The deduplication tools that many of the app developers use to create more reliable application developing platforms might be excellent for the development of third party software for mobile devices. However, when third party apps are developed for the use of genuine devices by a company as big as Microsoft, one might simply expect the best. And this is what happened as a result of the agreement between Microsoft and Nokia. The current Symbian devices of the Finish phone-maker will be soon furnished with genuine Mircosoft Office apps that would make phones such as Nokia N8 and E7 the ultimate office devices.

The past few months have been incredibly interesting when we look upon the mobile market - high profile manufacturers such as Nokia, HTC, Samsung, Apple and Sony have provided us with a range of new mobile devices and tablets that would change the mobile world in the incoming year. However, there was a shiny member of this huge range of mobile devices which impressed the mobile technology world more than any other - and this is the newest Microsoft-Nokia smartphone - the Lumia 900, which firstly announced in the US, is now making its way to Europe.
Smartphones are becoming more and more an important part of our lives these days and choosing one can be difficult. Much of the decision will depend on the features packed into the phone and whether or not you believe that you will need them. The new ZTE Orbit is a new Smartphone on the market and it is making some waves. Here is a bit about this awesome phone and its features.
Google Android has become a hot cake in virtually all the mobile phone markets in the world these days. One of the telecom giants that benefited from the recent popularity of Android is Samsung. Counting on the success of its numerous flagship phones, Samsung has launched Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250. Galaxy Nexus has been jointly developed and brought to the market by Samsung and Google. This is also the reason why it is the first phone equipped with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update.
After having slipped off from its flagship position due to market’s invasion by several Android phones and iPhone, Nokia has been in a desperate need to revamp its product line. As a result of this desperate need, here is present the newcomer, Nokia Lumia 800, which brings over the legacy of Nokia’s N series. With this phone, Nokia would possibly like to delve back into the market and being talked about again at every display stand.
Smartphones have provided us a variety of different ways in communicating. They have been well received and now just about 50% of all mobile use is conducted via Smartphones. They are very useful and the large screens enable internet browsing to be easy and efficient. The ability to share files, watch video and movies, play games, email, work and much more has made the Smartphone the must have commodity for the new decade. Yet some of the functionality leaves a lot to be desired.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro bears a resemblance to its bigger brothers and sisters, and that is meant literally. It is a Smartphone but it is the smallest Android OS phone on the market. Not everyone wants a giant screen on their phone understandably because it can make talking difficult. The Xperia Mini Pro therefore dispenses with that and opts for a smaller more compact design. Unlike last year’s X10 Mini Pro, the Xperia comes with a faster operating system and a more up to date version of Android.
So is it worth buying one? Well at £240 sim free, the Mini Pro could be considered a bargain when compared to the more expensive options on the market. Yet there are some technical difficulties to contend with. The firmware is not 100% full proof and there can be some slowdown and glitching on occasion. The camera is not the best and for anyone keen on taking photos this can be quite annoying. The small screen will almost seem like a throwback to those used to large icons and colours. Yet compact design is exactly what Sony intended so it seems churlish to complain about a small screen.
On the plus side document scanning services are made available via one of the numerous apps available on the phone. This can be particularly useful to anyone using the phone for business as the function allows you to store and upload thousands of documents direct from the phone. Having access to a cloud based storage service is particularly useful for this function. Other good things include a slick user interface with a slide out QWERTY keyboard that makes texting and typing more efficient. The software as mentioned is the latest version of Android. Known as %u2018Gingerbread'it does have much better functionality then the previous version and has allowed Sony to incorporate their own shortcuts which make navigation very easy.
Overall the Xperia Mini Pro is perfect for those who want a smaller phone with the same functionality as a normal Smartphone.
You can find the latest version of the iPhone operating system on iTunes. Last night when I was working on the Roller Banners for my company, I came across a link to download the latest version of iPhone. So I went ahead and downloaded it. After playing with my new iPhone for a few hours, here is my review.
The Good:
It has an enhanced camera. The performance of the camera on iPhone 3G3 is much quicker, it is faster More
The modern smart phones are all beginning to blur into an oneness. With so many iPhone clones appearing on the market it’s becoming an oddity to see a phone that also has a keyboard. Motorola have taken note of this gap in the market and their latest offering promises the best of both worlds. The Droid 3 (which has only just been released in the US and isn’t due in the UK until later in the year) boasts Google Android 2.3 and Gingerbread as part of its software package. Does it live up to the hype though?
With the specs that it boasts you would expect nothing less then the best interface and software and at first glance the phone looks very swish. It feels nicely heavy in the palm of your hand and has a metal frame which means that if you drop it then it is unlikely to break – Motorola really want to live up to their TV ads. More
Are you looking for a phone with excellent mobile gaming? I would encourage you to check out the new Xperia Play Android Smartphone (also known as the Playstation phone). It truly brings mobile gaming to a new level. So I went jogging the other day in my compression shorts and decided to stop in and buy this phone. Here is my review:
Sony made the phone look pretty classy but when you pick it up you realize how bulky it More
