Nazwil8 tweets that there might be a fourth live tile size. We began with ‘medium’ square and ‘wide’ rectangle. This was followed by WP8 using more of the width of the screen and introducing ‘small’ square. For WP8.1, we can enjoy Mr Joe Belfiore demoing the resizing of tiles all over again with the ‘Large’ […]
This ‘video’ was grabbed from Verizon’s site showing the Nokia Lumia Icon #929 rotating 360 degrees. As with Nokia’s 3D renders, they often make the device oddly uglier/thicker than real life pictures. This may be the case again here since we’ve already seen live pictures of the icon and it looks better than what we’re […]
A user commented on TheVerge saying that the only thing they’re missing is something similar to the ‘Android Swype’ keyboard. Tom Warren replied that it’s coming. Tom Warren is more often than not correct on his MS/WP related comments. I’m not quite sure which specific Verge comments this came from but it was reposted to […]
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen concepts for WP that includes a background wallpaper. This concept is created by Fabian Pimminger. In the animated .gifs below you can see how it works with vertical scrolling, horizontal scrolling (including a side swipe notification). Note that some of the tiles are slightly translucent to maximise the […]
Tom Warren from TheVerge seems to have a different version of the WP notification screenshot going around. This may be a mock up put on the 1020 or a different screenshot altogether. Â Either way, he confirms this new look is genuine. The four basic quick settings are customizable. I think I might set screen brightness […]
The above email exchange between Microsoft employees is arguably the first leaked screenshot of what Microsoft is calling Action Center, just like Android and IOS, it’s accessed by a swipe down from the top, and it’ll present four customizable quick settings buttons. (Which makes the picture bellow a lot more credible) If you’re within an app the Action Center will not show notification […]
I‘ve only used Nokia phones as my camera, and over the years, Nokia kept giving me reasons not to buy dedicated cameras, as such every Nokia that focused on photography I had to snatch it right away. I never had the cash or the heart to buy a Lumia 1020 because I already had the 808, so when the […]
Peter Bright from ArsTechnica responds to Charles Arthur’s suggestion on The Guardian that Microsoft should fork Android. Why? It’s unworkable. He says you can have compatibility or control but not both.  Google has worked to make Android unworkable. For those who might bring in Amazon, Peter discusses those shortcomings too. In the grand scheme of things, […]
