| Reddit says new Apple iPod Nano looks like Nokia Lumia. Twitter too. Posted: 12 Sep 2012 02:53 PM PDT
As much as some people feel annoyed at the mention of Apple on a Nokia blog, it’s part and parcel of being a Nokia blogger to talk about the competition. The one always mentioned is of course, Apple. Today however, lots of people, who aren’t Nokia bloggers – just general members of the public, are talking about Nokia whilst mentioning Apple. Not so much iPhone but the new iPod, which Ali mentioned looks like the Nokia Lumia. Well, to be fair, some say that the N9/800 may have gotten cues from the older nano. ElMu certainly thinks so – it was one of his first comments about the N9. But now the world thinks that Apple has gotten a lot of cues from Lumia.  Image edited by Reddit, from TheVerge Reddit seems to think so and it’s their top 3 news item on the front page. Reddit recognition is huge. It’s the front page of the internet (:p) lol.
I think Apple knew it looks like the Lumia by making the glass border bezel white on all of the colours except the black one. Otherwise, yeah, it would just look like a Lumia.
General members of the twitter public (possibly less techy aware than Reddit) are also making this point too.
Do I care that Apple is supposedly copying Nokia Lumia? No not really. Some say it looks like a Zune. What I think is great is how people are recognising the Nokia Lumia design.
Samsung isn’t too far away though. For some reason they’ve purchased results for this search term :/
Either way, it’s nice of Apple to reinforce how cool the Nokia Lumia designs are. (Also, how are folks spinning the 16:9 screen now…I thought 4:3 was meant to be perfect).

| Nokia Calls out Apple’s Lack of Innovation; Redirects You to Lumia Posted: 12 Sep 2012 01:10 PM PDT
If anything today proved how little “Innovation” Apple really does; where in fact it’s more of a Marketing scheme (they would make one hell of a marketing team for Nokia
I don’t know who recently got their hands on the password for Nokia’s twitter account; but please keep him/her/it in-charge! Personally I don’t see why a company has to be stiff and rigid all the time; let us have some fun.

| Apple Event Let-Down A Win for Nokia? Posted: 12 Sep 2012 12:08 PM PDT
*Note: below are some random ramblings about Apple’s event along with some attempts at justifying this post…you have been warned. First off let me make one thing very clear, even if the new iPhone/iPhone 5 was a piece of aluminum foil with a sim door and an apple logo on the back it would still sell in record breaking amounts, pair up that device which is admittedly a bit more than tin foil alongside Apples amazing marketing team and you know that no matter what type of reviews it gets it will still sell in millions on the first day of availability. In case you guys missed it (or just didn’t really care) the new iPhone has a 4 inch display (not even HD/720P resolution yet they insist on calling it Retina) and is admittedly pretty thin (7.6MM); Apple claim it’s the thinnest phone ever, which is a blatant lie since the new Motorola droid is 7.1MM but whatever. Besides that the iPhone is pretty much the same as all others, yet Apple continue to call it ”All new” and crammed with innovation; yet ironically they said:
What? Hello where have you guys been since 2008? If the best feature your new iPhone offers is a built in panorama maker then you have serious issues. When it comes to the camera nothing new has been added (same old 8Mp sensor) except using “Sapphire Crystal” in the lens; presumably to avoid scratches? Regardless following the twitter and news feeds of people I know who are amongst some of the biggest SENSIBLE Apple fans (where they admire the actual technology, but don’t blindly worship the logo) there has been a great deal of disappointment regarding the latest iPhone. In a world of amazing displays why isn’t the display 720p at the very least? Considering how Apple were the first to WOW us with their amazing “retina” screens on the iPhone 4 why didn’t they bother carrying through? Lack of NFC seems to have been a huge issue as it reached the top ten trending worldwide on Twitter during the event (#6):
Apple also announced a migration to a new connector dock, from the customary 30 Pin to a new 8 pin connector (called Lightning); which means that there’s one less “string” tying consumers down to their iphones. The point is Apple have left a hole in the hearts of TRUE geeks, who appreciate actual creativity and technology; more than shiny billboards and flashy ads; making this THE PERFECT moment for Nokia to make its comeback. Every single aspect where the new iPhone fails the Lumia series (specifically the 920) shines:
All in all Nokia might have a chance to encroach on Apples Market-share if anyone who was holding out for the latest iPhone thinks it’s no longer worth it. Nokia have a great thing going with the latest Lumias, and if they pull their $h!t together they might have a chance, BUT and this is a big but, the iPhone 5 has an almost immediate release, with pre-orders going live the day after tomorrow (sept. 14th) and deliveries promised on the 21st. Can a phone with an unspecified release date compete with that? My two-cents as a hobbyist blogger with no background in Media relations what so ever: NOKIA, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL US WHEN THE 920 IS COMING! I don’t care how you do it, rent a plane and write in the sky, or leak it through the Verge (or here, MNB is fine..Thank You) just let consumers know when we can buy your products!
BTW- Some people are pointing out that the new iPod Nanos look like a tiny Lumia:

These have been credited as work by Jonas Daehnert, a designer who has produced some of the classiest MDN we have showcased. This design doesn’t stray too far from the beauty that is already the Nokia Lumia 800. This is also called the Nokia Lumia 1001 too.

I managed to get my own package in the end from Nokia Connects. This is of course the Nokia Lumia 920 box with the little component parts. Just as an addition you can see comparison of the Lumia 920 case with that of the 900 and 800. It’s pretty much the same as the 900, whilst the 800 can fit inside the 920. It looks great in red but I think it’s all about the yellow (my Omnia and N8 previously had bright yellow cases on them – always a head turner and very difficult to get lost) The video below is filmed on the Nokia 808 PureView. It’s becoming my favourite go-to device now for filming as it’s very convenient to use for video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpbElBe2To8

 Photo from http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02330/lumia920_2330131b.jpg We’ve had a week now to settle in to the newly announced Nokia Lumias. There’s a lot to like but there’s always as ever, room for improvement. If you could, what would you have changed about the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820? Features wise, design wise…? I’m sure I can already guess who will be screaming for an OS change. You’re welcome to say so but think of this more as a feedback form for the next Lumia. I guess it would help if we actually had one that we could use and give real feedback on (because we might end up liking something we thought we wouldn’t and vice versa).
