RSS isn’t rocket science. And while Google Reader is gasping its last breaths—after this weekend, it’s gone forever—there’s already a veritable army of newcomers vying to replace it. There’s even a good chance one of them will be better than the dead-end Google Reader ever could have been. That’s great and all, but even the perfect RSS reader can’t fill the void. Google Reader wasn’t just a service; it was a place, and I’ll miss being there.
So long, Symbian. Nestled away in the company’s financial announcement this morning, Nokia confirmed that its pixel-punching 808 PureView phone will be the last release powered by the increasingly creaky Symbian OS. In no uncertain terms:
“The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia.”
The company still managed to sell a total of 2.2 million Symbian devices during the last quarter, half the number of Windows Phone 8 devices shifted in the same period — presumably thanks, in some way, to that as-yet unparalleled PureView camera sensor. We’ll be pouring one out (and capturing it in 38 megapixels) if you need us.
