″ HD screen, 8MP, 1.2GHz quadcore, with a […]

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is a mobile photography enthusiast’s main weapon of choice. It’s portable, great smartphone whilst at the same time being able to capture super high quality images. However, there may be times when folks would want to venture further and expand on the capabilities. Folks have done this in the past (e.g. […]

Lumia Denim and Lumia Camera for Nokia Lumia 1020

Lumia Denim and Lumia Camera for Nokia Lumia 1020

| September 8, 2014 | 27 Replies

Widely accepted and regarded as the best camera phone, and only launched last summer, it’s a shame to hear that due to processor constraints, Lumia Denim won’t be making the splash you’d expect on the camera centric 1020. What were we expecting? Faster start up, faster shot to shot, a burst mode (via video) where […]

Microsoft Anti-Siri Cortana campaign “Group Therapy”

| September 8, 2014 | Reply

So on the weekend there were some teasers. Here’s the full video. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the need in poking the bear. I love Cortana, but it’s not yet “so good” that it can make fun of Siri. Then again, perhaps it doesn’t need to be. The concept […]

Pelican PiCam, for slimmer high performance cameras.

| September 8, 2014 | 8 Replies

  I guess this goes as part 3 of our quest of high quality cameras against the challenge of slim, bump reduced/free phones.

Oddly at a similar time to a comment by Rob Beijendorf which mentioned Pelican’s slimmer modules. Nokia prior to the DS buyout […]
