If all things go as planned, hopefully I’ll be on the conference floor getting some hands on pictures, footage, details and much much more while [...]
Video: Steve Ballmer – The Amazing Everyday (ft Bill Gates)
Just saw Jonchoo retweet this on my timeline. It’s a video mashed up by @richardlai, Engadget’s editor in Chief (China) . It’s a spoof of the amazing everyday – a campaign Nokia is using to promote the Nokia Lumia devices. It’s great that folks are thinking of spoofing it, suggesting it’s getting some acceptance into at [...]

Windows Phone sales about to overtake Symbian this month in UK? Lumia the Lionshare of WP
Electric Pig (via WPCentral) reports on figures by Kantar Worldpanel Comtech indicating apparently that Windows Phone might overtake Symbian sales this month. Note though, I’m not a big fan of these survey things. I’m not actually sure there are sales data applied here though I might be wrong. That’s not so much WP drastically growing, though there is [...]
Nokia Opens LTE (True 4G) Test Lab in Silicon Valley
This week Nokia-Siemens opened a new LTE testing lab in Silicone Valley California; the point of these LTE test facilities is to simulate an LTE network and check the performance of your devices on them (as far as I could gather?); you might recall that a couple of months back Nokia-Siemens network unveiled a new [...]
Lumiappaday #98: Top Truck demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s Top Truck, one of many in this genre of driving your vehicle whilst managing its tilt as it rides along some steep inclines and descents. Catch green power ups, avoid red ones. Crush cars to impress the crowd. Avoid flipping over (At least right until you pass at the end) or you’ll have to [...]
Lumiappaday #97: Air Hockey demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s a popular game for all platforms, it’s Air Hockey. One such version of this game is by Hyperkani (a Symbian/Nokia developer on Nokia store. Very pleased to see them making apps for our Lumia). Anyway, this is actually a different developer, though you might be familiar with their games already as we have featured [...]
Newspaper Scanning Coming to Bing Search Soon
Bing search on WP already has a lot more functionality than you’d expect, currently being able to search by voice, scan music, find locations, read QR tag, scan book covers and translate text; However soon it will also support the ability to scan newspaper text and directly link you to that article online (for over 30,000 publications)- which sounds pretty cool. [...]

Each [...]

Here’s Basketball (by developers Lucky Game).

Anyway, you’re basically shooting some hoops like you might find yourself [...]

There are quite a number of weather apps available for your Lumia on Marketplace. Lumiappaday #77 with Ali was the weather app called Vadret (now called Weather View btw). I’m not really one for weather apps, I just tell my lumia “weather in manchester” for it to pop up some weather info. Last week we got contacted [...]

Rumours: Nokia X7-like Nokia Lumia 805? (12mp?)
Aikon171 tipped in this image of possibly a Nokia X7 looking device but with Windows Phone. http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1416191865 It might be fake. I can’t really grasp the screen ratio from here but as you know being WP it has to have 800×480. They’ve named it Nokia Lumia 805. The extra 5 perhaps due to the bigger [...]

Save the roundy is another one of those ever so popular physics based games where you clear level after level of difficult puzzles, this one is based on the concept of getting all the roundies (roundii?) down to the metal platform without tipping them off the edge and falling into the dark abyss. Of course it starts [...]
