| Spotify Finally Hits WP8 Marketplace; Beta Branding in Town Posted: 08 Feb 2013 09:01 AM PST
Spotify has been one of those big apps inexcusably missing from the WP8 store, made even less excusable by the fact that it’s available to WP7.X devices. Well all you Spotify fans can rest easy seeing how the app has finally hit the WP8 marketplace in Beta mode.
You can grab the app from over here: Or scan the QR Code to grab it: |
| Lumia 920 Plastered All Over At&t’s Facebook Wall Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:55 AM PST
I’m not exactly sure how, but I landed on At&t’s Facebook page, where I was surprised with a familiar face; the Lumia 920. the 920 is literally plastered all over their facebook page. I know that might not seem like a big deal; but almost every single post they’ve published since it launched (almost none are actually related to the phone) has the 920 featuring in it. And of course this is going directly to the news feeds of 3.8 Million Facebook users (although most of them probably have hidden posts by At&t I just thought it was cool that although they might not be making as big of an effort to push the 920 as they did with the 900 (I still want to see something like the Beta test campaign); they haven’t completely forgotten that it’s their exclusive device. (Does anyone know if At&t has any other exclusives at the time besides the 920?- Which if I recall should be ending soon)

| Ubisoft Planning on Releasing More WP Games; Including Rayman Jungle Run and Others. Posted: 08 Feb 2013 06:39 AM PST
In all honestly Windows Phone has some serious shortcomings when it comes to games, especially if one is perhaps converting from iOS which has some console quality graphics on their games (Arkham City, Infiniti Blade 1 &2 and others). Windows Phone on the other hand gets games that might have “cute” graphics (ragdoll run, Haunted) but nothing that WOWS you. Hopefully that’ll change as Ubisoft have announced/leaked some upcoming titles for WP which include Rayman Jungle Run, Rabbids go phone again and Monster Burner. Hopefully this is the start of many more to come (chiefly some of the higher graphics/quality games) such as assassins creed and Tom Clancy. |
| Lumiappdates: PDF Reader for WP8 updated again? (08/02/2013) Posted: 08 Feb 2013 06:38 AM PST
The PDF reader just got updated again. I’m not sure if this is any different other than the date it was last updated. Perhaps a minor bug fix? It’s fine for the usual set of PDFs except huge 1000+page 100+mb textbooks. That doesn’t seem to be something a lot of you guys do apparently. I’m redownloading the same book to my 800 as I know I’ve got some textbooks on there which it can open with Adobe reader (though those textbooks are “only” 600 pages). Update: Nah, 800 wouldn’t download. Update: PDF Reader WILL open large textbooks on the 920. But it will take 30-60 seconds to do so which is a bit annoying. Being able to jump to a page number works quickly enough though. Due to the 768×1280 screen, it is possible to read the whole textbook without zooming in. And it crashed. :/

| Bluetooth Share and Camera Extras Now Available for WP 7.8 Posted: 08 Feb 2013 03:10 AM PST
Although the WP 7.8 has started rolling-out a while back; some people were having trouble getting the “bluetooth share” feature to work; or even finding it in the marketplace. Well Nokia have just announced that it’s up and running; announcing it on their website, with QR codes to download them from the marketplace. Bluetooth Share:

| Nokia “Access Point” and “Blink” Updated for WP8 Posted: 08 Feb 2013 03:03 AM PST
My 920 just asked me to update a couple apps; including the Nokia “Access Point” which I have no idea what it does honestly. While the recently launched “Blink” lens for WP8; was also updated bringing some stability and bug fixes. In other news still no Portico on my 920….. |
| More love for the Nokia Lumia 620. CNet and Pocket-lint give 4.5 stars out of 5! Posted: 08 Feb 2013 02:21 AM PST
Yesterday, Engadget praised the 620 and said it was precisely what an entry level smartphone should be. Now we’ve also got CNET-uk and Pocket-lint awarding it a very high 4.5/5.
Pocket-lint says they loved pretty much everything about the 620 though unlike CNET who says battery life is decent are concerned about the battery life. Cheers all for the heads up!

Have you heard of something called, Windows Blue? This is meant to be a feature pack for Windows 8 but it’s coming to Windows Phone too. Also, instead of coming through OEMs, the update will appear through the store (possibly avoiding those testing delays). Mary J Foley’s sources says Blue would bring updates to things like internet explorer browser, calendar app, mail and bing as well as adding kernel and driver level changes that could improve battery life and performance. Backward compatibility with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 is said to be a priority. Mary Jo Foley assures us this rumour is pretty solid. Source: ZDNet Via: WMPU Cheers Dan for the tip! |

Nokia Lumia 822 is put up against Sammy’s ATIV Odyssey by PhoneDog in a two part video lasting 18 minutes in total. Nokia’s phone has a bigger screen with a 8mp camera that does 1080p (ATIV is 5mp at 720p video). Conclusion? Nokia Lumia 822 wins.
