‘Ovi Music Player’ becomes ‘Nokia Music Player’
I’m not sure how many of you actually use Nokia/Ovi music player but personally I use it transfer music to my phone as well as Metadeta collection for tracks.

If you head over to http://store.nokia.com/ you’ll find that there’s been a couple changes to the layout, mainly moving all the categories to left side of the screen rather than having them cluttered up below the featured app. This new design does make it much simpler to navigate through the site and gives it a more professional look.

Another advantage of the Nokia-Microsoft deal about 8 months back promised to bring more “Microsoft related support” to the current and future lines of Symbian phones.

Now that I’ve sorted out most of the images and videos I took at Nokia World, here’s the first gallery. It’s compressed btw so it doesn’t severely affect the site. I think the whole album is 2.2mb. I say first as I’m still getting used to a mac and can’t quite work out where the [...]

Video: N9 Review – Accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Settings
This is gonna be long if I have to type out the whole thing, so I’ll just do a summary. I think this video is quite detailed, (sometimes backtracking as I remember secondary things), so I don’t wanna waste too much time, both my own, and yours, the reader. Apparently it was too long for [...]

Nokia brand protection
Nowadays, you can’t go anywhere or watch anything on TV, without being bombarded with Apple’s propaganda. It is spread pretty much everywhere, but I used to think that there were some places that were to remain untainted.
