Nokia ready for Mobile World Congress
Nokia has announced a press conference for 25 February which is right at the beginning of the Mobile World Congress. Although there is no further information about this announcement, it can be assumed that is going to be about new devices and services.
Nokia's Lumia 920 hot in China
It seems that the Nokia Lumia 920 is selling like crazy in China. Although it has been said that the number of available devices based on Microsoft operating systems is relatively small, still orders for Windows Phones are not a normal occurance. That is until the Lumia 920.
Nokia tablet on the way
Nokia is developing a tablet based on an ARM processor and Windows RT, according plans of the Finnish manufacturer. The device should be launched in early 2013, and will have a screen with a diagonal of 10.1 inches. This device should complement their Windows Phone line up and let them compete in a wider market (with companies like HTC and Samsung who will be making both devices as well).
Is Samsung preparing flexible screen smartphones for 2013?
Samsung could present a mobile device with a flexible AMOLED screen during the first half of next year. Although stories about the upcoming availability of flexible screens have been circulating for years, Samsung display division is now in its final stage of development of flexible screens for mobile devices, while the latter could be presented in the first half of the 2013. They have already demonstrated some of the mobile devices with bendable displays at the Mobile World Congress trade-show, but they were mostly concept devices.
Nokia has released HERE maps; hopes to oust both Google and Apple
Nokia has unveiled its new market name, Here, the location platform in the "cloud." Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said that the company is doing a personalized card that should change the way we navigate. According to him, the quality and quantity of available data will enable the transformation of Nokia navigation service in a way that we have not even thought was possible.
Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 event
In San Francisco, a little after 10 o'clock local time, Microsoft began formally presenting Windows Phone 8. This is Microsoft’s new operating system for mobile devices which is a direct successor of Windows Phone 7, but also the link between Windows 8, Windows RT computers, and handheld devices. Although for now only three device manufacturers have reaffirmed their support for the new mobile OS (Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, HTC Windows Phone 8x and 8S and Samsung Galaxy S Ativ), for Microsoft this is the most important event of the year after they launched Windows 8 and their Surface RT tablets. In addition to the big three mentioned earlier, it is expected that Huawei will launch smartphones with WP8, presumably the Ascend W1 model, designed for the lower segment of the smartphone market. ZTE also plans to release their model next year.
Nokia releases their cheapest Windows Phone
Nokia's revenue is still generated through the sales of cheap devices in emerging markets. In accordance with the shifting business to Windows Phone, the company has also offered a cheap device based on the Microsoft OS. The new Lumia 510 will replace the 610 as the new entry level Windows Phone smartphone. Initial markets are India and China, but after it launches in September it should move quickly to other Asian and South American countries.
Nokia mocks Apple and the iPhone 5
After the Samsung commercial in which they stated that the next great thing is already here, referring to their Galaxy S3 and where they listed the features they have comparing to the much shorter iPhone 5's list, Nokia has released their own commercial. In this commercial they mock the Apple's device. They have also released a video advertisement on YouTube that features the iPhone 5 and their new Lumia 920. The movie does not include any dialog but it's pretty clear what the message is.
iPod Shuffle, Nano, Touch, Earpods, Lightning connector...
So now that we are done with new iPhone let’s see what else Apple has got for us. Two things will be together for all of their products, new earphones called “Earpods” and a new connector. Lightning, the name of the new dock connector, will use an all-digital 8-signal design and will be able to be connected either side up. This means you won’t have to look for that squared symbol anymore on your cord. It is also 80% smaller than the old 30-pin connector and Apple has stated that it has improved durability. There will also be an adapter for the 30-pin connector. Apple said that one of the reasons for making this connector was to make more space inside the case.
Instagram on Windows Phone 8
It looks like we will have the Instagram app on new Windows Phone 8 devices. The Famous Photo editing and sharing application has recently been purchased by Facebook and this is could be a sign that they are keeping their independency. The app is available for both Android and iOS for free currently and according to multiple sources it should be coming to new the Windows platform by the end of the year. The interesting thing is that the app is apparently produced by Microsoft. The main reason for it is that the Instagram team doesn’t feel that their time and work is worth producing app for this struggling mobile OS.
