Video: Nokia Lumia 900 spotted in finale of Hit TV Show ‘Touch’

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 07:16 PM PDT

Touch is one of my favourite TV Shows on right now (if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you do). The finale aired a few hours days (due to damn uploading issues, post got delayed) ago and to my pleasant surprise the Lumia 900 had a nice little role.

The use of the 900 lasted for about a minute, and there is no Nokia or WP branding, although there is the slight AT&T LTE branding, shown during the use of Air Graffiti. A character says she “forgot it was even under there” when the main character finds the Lumia 900 in a box under the bed. HOW CAN YOU FORGET YOU HAD A LUMIA 900!!!! Hahaha.

Its good that Nokia devices are still on US TV. Everything these days is iPhone. Surprised the other week to see an N9 on Aussie TV, only for it to be replaced this week with an iPhone 4 :/ The N900 and N8 still pop up occasionally which is also good.

I had tried to upload a video after I saw the episode but Vimeo took forever “processing” even 48 hours later and since YT has those damn copyright issues, so I gave up. But WP central have uploaded one to Skydrive if you’re interested.

Lumiappaday #200: ilomilo demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 XboxLive

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 08:18 AM PDT

ilomilo is a fun and cute XboxLive puzzle game. The aim is to reunite ilo and milo who are put at different ends of a 3d maze of blocks. The controls are touch based – Dpad for controls and a switch button to switch between ilo and milo. Tilting the phone changes the view and you can pinch/zoom and rotate. You’ll have different instruments and actions in order to get ilo and milo together. You will come to a point where you’ll have to keep switching one and then the other in order to reunite ilo and milo.

Developer Blurb:

 ilomilo is a puzzle game where the player controls two friends named ilo and milo. The two friends always seem to get separated from each other in the surrealistic and ever changing world they inhabit. ilomilo presents puzzles where the player will have to use a great deal of three dimensional thinking to succeed. The world of ilomilo is made of cubes, and ilo and milo can walk any side of the cubes, as well as move cubes around. The player controls both ilo and milo, and will have to make them cooperate to unite them.

Symbian Apps: Vimeo demoed on the Nokia N8, available at Nokia Store

Camb078 demoes the official Vimeo app. Some bits look like an app, other bits look a bit like a mobile site.

I can’t seem to find a link at the moment at Nokia Store. Searching for ‘vimeo’ says not available :/

Weekend Watch: Nokia 808 PureView hands on and 1080p sample

Posted: 02 Jun 2012 12:51 AM PDT

First up, Hans Jochens takes a look at the Nokia 808 PureView.

Towards the middle he compares it with an iPhone, and a Droid handset that looks awfully like the iPhone.

Not in English btw.

Cheers all for the tip!

Secondly, a quick video sample – if you look at the scenery, this appears to be from the recent bloggers Nokia 808 PureView event.

Listen out for the richness of that audio quality and watch out for that quality zoom during video!
