Advertisements Windows had accessibility features for as long as I can remember, and just in case you didn’t remember how good they’ve been at it, Microsoft saw it fit to feature their technological achievements that help people in their latest Super Bowl commercial. Windows Phone is no different, and through its Ease of Access setting it offered the ability to change text size, switching to […]
Lumia smartphones are popping up everywhere, not only in TV shows, movies and even games like GTA 5, people are starting to have a general idea about what Lumia smartphones are, specially in the camera department. The above picture was taken in the Vatican which should come to no one’s surprise as Italy is a very important market for […]
A little history as per usual. When Nokia introduced the Nokia N9 it came with universal search and while it probably was introduced on previous models or competing products, it neatly offered “Settings” as part of the search results and even better, you didn’t need to remember the setting name, you could’ve entered “pair” and you’ll be presented with the Bluetooth settings.

Nokia’s relationship with its fans is unique to say the least, they’re very honest and open about their products, they allow nay they encourage their employees to reach out to their customers via social media, and so we know so much stuff about the making of smartphones in comparison to any other fan base who are mostly obsessed with vague brandings. Microsoft on […]
A prominent feature in the latest Nokia  Imaging SDK 1.1  is called Interactive Foreground Segmentation Chromakey, its an API that a developer can use in the camera view finder to let his users pick a single color and have it replaced with a picture even before the end user takes the shot, which means the user can adjust the framing of the background […]
Earlier today Nokia announced its latest imaging SDK 1.1 with Windows 8.1 support which means apps can target two platforms with a single code so the Lumia 2520 gets on the imaging action too, also the SDK is indifferent to CPU structure (ARM,86x) which means developing an imaging app based off it for Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Windows RT will […]
I was playing some Modern Combat 4 in multiplayer mode (which is awesome) on my Lumia 1520 when I received an update notification, naturally I got excited as my phone is developer mode activated and I thought it was the Blue update, but it wasn’t its was a Nokia FW update. What changed? sadly no change log […]
Nokia had an experimental app back in the days of the Nokia N8 called Wellness Diary it was an excellent step counter with food intake logging and general health advice. Nokia switched to Windows Phone and soon there after the Wellness Diary beta got closed with no option to keep the app running. This is […]
It was almost three years ago Nokia announced the Nokia N9, it was the first smartphone to come without physical or capacitive buttons, it was a financially sound decision where making smartphones without hardware or capacitive buttons will be way cheaper and easier to do. Naturally Android soon followed suit with the Galaxy Nexus via the ICS Android update […]
