Hasta La Gadget!

@evleaks is at it again. This time the prolific leaker has blasted out two screen grabs of an app called Storyteller, which made a Live Tile-cameo in the alleged screencap of a Nokia Bandit, an oversized Windows Phone 8 device. The app appears to be a Windows 8 and WP photo album that lets users sift through images by timeline, favorites and shared, or browse them on a map. A close look at the top right of the application meant for larger devices reveals a “My tablet” menu, suggesting it boasts integration with slates. Given that @evleaks mentions Bandit, Espoo’s long-rumored Sirius pad and October 22nd event date, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see new hardware — and at least one new app — this fall.

If you believe the rumors, Nokia was supposed to launch the supersized Lumia 1520 (aka Bandit) as soon as next week. However, this unannounced Windows Phone may have hit an unofficial snag: Reuters claims that Nokia has delayed the unveiling by “several weeks” in the wake of Microsoft’s plans to buy the company’s device business. There’s no word on an adjusted release date, although the historically accurate @evleaks has heard that the 1520 might appear in late October. Not surprisingly, Nokia isn’t commenting on delays for a product that doesn’t officially exist — but don’t be shocked if there’s a new flagship Lumia later in the fall.

While technically not the biggest Nokia news of the morning, it’s possibly news of the biggest Nokia. The ever resourceful @evleaks has posted what is claimed to be a screenshot from the Nokia “Bandit,” also suspected to emerge as the Lumia 1520. There’s a lot going on in the image, but one thing’s for sure, you’ll not be left wanting for space for mini tiles. Though even then, there are options.

Update: Upon further inspection, there are a few interesting things to note. The original image is 1,080 x 1,920 — a resolution not currently supported in Windows Phone. This corroborates claims that GDR3 will be coming along for the ride, along with a revised camera app (or icon, at least). Oh, and of course, more columns and rows for your start menu!

Do you love westerns? If you have answered in the affirmative, then I am quite sure that you would have enjoyed Disney’s The Lone Ranger that is showing on the silver screens at the moment. Heck, you might even want to get a gun of your own after that, although depending on the country that you live in, doing so might not be that easy as you would like to think. Still, there are other ways to “protect” yourself, or being a nuisance to others, and the £29.99 Bandit Guns is definitely one of them.

The Bandit Guns are made out of precision laser-cut design, where you can choose from three different modes of shooting. There is also the unspoken satisfaction deep down within when you construct your own ‘piece’, sort of like how a Jedi padawan works on his or her own lightsaber with crystal shards, where no two lightsabers are the same. With the Bandit Guns, you are able to hit your friends and colleagues with up to 10 bands in a single shot, now how about that? Just be mature enough not to point it at someone’s face and you should be good to go. What’s that? Nerf vs Bandit guns? Bring ‘em on, I say!
