"NEWS: NOKIA AND MICROSOFT FORM PARTNERSHIP"

Nokia has announced plans to form a "broad strategic partnership" with Microsoft.

The deal would see Nokia use the Windows phone operating system for its smartphones, the company said.

Microsoft's Bing will power Nokia's search services, while Nokia Maps would be a core part of Microsoft's mapping services.



The best solution for Nokia would have been to make Android as well as WP7 products. Their strategy is massively risky, windows brand identity is not very desirable and they have a tiny percentage of the phone market. By being platform agnostic they could benefit from whichever 'ecosystem' happens to be doing well at any given time. I fear this will end quite badly for our Finish friends!
Re: Android, Anyone? by DoubleN(m): 10:50pm On Feb 11, 2011
Same thing i thought when i saw the news. Nokia makes the best hardware but where so adamant on keeping their crappy software (Symbian). Now that they have decided to send symbian to the grave,why settle for less?? Why not go with a trusted solution? (Andriod). I mean no disrespect to Windows phone 7 but i do see what challenge they stand to give either IOS or Andriod.

[size=13pt]Samsung Galaxy S II and 10-inch Galaxy Tab II Details Leak[/size]



Looks like Samsung is announcing the the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab II at Mobile World Congress this week. The Galaxy S II is expected to rock a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 Super AMOLED Plus display, and 1GHz dual-core processor with NFC, Bluetooth 3.0, and 24Mbps HSPA+. The Galaxy Tab II is going to be 10-inches (nice!) and spec'd similarly to the Motorola Xoom. What's most interesting about this Tab II is that it'll be a Google Experience Device, meaning this could be a good one

Re: Android, Anyone? by texazzpete(m): 2:46pm On Feb 13, 2011
thank God Nokia is more pragmatic than you folk.
if they had gone Android, they'd have been toast. See how @na2day and @otumfour are already drooling over the Galaxy S II. By the end of MWC 2011, LG and HTC would have announced ultra-powerful dual core phones. Just 2 months ago you two were drooling about Nexus S.
Now if given a choice, will any of you buy the Nexus S over the Galaxy S II? or even the LG Optimus 2X? Or the upcoming 3D Dual core LG phone?

If Nokia releases an 'N9' running Android, they'd struggle to differentiate themselves in the crazy Android world. Samsung sold 10 million galaxy S phones in 2010. They won't do that again in 2011. We'd have phones from LG, HTC and Motorola stealing their thunder.

^^^pragmatic my foot!



Yeah. Right. Sure. Once upon a time Nokia delivered great products. In technology years that’s decades ago. Since then, first BlackBerries, then iPhones, and now a variety of Android phones have left Nokia eating their dust.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has always been a mobile operating system failure. Unable to squeeze out its enemies on phones with the strong-arm tactics that proved so successful on the desktop, it was forced to compete on features and quality on phones and Microsoft failed, and then failed again, and it’s still failing today with Windows Phone 7.

The sad thing is that Windows Phone 7 is, I think, easily the best of all of Microsoft’s attempts to create a mobile operating system. It would have been great in say 2007 when Apple released the iPhone. It would have had a shot if has showed up in 2008 when Google was still struggling to get Android-powered smartphones out the door. But today? Microsoft and Nokia are the edge.

We won’t see a shipping Nokia WP7 until the fourth quarter of 2011. By that time, the iPhone 5 will have been out for months; dozens of Android 2.4 phones will be out, and even HP’s webOS phones will be out before Nokia WP7 phones appear. Oh, and Research-in-Motion will have its next generation BlackBerry PlayBook out by then too.

Nokia could have done the smart thing and bit the bullet and gone with Android, which would have been much easier to port to Nokia’s hardware. Nokia could have done the brave thing and persisted with trying to make MeeGo into a viable smartphone system. Instead, Nokia’s Microsoft CEO did the Microsoft thing. I’m sure that will help him and his buddies in Redmond, Washington, but it won’t help Nokia at all.

Oh, in theory, MeeGo, like Android a Linux-based mobile operating system is still alive and kicking. It’s not. Even before Nokia announced its Microsoft partnership, the company had killed off its N9-00 MeeGo phone even before launching it. MeeGo, unless Intel decides to keep it going, is dead. Nokia will close the coffin lid on it later this year.

Look at this way though, thanks to this Microsoft deal, since MeeGo is an open-source project, it may very well live longer than Nokia will.

And like i said before somewhere in another thread, Only time will tell!

I'm sorry, but you've confirmed you don't know what you're talking about.
Windows Mobile a mobile OS failure? You're kidding, right? After Symbian, Windows Mobile was the next most popular mobile OS on smartphones. For enterprise use, Windows Mobile was the marketleader by a long shot in 2004.

I can't see why you didn't get my point. Going with Android would have been a terrible decision by Nokia. They'd never be able to differentiate their phone fully, they'd be locked in an insanely difficult competition with the likes of LG, HTC, Motorola and Samsung. Take a look at the initial reveals from MWC 2011. Can you see how the hype for Motorola's Atrix is already dying?

I don't understand your point about 'blackberries left Nokia eating their dust'. Nokia still remains the largest phone maker in the world, well above RIM (4th place). As far as OS is concerned, Nokia's Symbian^3 is miles better than the crappy BB OS. So what exactly did you mean by that comment?

Still dwelling on what has been, eh
Right now Windowsphone 7 is a mobile that seems to be completely disconnected from the reality of the present mobile industry. Imagine? No copy and paste, no Flash support, no multitasking. This might have worked two years ago, in fact it did work two years ago with the first and second iPhones, but tell Microsoft, this is not 2008 anymore. If they want to seriously compete, sorry to be cliché but they need to get with the times.
At the news of the alliance, Nokia's shares went 14% down and were at one time as much as 16% down. It would be safe to say that there is concern in the market as to whether this alliance is good for Nokia.

Yeah, i know!
They should have gone Android a long time ago, They were always about hardware, Both combined, back then would have been "da bomb"
I still maintain they should not be putting all their eggs in one basket, HTC model would have cut them some slacks.
Infact i would rather buy a solid Nokia phone running android rather than the fragile toys circulating all over the market now.

You said Windows Mobile has always been a failure, i countered it with factual data. Why the cheap dig?
Windows Phone 7 will get copy and paste in March. Flash support will come eventually. IOS doesn't have flash and it's still running neck and neck with Android, scoring points as the better overall OS for now. Multi-tasking is coming as an update this year too. They are, in your words, 'getting with the times'.

Nokia's first WP7 device will ship at the end of 2011. By then, all these updates will be out. The Windows Marketplace will have a load of apps (windows marketplace grew faster than Android Market and AppStore in the last few months). Nokia's Ovi maps will provide FREE turn by turn OFFLINE maps, every bit as good as google's offering. Bing is every bit as accurate (if not more) than google search.

In short, by end 2011 Windows Phone 7 will be every bit as attractive as android for the vast majority of mainstream customers.

Re: Android, Anyone? by abionaalli(m): 7:50pm On Feb 15, 2011
i'm a bit worried for Nokia. why go with only wp7 when they can continue with meego, as well as adopt android? so what happens if it they dont succeed? after-all, htc produces windows phones alongside their android phones and they are a very successful company. it would look like nokia is running away from competition but i say that is what will make them stronger. i have my doubts about the success of wp7 cos i think microsoft came late to the party but like has been earlier said only time will tell.

[size=13pt]Is the iPhone about to get a little brother? Cheaper and smaller model is 'due out this summer'[/size]

Apple is working on a new version of the iPhone which will be smaller and cheaper than current models, a source close to the company has revealed.

Bosses hope the new phone will slow down Google’s progress as the biggest software provider in the smartphone market with its Android platform.

According to sources at Apple, the company has built a prototype which will cost as little as $200 without a contract, compared with the latest iPhone 4 at $625.

Phone users on tighter budgets have been shunning the pricey iPhones in favour of less expensive models which have Google’s popular Android software. Apple will now hope to lure away customers from the likes of Nokia.

New phone will be a smaller version of the iPhone 4 and is a separate release to the iPhone 5

Feeling Suicidal? Karoshi By YoYo Games Now In The Android Market

Another game hit that was previously available only as a Flash game on PCs is now on Android, and its premise may surprise you. Mr. Karoshi, who happens to be an "overworked Japanese salaryman" is feeling suicidal. Your job? Finish him off.



The puzzle game features dark humor (no kidding?), 50 levels, a mini game, and is actually quite a bit of fun. Check out the trailer below – it shows off the Karoshi quite well:

Make Your Clock Widget: Because Everyone Should Have A Totally Customized Clock

The open-endedness – particularly, the customizability – of Android is exactly what makes me love it so much. And Make Your Clock Widget is a perfect example of that, offering seemingly infinite possibilities for what you can create. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the sample screenshots:









Intrigued, I took a few minutes to play with it, and came away hugely impressed (note: I didn’t include a picture of my final clock because… well, I made a goofy clock just playing around with the app.)

LG Optimus 3D Is A Beast – Scores Almost 3000 In Quadrant, Higher Than Any Other Stock Android Smartphone

Earlier today at MWC, LG officially unveiled its most powerful upcoming smartphone – Optimus 3D. We’ve already heard of Optimus 3D before, and even witnessed both decent and disastrously cheesy ads LG put out for ahead of the release, but what we didn’t know is that the Optimus 3D would end up the most powerful smartphone currently on the market.



Not only is the phone powered by a 1GHz TI OMAP4 dual-core processor (which seems to be just as beefy, if not beefier than Tegra 2), but it’s also world’s first dual-channel and dual-memory Android smartphone to aid those 2 cores and squeeze every last bit of juice out of them.

The LG Optimus 3D packs exceptional features with performance in mind, including an advanced dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture.

Equipped with a 1GHz OMAP4 dual-core processor and four times more video decoders than competing designs, the LG Optimus 3D doubles the graphics performance of its nearest competitor allowing users to enjoy superb performance while web surfing, running applications and enjoying multimedia content.

In addition, the LG Optimus 3D provides the world`s first full 3D experience covering the full spectrum from recording to viewing and sharing 3D content.

It features a dual-lens camera that enables users to capture any moment in true 3D which can then be viewed immediately on the 4.3-inch WVGA glasses-free display.

Multiple connectivity options including HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices.

So, how does the new architecture fare against the competition? Not too shabby, I’d say – according to LG, the Optimus 3D scores a mind-bending 2958 in Quadrant – the highest out of any stock Android setups we’ve ever seen. Phone Arena took the phone out for a spin at MWC to do a real-world test of their own and got about 2800 points, which is still the largest number to show up on a non-modified device.

Note: I’m using the word stock here to mean non-modified manufacturer-installed software, as opposed to stock AOSP Android.

For comparison, Phone Arena also tested the LG 2x which scored 2700 or so and the Galaxy S II, which got a measly 1950, probably resulting from Samsung’s constant woes around using an unoptimized filesystem, which required all kinds of lagfixes in the past (although, if the filesystem is in order, then the S II has other problems we don’t know about yet).

In addition to the insane performance, Optimus 3D’s glasses-free 3D playback and recording of 3D videos leave me with just one word: WANT.

For the happy ending, LG provided us the following cheery Optimus 3D videos – feast your eyes and pray that your favorite carrier gets it soon:

Guys,

I was surprised at nokia's decision to go with MS WP7 reminded me of NAS and JayZ after all the beefing between both giants NAS ended up working for JayZ. I was with Windows mobile for a long time before switching to android. And I can reliably say that am staying for a long time and that android will continue to rule for a long while even sef if Job IPhone 10/2 or Nokia+MS WP7 join body them can't fit. Google strategy of freedom for all was a killer blow to them all OS wise then came the range of devices them jaburata. You just can't beat that combination of market approach. Google Android is too much!!!

Headset Button Controller: Those of you with buttons in your headphones may find this app quite useful.
Headset Button Controller is a small application that turns the headphone button to a remote control for your music player.

* double press: next track
* triple press: previous track
* long press [configurable]: fast forward [*] / start voice command / start voice search
[*] probably not every player is supporting the fast forward mode – HTC player does
It was designed for the HTC music player (Sense) on my HTC Desire, but could work for others as well. It depends on if the player is implementing the standard android commands correctly. Please let me know on which devices / music players it’s working.
