MTV achieved quite a success with their video viewing app that rolled out in June last year, and today, MTV has the honor of being the first TV network to roll out a fully optimized TV Everywhere/authenticated viewing experience on the mobile web platform. In a nutshell, fans are able to watch full episodes and seasons of hit MTV series like “Teen Wolf,” “The Real World Ex-Plosion” and “Girl Code” directly on their slew of iOS and majority of Android devices out there in the market. Of course, this is not all, as in the months ahead, there will also be other similar experiences that will be launched for MTV’s sister brands that include VH1, CMT and Logo TV.
Other than TV Everywhere viewing on mobile web, MTV has also taken the step to relaunch show pages that will feature increased interactivity so that fans are able to interact with a show’s cast and characters. Expect even more features to roll out by MTV in the months ahead, too. Apart from all of this, MTV has achieved another TV first, being the first network to pre-release an entire season of a series exclusively on an app via authentication. Have you enjoyed your mobile MTV experience so far?

We have been hearing a lot of rumors about Nokia developing an Android smartphone, but so far no official confirmation has been made. There have been those rumors as well which claim that the project is dead due to the acquisition of Nokia’s hardware business by Microsoft. However it was recently said that speculation about the project’s death has been greatly exaggerated, and that its still under way. It seems to be, seeing how a Nokia A110 Android powered smartphone recently showed up on AnTuTu benchmark.
Now there’s not much information available about Nokia’s Android smartphone, supposedly codenamed Normandy. The benchmarks do reveal that it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 854×480 pixel resolution display, a 5 megapixel rear camera and Android 4.4.1 pre-installed. Now it doesn’t mean that the final device is bound to have the exact same specifications, but they do appear to be in line with what has been rumored over the past few weeks. Earlier today screenshots of the purported Android UI of the Normandy were leaked online. Nokia is said to be going with a highly forked version of Android OS, which would presumably have a very different design language when compared to most low-end Android smartphones. It is not know if and when Nokia plans to release the Normandy, so we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled. [Image via NPU]

There has been a lot of talk about Nokia building an Android smartphone, we have even heard theories that claim Nokia will ultimately drop the project as a result of the acquisition of its hardware business by Microsoft. With the amount of rumors frequently coming in, and even claims that the death of Nokia’s Android smartphone has been greatly exaggerated, it seems that perhaps the Finnish manufacturer just might release the much rumored device, apparently codenamed Normandy. Today the purported Android user interface this smartphone is expected to tout has been leaked online.
The screenshots come from @evleaks, who was also behind the “greatly exaggerated” bit. Skype and Viber apps are seen running in the screenshot, and one displays a lockscreen with notifications. There’s no way of saying for sure that this is the final user interface that will make the cut. It could be an earlier build from a long time ago in the development process. As per reports, the Normandy is expected to run a highly forked version of Android OS, kind of what Amazon has created for its Kindle Fire tablet lineup. There’s still no confirmation from Nokia that it is going to release the Normandy prior to the close of its acquisition by Redmond. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I am quite sure that anyone who grew up using Windows 95 all the way to Windows 2000 and beyond would have had the experience of playing with some of the more basic games on that desktop operating system – Minesweeper, Solitaire, Hearts, and perhaps Pinball. Minesweeper in Expert level often requires you to make a guess right at the end, and I swear that the game was programmed to make you lose at that point in time regardless of which square you flagged. Having said that, it proved to be an effective time killer, and we are glad to announce that Minesweeper has now made its way as a free download on both Android and iOS platforms.
The Android version of the title arrives with a similar retro 90s greyish look, although it will introduce a web leaderboard in order to keep track of how good you are in sweeping mines, not to mention featuring integration with Google Play Games. A ‘Noob’ mode has also been thrown into the mix for those who have not played Minesweeper at all in their life, where it lets you get into the game quickly. As for the iPhone version of Minesweeper, it will feature different skins, letting you choose from the classic or other colorful options, with it being able to synchwith Apple’s Game Center.
