Currently Reddit’s top story, here are some owls which begin to dance once this Nokia is put in front of them whilst playing a song.

| Yet another…WP Notifications concept for WP 8.1 Posted: 07 Jan 2014 11:05 AM PST
Here’s another Notification Centre concept. The descriptions in the picture are pretty self explanatory. A little bit like Peter’s Hyperspace concept, pressing back reveals the notifications. Instead of pressing back and then swiping to see notifications, you get a little window peak, just right to the most recently used app.I’m not quite sure if those icons are just status indicators enlarged or possibly quick launch icons (e.g. the settings cog). It would be nice to be the latter. At the moment, it seems the official method (according to rumours) is a long and short gesture from the top that gives access to notifications control and quick settings. This concept method might please the purists that hate the idea of having another pull down. Via: Reddit |

Quick heads up, some more excellent value ‘entry’ level handsets are appearing in India. For those who want a big phablet but without the big price, they can opt for the Nokia Lumia 1320. Alternatively there’s the popular 525
Here’s Gadget’s Boy giving a run down of the features in the 1320.

| WP Outselling iPhone in 24 Countries, 2nd Most Popular OS in 14 Countries. Posted: 07 Jan 2014 09:50 AM PST
We’ve heard multiple different stories about how Windows Phone (and Nokia of course) were gaining traction world-wide, most of these included outselling the iPhone, while Android remained dominant. Now Microsoft have shared some official numbers, which state that Windows Phone has been outselling the iPhone in 24 countries, and has even achieved #2 position in 14 countries. On the US front, with the help of the Lumia 521 and 520 Windows Phone’s market-share has seen a slight increase of 2.1% sales in the last three months of 2013 (making up 5% of the total sales in end of 2013). Microsoft exces further claimed that Windows Phone’s performance “was making it the fastest selling smartphone platform globally”. Read more at TechRadar and Kantar Jay:
WP is pretty much Nokia Lumia so it may be possible to accurately estimate Nokia’s sales for Q4. Although this is merely anecdotal, I’m seeing a lot more high end Lumias here in the UK than I have before. Also quite a few 520s too. All is relative. Selling more than you have before is easy if your numbers are relatively not that high to begin with (exaggerated more so by percentage displays). Whilst selling more iPhone in 24 countries sounds good, it doesn’t mean it’s number 2 OS in 24 countries because who says iPhone was second to displace? Even so, without actual numbers it doesn’t mean much. But, growth is growth and it’s remarkable considering the frozen pace at which Microsoft’s team of mitten chained WP8 people attempt to ‘improve’ the platform. It’s good news regardless as it shows that some people do prefer to get a WP over the glamorous iPhone. WP sells more units than iPhone in the following countries:
WP is also number 2 behind Android in these countries:

Nokia’s HERE tweeted that they’ve now got TRANSIT mapping for Shanghai and Beijing. Transit is a really useful app for navigating via public transport. |

In the 808 post yesterday, I saw a comment at AAS highlighting their 808 PureView Gallery. I took a nosy and thought I’d share it with you guys cos it’s really good. It’s by Massis. Check out this stitching of a panorama which produces an interesting warped tunnel. I also like the reverse effect where it turns the panorama into a mini world. There’s a whole load of stunning images here. |

Also, the URL says N82 Cheers ‘E7′ for the tip! |
Twitter’s got Fail Whale, Imgur’s got the giraffe. When a webpage goes missing or stops working, it usually causes some frustration. Some sites have taken it upon themselves to make light of this matter with a little humour.
