The Windows Phone App store is finally catching up with iOS and Android apps, recently we saw Instagram come to Windows Phone followed by the popular game, Subway Surfers. The next app to join the Windows Phone store, which now boasts more than 200,000 apps is the official app of 500px. 500px is easily one of the most popular photography social networks and there were numerous third party applications on the Windows Phone store but not the official app. That hole has been plugged as 500px have finally launched a Windows Phone application.   Unlike the iOS or Android version, you cannot directly upload pictures to your collection right from the app which is kind of disappointing. All you can do is that you can check out various photos that are there in the site. You can view photos, comment on them or share the photos and by tapping the image, you can view details of the photo including EXIF data. You can also set a live tile that display's various pictures and you can configure your lockscreen to show images from the 500px app. The app is great and the official feature list is as follows Stay up to date on your friends' ...

Foursquare for Android updated with redesigned UI and faster performance

Foursquare for Android has been updated (v2013-12-19) with a completely new user interface that is more flatter, similar to iOS 7. Foursquare for iPhone got updated with redesigned iOS 7 look earlier this month that also added new features, but the new Android update doesn't add any new features. The official changelog just says, "All new lighter and faster version". We noticed a new Foursquare icon, a new Side bar with a circular profile picture, redesigned in-app icons and fonts, new icons for search, notifications and map view on the top and a new check-in icon on the bottom. On the top there is a free space that would show interesting things happening nearby. The home page now shows only things that are happening nearby, so you have to manually turn on the worldwide box to see what's happening worldwide. Have you updated the Foursquare app for Android? Do you like the new look? Let us know in the comments below. Download Foursquare (Free) - Android

Jolla phone goes on sale in Europe, priced at €399

0

The Finnish upstart, Jolla, has just hit another milestone and is now available for purchase in Europe. Running on the Sailfish operating system, the phone has a very interesting user interface derived from the remains of the erstwhile MeeGo project. The phone is already on sale in Finland and has been shipping to users for a few days now. Jolla's self named phone has fairly mid range specifications but that doesn't hold it back as the hardware and software are very well optimized for each other. The screen is a 4.5 inch display with a resolution of 540x960 pixels. Powering it is a 1.4Ghz dual core Snapdragon 400 processor paired with 1GB of RAM. The camera module is 8MP alongside a 2MP front facing unit. Users get 16GB of built in storage. Apart from the operating system, the device also has a back plate component called the 'Other Half' that can be swapped out for ones with more capabilities. We've already seen people hack in wireless charging capabilities and the IO port ensures that options are limited only by your imagination. Keyboards and eInk back panels are very much a possibility. Jolla plans to make Sailfish OS open source and it brings ...

Geeksphone Revolution with Intel Atom Z2560 CPU and multi-OS support coming in Q1 2014

Spanish handset maker Geeksphone has finally revealed the specifications of their upcoming high-end smartphone called Revolution. It would feature a 4.7-inch (960 x 540 pixels) capacitive touch screen IPS display, powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core  Intel Atom Z2560 processor with PowerVR SGX544 GPU and Hyper-Threading technology. Last month the company posted a video showing the performance of an Intel Atom-powered developer device compared with a Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered device, both running on Firefox OS. This would not be based on Firefox OS since it is not a Mozilla partner, but it would run on Mozilla Open Web technology Boot2Geck, which would have similar features and have access to Firefox OS marketplace. The smartphone would also have an option to switch to Android OS without losing your warranty, just like Oppo N1, which would come with an option to switch to CyanogenMod ROM from the default Color ROM. It would feature a 8-megapixel rear camera, expandable storage and a 2000 mAh battery. No word on front-facing camera, RAM or internal memory yet. It is likely to come with 3G support. The Spanish company released Firefox OS developer preview phones, Keon and Peak earlier this year, which saw limited release, so we can't expect this to roll out globally. The Geeksphone Peak ...

Samsung has sent us an invite for a smartphone launch on Monday, December 23rd, 2013. The invite just says "New GALAXY Smartphone Launch" without giving any hint about the smartphone. Since there are no new smartphones for Samsung to launch in India and it had already released the new Galaxy S Duos 2, it is likely to launch the Grand 2 next week. The Galaxy Grand that was launched earlier this year was one of the popular mid-range smartphone in this year. The Grand 2 with better display, faster processor more RAM and a larger battery would definitely attract more customers in the mid-range segment.

Oppo N1 is the first Cyanogen Mod phone to have been approved by Google's strict CTS, for compliance to Android compatibility and of course, inclusion of Google Play on this limited edition device. The Oppo N1 Cyanogen Mod Edition was announced as "coming in December" but never really got solid dates owing to the obvious roadblocks, but thanks to this recent development, Oppo has revealed that the device is shipping on Christmas Eve i.e December 24th of this year. This marks the first time in history that a popular third party AOSP ROM based phone is Google certified and is shown the green light. Cyanogen Mod's Koushik Dutta happened to be relieved about the announcement, as his G+ post read - Google just approved our first CyanogenMod  phone Man, the last 24 hours has been a total rollercoaster of emotions, and it isn't letting up it seems. Roller coaster ride indeed, because only this morning Google kicked out the super useful ROM Manager app out of the Play Store. No surprises as to who the developer is, behind that app. Google also passively kicked out the Cyanogen Mod installer out of the Play Store, citing various reasons. Amidst all this, it must be ...

Windows Phone users to get 20 GB of free SkyDrive storage for an year thanks to Microsoft

0
0
Windows Phone users have something to be extra happy about this Christmas. Microsoft is spreading around some festive cheer in the form of 20GB of free SkyDrive storage. Microsoft says that the free storage is valid for 1 year after which we presume you'll have to pay for it.  All Windows Phone users can claim their free storage till the end of January via the link that is being mailed to your primary ID attached to the phone. SkyDrive is an integral part of the extended Windows ecosystem and 20GB of free storage is nothing to sneeze at. Microsoft already gives 200GB of free storage for two years to users of the Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2 tablets. Including Windows Phone users into the mix is a good way to drive adoption for their cloud storage service. SkyDrive is also the backend for synchronizing settings across Windows devices and works surprisingly well. SkyDrive clients exist for Android, iOS and of course Windows Phone. The service can also be used on Windows PCs as well as the Mac. [Via - The Verge]

As sales plunge, BlackBerry has announced a new partnership with Foxconn to produce BlackBerry 10 devices. The five year partnership aims to launch the first device by March or April. The BlackBerry 10 based device will be introduced first in Indonesia. The company has also earmarked six or seven additional markets for the device. The device will be 3G enabled and should make its way to India as well given that the subcontinent remains a fairly major market for BlackBerry products. Shifting to Foxconn will allow BlackBerry to cutdown investments while possibly producing better hardware. All intellectual property will be owned by BlackBerry. Foxconn's responsibilities will be limited to manufacturing and working on the hardware of the devices. The cost of manufacturing will be paid to Foxconn directly by BlackBerry once production starts and costs are finalized. A clause is in place which says that Foxconn will take a portion of revenues once they exceed a certain amount. The new phone is expected to be produced at Foxconn's facilities in Mexico and Indonesia. Commenting on the deal, BlackBerry CEO John Chen had this to say, “For the foreseeable future, in North America, our designers will focus on enterprise handsets only…Most of all I’m ...
