Nokia Australia mailed me earlier this week to inform me of some local succes. A fellow Aussie, Jason van Genderen, used his (or maybe just a) Nokia Lumia 920, to create his Sundance winning video, “Red Earth Hip Hop”. Van Genderen’s film explores how hip hop, a music culture seeded in the Bronx, has reached indigenous communities in [...]

It’s always interesting to look at how far technology has progressed, and although with the latest Lumia 925 we can see that obviously in terms of actual performance (blowing away the S4, One and everything else). It’s also nice to see what’s inside the device (which is what counts); the picture above is a side by side of the camera [...]

There’s a growing number of services that’s allowing WP users to upload their photos directly to instagram – something some thought would never happen due to the lack of official Instagram for the platform. One of the apps that now allows you to upload pictures to Instagram is Itsdagram. It works pretty much as expected. [...]

Windows Phone Marketplace Will Finally Support Gift Cards (rather than Microsoft Points)

| May 16, 2013 | 21 Replies

One of the most irritating things about the Windows Phone marketplace (besides the missing apps) is the fact that your purchase options are VERY limited, Paypal is only supported in a few countries, and I’m not even sure if carrier billing is an option. Even worse is the fact that there *was* no such thing [...]
