The Nokia 808 PureView is not just a game-changing camera phone that lets you take great photos, but it also offers an array of options that lets you easily share those images as well. Sharing photos is just the start. Using the different outputs you can also use your 808 PureView to share videos, music and other files. At the risk of bombarding you with lots of acronyms, the device features DLNA, WiFi, HDMI, NFC, Micro-USB and let’s not forget the humble 3.5 stereo cable jack. In short, the 808 PureView’s supreme connectivity options might be just as impressive as its camera. Let’s go through some of the inputs and outputs of the Nokia 808 PureView in more detail. Together with your data connection, the WiFi connection, whether at home or a public network, is the gateway through which your 808 PureView will be able to surf the Internet, check emails, download apps and keep an eye on your social networks. WiFi also enables DLNA connectivity – this allows your phone to connect to other...

Posted in: iOS, Mobile Services, Online Services 13 hours ago by Johnny Google is on track to revamp its Search app on iOS and improve the voice search by adding Google Now-flavored recognition. The update will be available soon with no further specifics provided as to when exactly. Google Voice Search will be better at interpreting natural speech and can even give you spoken replies at times. It can check weather for you, give you cinema schedules and more. It will be a direct competitor to Siri on iOS although it won’t be able to launch apps or work with the built-in navigation in iOS 6. Also Google is bringing its Knowledge Graph outside of the US to the entire English-speaking world. Knowledge Graph combines more than 500 million people, places and things with more than 3.5 billion connections between them.

Posted in: Android, Mobile software 11 hours ago by Ian Ever been in a foreign country with no idea what a sign says? Google Translate now lets you snap a picture of it, and then translate the text. This is a great timesaver as it doesn’t need you to enter in the text to translate manually. The app runs on Android versions 2.3 and up, and allows you to select exactly what you would like translated. This is especially convenient if there is a large amount of text on the page, or more than one language in the image. Unfortunately, you have to specify which language you want translated (autodetect doesn’t work in camera mode), and not all 64 languages supported by Google Translate can use the new camera translate feature. Also, if you exit out of the camera translate interface, it doesn’t retain the image you just took and makes you start all over. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next patch. Either way, it had no problems with translating the Polish language description on our Inte...

Google’s Nexus 7 is a milestone in Android’s development, so we were all over it when it came to our office. The Nexus line gives a general heading for Android gadgets and Jelly Bean that debuted on this tab is quite interesting indeed. Unlike some previous Nexus gadgets, the Nexus 7 will probably gain a lot of traction with consumers making it even more important. The Nexus 7 packs a Tegra 3 chipset, a 7? LCD screen with WXGA resolution and a highly competitive price. We can’t understate the importance of the price – it matches the Amazon Kindle Fire, which fairly quickly grabbed 5% of the tablet market share on its own (that’s big for an Android) and it doesn’t even run a proper version of Android. The Nexus 7, however, comes from Google itself along with the latest OS (and a promise for timely updates in the future). We’ve already looked at what Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is all about, so let’s take a closer look at the hardware instead. The Nexus 7 was made by ASUS and it has done a p...

It’s the summer of great sports in London, with so many unforgettable milestones from Michael Phelps, Andy Murray, Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis and other star athletes who have made their countries proud. I met up with my friend Katie in London to check out the excitement and lend support to her on-going quest to meet Prince William. To get around the city, we turned to Nokia’s outstanding location-based apps to navigate London’s streets and transport networks while the city was at its busiest for the games. Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, Nokia Transport, Nokia City Lens and Nokia Pulse, along with our trusty Nokia Lumia smartphones, served as our travel guides. In our Day in London video diary, we show how these apps work together to solve, effortlessly and intuitively, many of the where questions we all encounter each day. In this way, Nokia is redefining the where category, providing consumers with the best resources to navigate and anticipate the world around them. Our video diary also ...
