| Earth VS Air who wins? #Lumia920 Posted: 28 Sep 2013 01:33 AM PDT When the Lumia 920 first launched, it made sense that its OIS capabilities would be used for capturing alternative sports, Nokia made several videos to show case it too including a lovely parkour one.
However they neither really hit the point, nor were that entertaining to forgive the lack of Lumia screen time. Today however Nokia released one of my favorite videos of the week, its a little silly competition between a BMX bike and a guy using an Air glide thingy (please remind me of its name in the comments) The action is all captured using several Nokia Lumia 920, featuring sine amazing music, some good laughs and a simple story line with a twist “PERFECT”. I think this the first video I’d brand as an Amazing everyday video. enjoy it guys.

| N1 – 13MP Swivel Camera with dual LED, 6 Element lens, 5.9″ display, 3610mAh Posted: 28 Sep 2013 12:45 AM PDT A while ago something like this would have belonged in our “My Dream Nokia” section (remember those side barrel rotating huge lens with 41mp concepts?). The specs and the name seem Nokia like. N1, 6 element lens, and swivel camera as seen in the likes of the N90 or 3250 as a couple of examples. But this is neither a concept nor is it a Nokia. It’s a device from Oppo and it’s real. I thought since it was shared with us by a MNB reader that it’s good to consider this form factor at least for future devices. It’s the ultimate for selfies and group photos, no since not only do you have the main camera and viewfinder positioned towards you but you also have the dual LEDs there. The camera is said to open in 0.6 seconds but the demo video (using an engineering sample) looks a bit slower (4-5 seconds). All that of course is for nothing if the camera quality actually sucks. We’ll wait to see if that’s any good. The long term durability of that hinge is a concern. Oppo claims to have tested it for 100,000 movements. Check out engadget’s hands on post for more details: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/23/oppo-n1-hands-on-video/ It seems it has a cool touch panel at the back, useful for taking a picture on something so large as this phablet perhaps. Something else quite interesting is this gesture to start apps thing. At first it looks a bit overdone as you have to pull down a drawing pad and then draw (Say a V) to start the torch. You could just as simply press the homescreen button and press the torch app (should that be your set up). But what’s cool is a bit like the first time you see double tap to unlock, you can do these gestures when the screen is off. On the processor side, it’s Qualcomm S600 (1.7GHz Quadcore) Currently only TDS-CDMA for China Mobile only. Cheers Ammad for the tip |
| Video: Ballmer’s Tearful Goodbye to Microsoft & Employees Posted: 28 Sep 2013 12:42 AM PDT Before Microsoft announced their plans to purchase Nokia’s devices and services division, Ballmer announced that he would step down as CEO of Microsoft within the year. Yesterday during a company-wide meeting, he said his final last goodbyes to Microsoft and his employee’s; in a mix of tears, shouts, fist pumps and chest pounding their was a lot of true raw emotion. Enough to have my eye’s getting a little watery too; point is regardless of what we as Nokia fans think/thought of Ballmer, he had a genuine love for his company, and it shows; he loved his employees, and it seems a lot of them loved him back (after all they always got free Xboxes, devices, and laptops If your tear ducts are ready watch the video below: |
| Concept: Exchangeable Type Covers for Windows Phone Posted: 28 Sep 2013 12:20 AM PDT Here’s a really awesome concept called “Plumage”, it’s basically a Windows Phone QWERTY device, except the keyboard is a type cover similar to the Surface. The cover folds over itself doubling as a case for the phone as well when not in use, and of course the coolest idea of the concept is the fact that the cover is exchangeable, meaning you can switch it out for another cover to fit your needs (Music cover?, Simple Tp keypad if that’s your thing). Unfortunately this concept means you’ll also lose half your screen real estate, which is kind of a huge trade-off, still the idea is pretty awesome; and the concept phone looks AMAZING.

Last week we saw a very similar looking 500 which appeared to have slightly more rounded corners, but short of that was almost identical to this; so perhaps their just a Dual/single sim variant of each other? Or one with 3G and one without? Either way that brings the count of devices to 4/6 for the Abu Dhabi launch (1520,2520,500,502)- ones that we’ve actually seen. Cheers Kojo for the tip. |
). I’m trying to imagine what Elop’s farewell speech would have been like? He probably won’t have one to give, but if he did; would be half as emotional as this? I imagine lots of booing and a couple of rotten tomatoes.
