Advertisements If the Nokia and Microsoft partnership continued independently as per original plans, Nokia would have unveiled their own smartwatch. After the D&S purchase, Nokia’s smartwatch project was cancelled (though Microsoft did continue to release their “band”. The boxiness of Metro kinda fits the smaller screen of a smartwatch. I think it probably doesn’t need […]
Microsoft’s Hololens is augmented reality on roids. Oculus Rift on the other hand aims to brings virtual reality to the masses. Both are awesome in their own right.

Today at Apple’s event, they announced a more proactive Siri. Like your Lumia, Siri can tell you about traffic when you’re leaving for work. I think Siri also looks at your calendar (looks at locations) and also gives info about traffic times. App wise, a bit like Nokia Z-launcher, iOS will suggest apps based on […]
