Here's a fun little picture. Here's a collection of Nokia phone camera sensors, from left to right: Lumia 925, 920, 800, and the ol' Nokia N97. Awesome how technology has made them smaller over the years, eh? The Lumia 925's camera sensor even has 6 lenses which is one more than the Lumia 920's sensor, but it's the same size! Need more sensor pictures! ...

Intel's foray into mobile chipsets hasnt really been as successful as some other mobile chip makers like Qualcomm and NVIDIA, atleast since Windows Mobile was around. Apparently the company had a huge missed opportunity back in the day though, one that would have easily propelled the company all the way upwards. Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who steps down today, admitted that Intel missed out on getting their c ...

With this week's announcement of a Stock Android almost-Nexus version of Samsung's Galaxy S 4, we couldnt help but wonder if Google might be running along with this idea to more manufacturers, such as HTC. A Nexus edition HTC One would be pretty fantastic, no? Well, apparently you needn't hold your breath about it. When asked about a possible HTC One Nexus Edition, an HTC representative quickly shot down th ...

Friend of the blog, Victor Johansson from ObjectsAndInteractions has always been a very creative fellow, but his latest 'project' entitled "Ceramic Stereo" really seems like something you'd expect from Nokia or Apple. And as such I figured I'd pass it along and share it with y'all. Ceramic Stereo, is one of Victor's Concepts that he turned into reality. Inspired by the 'key bowl' most of us have at home whe ...

Ironically enough, last quarter Bl ...

One thing that happened at Google I/O earlier this week that we didnt get the chance to talk about yet, was the new Google Hangout experience. Previously Hangouts were just video conferences or video chats between you and a group of people, but now the service has been updated to basically replace Google Talk (which it does on Android devices), and brings in video elements as well as photo sharing, emoticon ...

It's a beautiful spring night, and the bad piggies have learned some magic tricks -- and the first one is making the eggs disappear! Not to worry, the Angry Birds have some tricks up their sleeve... like the all new ...

We've already done a quick camera comparison between the new Nokia Lumia 925 vs the HTC One, a test which turned out to be greatly in the Lumia 925's favour. This was pretty impressive because last month we put the HTC One against the Nokia Lumia 920 and the results were pretty debatable, with both smartphones doing a pretty good job of handling low light. The Lumia 925 however, seems to be in an entirely d ...

Google announced a new 'Play Gaming Service' for Android, iOS and the Interwebs at Google I/O yesterday. The service is meant to be a cross-platform gaming service with multiplayer and achievements, kinda like Xbox Live or the game center on iOS (except that this one is cross-platform). There's cloud saves, Google Plus integration, the ability to add friends, leaderboards, achievements, match-making over Go ...

Microsoft updated their YouTube app for Windows Phone last week, finally making it an actual app and not just a link to the mobile website of the popular video service. Google has stated in the past that they wont be making any apps for Windows Phone, so this was Microsoft's way to fixing the situation. Unfortunately though, the Search Giant doesnt approve of the new app, sending Microsoft a cease and desis ...

Google has listened to millions of people's prayers, and finally given them the option of having high end hardware and bloat-free Stock Android. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical when  rumours of a Stock Android running Galaxy S4 started doing the rounds yesterday, but what do you know. Google will be selling a special edition of the (white color only, so far) Samsung Galaxy S4, that will run Stock Android, ...

The title says it all. At this year's Google I/O (which we couldn't attend, unfortunately :( ), Google's new Head of the Android (and Chrome) divisions, Sunder Pichai, had some interesting statistics. 900 Million Android device activations so far. That's a lot of devices by anyone's standards. Its comparable to the entire population of human beings on earth, in fact. More than one Android device for every t ...
