Advertisements Odd. Have you seen this video? It was posted a month ago and it shows off 3D sensor capabilities on Windows Phone. Even the official WP google+ page shared it back then. Whilst we’ve learnt that such a (or a similar?) thing was developed by Nokia, it’s strange to see this on a HTC. […]
When Maemo became MeeGo and MeeGo went caput, one of the two main ‘directions’ of sorts where people went was either to Jolla or to Tizen (notably, a few of the Maemo/MeeGo blogs became Tizen focused). It’s more Bada than anything. Vaibhab Sharma, prominent blogger of Nokia and all things handset types, filmed this hands […]
Not one to be outdone by @evleak’s news, Daniel Rubino says he can add some more information regarding McLaren – Microsoft/Nokia’s next flagship. Daniel confirms what @evleaks mentions regarding McLaren being available to the three US carriers at launch, T-Mob, Verizon and AT&T. It would be the first time such a hero device is simultaneously […]
Phone Arena reviews the first All Screen, dual-sim Lumia, the successor to the very successful huge bang for buck Nokia Lumia 620. Build and design is high quality and typically Nokia. The 5MP are not terrible, with good detail but colours are off. Vivid display is a great asset. Call quality not all that […]
Brad Molen from Engadget takes an in depth look at Cortana, Microsoft’s Voice Assistant for Windows Phone that seeks to be almost human. http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/04/cortana-microsoft-windows-phone/ Microsoft found that people are more likely to interact with something if it feels more human (also if it can actually do what you expect it to do). To personify something like […]
A scientific paper has been published which features the Nokia Lumia 1020. John P Graff and Mark Li-cheng Wu used the Nokia Lumia 1020 as a 41MP photomicroscope. They picked the 1020 due to the huge megapixel count as well as having optical image stabilisation. This kind of set up means high quality but having […]
Do you remember when Damian Dinning mentioned that there were some features that didn’t make the cut in the final Nokia Lumia 1020? As an ex-Nokia Imaging Guru guy, Damian would know much about Nokia’s capabilities and what was then on the pipeline. Over on twitter, he’s been musing about its successor. It’s been […]
The WP dev preview is exactly that, a preview for developers so not yet ready like whatever version is on the 630. Anyway, on this one, you can see that whilst the finger is scrolling, the screen isn’t changing. I don’t know how to embed onedrive videos so here’s the link. https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=e34ddc9ba6d9b334&id=E34DDC9BA6D9B334%2112034&ithint=video,.mp4&authkey=!ANLAc8Efkuo5C78 I’ve not experienced […]
Nokia (old) has bought mapping startup, Desti, which uses AI and natural language processing to help people find what they’re looking for. Desti was linked to the group that produced Siri, SRI-international. Desti’s technology will be incorporated into HERE and the backend will become part of the platform over time. This goes way beyond maps as it […]
