Not content with letting HTC get all the attention this morning, Nokia has fired off a vague invitation teasing a Lumia update in our near future. Not much is known … Continue reading
For the past few weeks we have been hearing rumors that Nokia has a couple of Lumia devices up its sleeve. There have been many leaks but so far the company hasn’t said if it has plans of launching any new devices. Just last month at the Mobile World Congress it launched the Nokia X lineup, its first crop of highly forked Android powered phones. Today, Nokia has confirmed an event that will be held as part of Microsoft’s BUILD 2014 developer conference. Nokia promises that it has “some treats lined up” for us on April 2nd, 2014.

Nokia does seem to be a company that has a great love for colors – otherwise, they would not have called its previous update the Nokia Black update, and this time around, it is widely believed that Nokia could refer to the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 update as “Blue”. It does make sense, too, considering how the GDR2 update to Windows Phone which was introduced to the masses in 2013 alongside its accompanying firmware update was known as the “Amber” update.

China has a reputation for keeping some of the most popular internet services out of its country. The sheer size of it makes it a very lucrative market. Even if they aren’t blocked, some services voluntarily keep away from the country. With global music streaming revenues on the rise, the People’s Republic seems like the market to target. That’s exactly what Nokia MixRadio is going to do, its actually the first global music streaming service to launch in the country that complements its Great Wall with a Great Firewall.
Nokia MixRadio will be available in China later this week. It hopes to target the over 80 percent of internet users in the country, a figure that comes in a tad above 500 million people, all of which access the internet through a mobile device. Its definitely one of the largest individual markets in the world for music streaming, larger than any of the other 31 markets MixRadio is available in.
If you’ve never heard about Nokia MixRadio, its a music streaming service that’s quite similar to Pandora, Spotify and the nascent Beats Music. Even though some of its competitors are well established, none of them service China, which means that MixRadio has got a huge advantage over all of them.
In order to push its music streaming service in the country, Nokia has tapped popular Chinese musicians like Khalil Fong, DJ Wordy and Tia Ray to curate playlists of hit local music.

Nokia X Review: Windows Phone Maker Does Low-Cost Android Surprisingly Well
Posted in: Today's ChiliNokia’s weird foray into Android is the Nokia X, a small, affordable smartphone that uses Google’s mobile OS, painted up as though it were almost a Windows Phone software variant.

Given how advanced smartphone cameras have gotten these days, it is possible to take photos and videos which are of excellent quality. Of course it cannot be compared to high end professional cameras, but we reckon it is more than decent for personal use as well as for enthusiasts.
In the past we’ve seen how phones like the iPhone 5s was used to film a Burberry fashion show, and now it seems that for the 10th edition of their magazine, UK fashion magazine, Centrefold, has decided to do away with their more expensive cameras and shoot the entire issue using the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Most countries have more or less given their blessing for the Microsoft/Nokia deal to proceed, but as it stands, India is one of the countries that is still standing in the way of the deal being approved. The reason is apparently due to tax that the Indian government claims Nokia owes them.
The deal could proceed, but only if Nokia is willing to fork out a huge amount of money to pay back the taxes they alleged owe the government, but until they do, the Chennai-based factory owned by Nokia will be held by the Indian government. (more…)
