Ali posted earlier about Joe Belfiore stating the “other” storage bug getting a fix soon. It appears that isn’t all we got out of him. Apparently Skype will be getting integrated into the People Hub. @ammarmalik1 Skype integration in people hub is on way… Requires a Skype update, and no I can’t say when that’s […]

| February 27, 2013 | 9 Replies

So if you follow the fads on the internet, you would have heard of Harlem Shake. Basically its a song, and people have posted youtube videos doing stupid dances to it. Nokia (well at least the Nokia Music office in Bristol), has joined in on the latest sensation. I’m so proud to say I work […]

Nokia Lumia 900 featured in “Olympus Has Fallen” trailer

| February 27, 2013 | 5 Replies

My dad showed me trailer for a new movie coming out next month, called “Olympus Has Fallen”. It looks really good! Anyway, about two minutes in, my Nokia “fanboy” eye caught a glimpse of a glossy white phone. I paused it and guess what? It was a Nokia Lumia 900 (not the 920 as it […]

Windows Phone hits 130,000 apps ( + Nokia opens APIs to devs)

| February 25, 2013 | 48 Replies

Stephen Elop released that the Windows Phone store has reached 130,00 apps. It’s good to occasionally get these numbers, even if it is just to reassure devs and users that Windows Phone is a viable platform, and the “app” card can’t really be used as a deciding factor to not go with WP. While on […]

Nokia Wireless Charging Car Holder (CR-200) announced at #MWC13

| February 25, 2013 | 8 Replies

The final (if I haven’t forgotten anything) product/service announced by Nokia at today’s MWC keynote, was a car holder with Wireless Charging and NFC. Like the Wireless Charging Stand, the NFC is used to launch a pre-defined application. Being a car accessory, it make sense to be HERE Drive, or just as easily Nokia Music. […]

Elop so excited; mixes up device names :p

| February 25, 2013 | 25 Replies

Just on a rather light hearted note, it seems that Stephen Elop (@Selop) has tweeted about the latest devices Nokia has brought to market, and made a slight mix up. Its comforting that even someone in his position (if he tweets from it ) can make mistakes. (See, he really is human!)   Proud to […]
