Nokia Store update for S60 3rd Edition phones

Anyone with a S60 3rd Edition phone might like to dive into the Nokia Store today, as there’s a client update – there are no obvious changes, so presumably it’s bug fixes and tweaks to fit in with Nokia’s Store servers. But, as always, best to stay up to date. Screen proof below.

Apple details 2010 presentation to Samsung on Android patent infringement, licensing offer

Apple reveals 2010 presentation to Samsung on Android patent infringement, licensing offer

As the battle between Samsung and Apple closed out another week in US District Court, lawyers for the latter focused its argument on evidence and testimony covering a presentation Apple made to Samsung in 2010, and its offer to license the patents. AllThingsD has the deck of slides from the meeting (embedded after the break), specifying areas and specific patents Apple believes Android as an OS infringes or things Samsung specifically copied elements from, plus a report on testimony from Apple executive Boris Teksler. He testified today about the meeting with Samsung, calling it a “trusted partner” (should be, since Apple paid it paid $5.7 billion for parts that year) that both Tim Cook and Steve Jobs spoke to directly about the issue.

While more information is expected from Teksler next week, he did have time to put a dollar amount on the licensing deal Apple subsequently offered, at about $30 per smartphone and $40 per tablet, as well as royalties also collected from phones running Symbian and Bada, with the possibility of a 20 percent discount if Samsung would cross license its own technology back to Apple. The companies are restricted by Judge Koh to 25 hours each to argue their points (Apple is at 11 and a half hours while Samsung has crossed over 12 with its own arguments yet to come) but we’re sure there’s enough time left for a few more revelations before any resolution is reached.

As the buzz around Enterprise Mobility intensified, new mobility platforms emerged including Google s Android, Apple s iPhone/iOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile as well as others. Many security features available in the emerging mobility platforms are derived from the existing OS of BlackBerry.

Nokia surprises with new E710 Communicator

A Sunday, and April 1st at that, is an unusual day to launch a flagship product, but Nokia has done this with the new E710 Communicator. Seemingly incorporating some of the best bits of both the N8 and E7, we have, at last, a smartphone that we’ll leave no Symbian fan dissatisfied. Press photos and specifications are all shown below.

Samsung says its the No.1 Smartphone brand in India


When I was checking out some news sites ,  I noticed an unusual thank you banner and the Samsung logo and decided to check it out. It took me to a landing page which is a thank you page for Samsung mobile users. Samsung says that it is currently the No.1 Smartphone brand in India according to the promo. It is quoting a GfK nielsen India Retail Store Audit Report for mobile phones in 50,000+population towns in November 2011. Samsung claims to have a market share of 37.9% in Smartphones in that month for that particular segment.
We all know the Galaxy S2 sold like hot cakes ever since launching in June 2011. Now the Galaxy Note is also gaining some popularity.Symbian has been the most popular operating system for several years now but with Nokia going with Windows Phone ,  Symbian has been losing market share pretty fast but Nokia is still the leader in the Indian mobile space in terms of overall market share.
And Dear Samsung , we can see the Galaxy Nexus in the promo above but not in stores ? WHY ?

… but what a camera

Onlyfoolsandmobiles has a nice little Sunday post up, eulogising the Nokia N8’s camera (again), specifically for landscape shots, giving a few tips on settings and showing off some truly beautiful examples. Click through his links for Flickr sets from the N8 by other users too.

Review: RamInfo

Yes, yes, I know the OS is supposed to handle RAM for me. And, on the whole, it does a fine job. But I wish Nokia/Symbian would trust me with the salient statistic of how full my phone’s RAM is. It’s a statistic that only an uber-geek would want, but then that’s me. In the past I’ve installed task managers or file managers, just for an incidental RAM reporting menu option, but this is much easier. One tiny and simple (and free) widget and I can now see exactly how much RAM is left with once glance at my home screen.
