What would you do for a Lumia?

Published by Paul Coombes on August 24, 2012

 

We often see interesting initiatives on our social channels, like followers who shoot 3D photos with their phone or photograph the moon with custom-made accessories. But when Damien tweeted the following, we knew this was on another level:

“@Nokia I will let you paint my car for a Lumia 900. I am serious.” – @skooal – aka Damien, from Wexford

Well, how could we resist such temptation? To physically haul ourselves to the beautiful Emerald Isle (the country itself is reason enough to go!) and jazz up the car of one of our fans, was just too much of a mouth-watering prospect to resist. So, after a few weeks of meticulous planning, hours of poring over top-secret blueprints and a million cups of coffee, we are ready to unveil Damien’s new Lumia car!

The result looks pretty cool too, I’m sure you’ll agree! And if you live in Ireland, you might come across the car yourself (Damien drives from Wexford to Dublin every day). If you do, make sure you take a picture, send it to us on @Nokia and let us know what you would do for a Nokia Lumia! But remember, don’t tweet and drive at the same time (or use your phone at all – unless of course you’re using a hands-free kit. Safety first.)

The lucky winner with his amazing Nokia Lumia combo!

A few tweets later, Damien is cruising along the Irish roads, Nokia Lumia style!

What would you do for a Nokia Lumia? How crazy would you go in order to get your hands on one? Let us know in the comments section or on Twitter and who knows, you might be involved in our next exciting project!

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

Dorada Software Updates Popular iOS Podcasting Application

AppId is over the quota London, United Kingdom – Dorada Software today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of the 2.0 update to the popular “RSSRadio” podcasting application. RSSRadio allows users to subscribe, download and listen to podcasts on both the iPhone and iPad. “With the recent release of Apples “Podcasts” application the bar has been raised for look and feel in these kind of apps and its harder to stand out from the crowd” says Daniel Broad, owner of Dorada Software. Daniel further explains “Competing on features can often be the a default choice, but I decided to go the extra mile and invest in a professionally designed user interface, concentrating firstly on the iPhone but for iPad also. I think RSSRadio now looks great, and is even easier to use.” RSSRadio 2.0 is available today on the App Store, in both a free and paid version. Both versions have advanced features such as: * Push notifications for new episodes * Location based background downl...

Android apps coming to Windows Phones?

There’s a weird rumor going around the Interwebs, suggesting that Microsoft may allow Android apps to run on Windows Phones. Something like that would quickly increase the app count for Microsoft’s mobile platform, but there are downsides as well. For one thing, this could entice developers to skip “regular” native development for Windows Phone. It’s a tricky choice. On one hand, the Redmond giant could benefit in the short term to have all those Android apps and games available on Windows Phone handsets. On the other hand, they could pretty much face extinction from the mobile game, with Windows Phone pretty much turning into yet another Android launcher. So no, we don’t think Microsoft will allow this to happen. At the same time, it may not stop other companies from pursuing this opportunity. Think BlueStacks, the company that already allows Android apps to run on Windows computers. Perhaps these same guys/gals can enable the same functionality on Windows Phones. We doubt the Redmon...
