The IDC recently released their figures for smartphone shipments for Q2 2011 and it’s rather obvious that Nokia has had its lunch eaten without so much as putting up a fight. Apple, formerly the undisputed leader in terms of profits from their smartphone sales moved into the #1 spot with Samsung clinching the #2 spot. [...]
I spoke to my mate at Vodafone AU and he said he saw that there are rumours of that the UK will offer the handset from the 16th of August. (Apparently, Russia has a pre-order date the same as this). As we mentioned earlier, Australia has been suggested as the first market to launch [...]
Hello fellow Mynokiablog readers! Today we present an honest (harsh?) video comparison of Asphalt 6! The nitty-gritty details can be found in the video description below. From MrNokiaTech: “NOTE: Gameloft “ported” Asphalt 6 to the Symbian^3 OS. It appears that they were not able to harness the power of the Broadcom GPU and [...]
As part of our Nokia Concepts section “My Dream Nokia” we received an email featuring sketches from Joe Khays (also a high school student like the brilliant Jozef Kocur who btw has been invited by Microsoft to one of their conferences in Vegas. Great to know these awesome people are being noticed) My Dream Nokia [...]
A slew of tablets are to be announced at CES. One of ASUS’ tablets is called the EEE Pad slider. Some have said this is NOT a new form factor but has been seen in the HTC Touch Pro 2/HTC Shift. It’s more like what we’ve seen on the Nokia N97/N97 mini/E7 no and possibly [...]
On Christmas eve-eve we saw that Android 2.3 had been successfully ported to the N900 via the NITDroid project. Below we can see N900 with Smooth Gingerbread action. Cheers Keith for the heads up! Demoed features include: Homescreen Web Browser Akwardly small portrait keyboard (is that the landscape keyboard just in wrong orientation?) Dialler

The N900 Tagline: Is there anything this phone CANNOT do?! As you might know the N900 has already been taking host of Android for quite some time, also getting Froyo before many other supposed “Android Phones” :p. (Heh, All the other manufacturers are lucky Nokia’s not making Android phones as we all know they’d whip [...]
A frequent suggestion in blog comments relating to Nokia is to go with Android/WP7 and when it was available, to go buy Palm for WebOS. Why? Nokia has in house, Symbian and Maemo, the latter of which has become MeeGo – though the phone side has no presence on the market since there are no [...]
Last month we saw a Nokia N8 Clone sporting an Android Clone UI. Not really Android, just a skin that made it appear to look like Android. Well, back in August a picture of a Nokia N8 Clone was found, complete with Android 2.1 and Android buttons. More details surface from Yesky that says this [...]
We’ve seen the China Clone N8 in many places, even before the actual official N8. Here’s the retail version of the N8 China Clone, set with die-quick replaceable battery. You’ll note that this N8 attempts to replicate an earlier build where the bottom of the N8 has now changed (wrist strap and pin-charger location moved). [...]
Back in September we saw a host of Android Devices trying out MeeGo. Japanese Moblin developer Mitsutaka from blog.mitsutaka.org has ported over MeeGo 1.1 to his Nexus One giving detailed instructions too if you wanna give it a go yourself. News comes by way of Siraj from MeeGoArena It looks a tad stretched and if [...]
In a world of Nokia that’s waiting for the Nokia N8 (and successors) while competitors continue to innovate and advance, I thought I’d take a rather tongue in cheek look at what might happen with future devices should Nokia as a company merge with some of those competitors. Note this is not meant to be [...]
Got an Android or iPhone App? Want an even larger audience and another distribution point? Port to Qt and get your awesome app on the Ovi Store. Forum Nokia has a helpful page on their Wiki detailing instructions on porting Android and iPhone apps to Qt. The page was updated last in June, so now [...]
I was just about to have an early night when I saw @Camb078 tweet about a moto video. Does the above video look familiar? Well if you’ve been following the N8 you’ll notice they have very similar video editors. Now, they aren’t exactly the same but the resemblance is striking to the point that I’m [...]
Ars Technica performed some JavaScript Benchark tests of Android 2.2 (on Nexus One) against iOS4 (on iPhone) which they said, “Demolishes iOS4″. Well as Chippy from UMPCPortal and CarryPad shows, MeeGo beats them both. The image above shows firefox on a netbook, 3936.2ms vs 4215.2ms on Aava mobile. From Ars Techica’s tests, iPhone with iOS4 [...]
We’ve seen this Finnish phone before running Moblin and a Qt Interface to demo a possible MeeGo UI (or at least a reference design). We saw it most recently demonstrating the new MeeGo handset UX on video. Chippy, aka Steve Paine of CarryPad has it for the next 48 hours! This is Aava Mobile (also [...]
I don’t normally show case themes but I really like this Android theme for the Nokia N900. It doesn’t make your N900 appear like Android, but just picks of on hints of the design. It changes up the bookmark icons on the homescreen so the edges of the rectangles are rounded, plus the title bar [...]
Here’s a quick video demo of Intel’s AppUp centre (store) on a Moorsetown running Aava Mobile handset. Aava Mobile demonstrated this phone earlier at CES, at that time running on Mobilin, later demoing Qt based UI, the framework for MeeGo. It appears however, Aava Mobile will instead be making an Android phone (not sure if [...]
The other day, we say N900 running Android. Here are a few more video demos from another user who has been trying out Android on his N900. Xplosion974
You might have seen this video already. Sorry couldn’t post about it at the time. Had an exam that day and the following so couldn’t get on the blog. Anyway, here’s an Android port to the N900. djsteve1030
