There's a legal war going on this fine Wednesday morning, between Motorola and the German Xbox 360 - or its owners, of course, Microsoft and its other software Windows 7. Tinzen 1.0 has been released as an SDK for your download and enjoyment. Facebook will be dropping its IPO on the 17th of May for the public to go wild over. And for those of you loving the idea of next-generation ultrabooks, look no further than the Sony VAIO T11 and T13.

SlashGear Morning Wrap-Up: May 2, 2012
From Cyborgs to Project Glass: the Augmented Reality Story
Google’s Project Glass has been through the usual story arc – rumors, a mind-blowing concept demo, rabid excitement, practicality doubts and then simmering mistrust – in a concentrated three month period, but the back story to augmented reality is in its fifth decade. The desire to integrate virtual graphics with the real-world in a seamless way can be traced back to the days when computers could do little more than trace a few wireframes on a display; it’s been a work-in-progress ever since. If Google’s vision left you reeling, the path AR has taken – and where it might go next – could blow your mind.
HTC One X Review
HTC needed to hit reset on its smartphone strategy. Lulled, perhaps, by several years of leading the Android device market, 2011 brought an incredibly strong push by Samsung and a growing mismatch between the agile software users desired and the bloated, over-stylized interface of HTC Sense. The HTC One X – and the One Series it leads – is the first of the company’s attempt to reclaim its former position, a Tegra 3 toting powerhouse with a big screen, boastful camera and slick design. Still with the specter of the Samsung Galaxy S III on the near horizon, not to mention Apple’s iPhone 5, the One X needs to do more than storm the spec sheet if it’s to make the impact HTC requires. Read on for the full SlashGear review.
Apple grabs nano-SIM patent
Apple‘s nano-SIM proposals continue to cause controversy, with Nokia’s argument that its rival doesn’t actually hold any valuable patents to sweeten the deal looking premature in light of freshly-granted tray design. The patent, “Ejectable component assemblies in electronic devices” (8,145,261) was filed in 2007 and granted today, describes a system of “trays that can be loaded with removable modules, inserted through openings in the housings of the devices” that could, it’s suggested, be used for SIM cards and other identify modules. Meanwhile, more information on the Apple and Nokia/RIM/Motorola nano-SIM designs has been released by the ETSI.
Nokia Lumia 800 Review
There’s a whole lot riding on the Lumia 800. Nokia’s first Windows Phone and the handset that will usher in – so the company hopes – a new era of smartphone relevance and a turnaround in fortunes. Question is, will the Lumia 800 be Finnish enough for long-time followers as well as mainstream enough for a new audience of smartphone users. Symbian may not have been universally appealing, but at least it was unique; has Nokia sidelined its independence alongside its faithful old platform? Check out the full SlashGear review to find out.
Nokia World 2011 Wrap-up
Nokia World 2011 has come and gone, a pivotal event for the cellphone giant and one which, while not answering every question we had about the company’s Windows Phone future, at least demonstrated that it’s taking its evolution very seriously. Vincent has already shared his opinion of the show from a US perspective, highlighting the wins and near-misses Nokia made in convincing a North American audience it has legs; now it’s time for our customary Nokia World wrap-up.
Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 Windows Phone devices leaked
Before tomorrow’s big Nokia keynote in which Stephen Elop is set to drop some heavy bombs, a couple of them appear to have left the hatch a bit early. Photos here show both the Nokia Lumia 800 and the Nokia Lumia 710, both of them set to run Windows Phone in some form or another. The first of these two, the 800, is also known as the Sea Ray in previous reports, while the 710 has previously been code-named Sabre. Both devices appear to be set to launch in European markets this November with a USA launch date set for next year.
Nokia video reveals the making of the N9
With the Nokia World conference just two days away, the Finnish handset maker has released a video revealing what goes into making its gorgeous unibody Nokia N9 smartphone. Although the N9 runs the MeeGo OS and will be available only in limited markets, Nokia is expected to unveil a near identical version running Windows Phone 7.5 Mango that has long been rumored as the "Sea Ray" or Nokia 800.

Nokia N9 Review
It’s somehow fitting, running our review of the much-anticipated Nokia N9 smartphone on the eve of Nokia World 2011. The company is expected to reveal its plans for salvation, namely adopting Windows Phone, while the N9 runs what Nokia used to believe would save it, MeeGo. A splash of uniqueness never hurt any device, and the N9 has built up a vocal following, convinced MeeGo should have been the Finn’s focus instead of a deal with Microsoft. Has rarity blinded rationality, or is the N9 really a bittersweet slice of not just what could’ve been, but what should’ve been? Read on for the full SlashGear review.
Nokia World 2011: Crunchtime
It’s been quite the month for mobile, and it’s not over yet: Nokia is still yet to take the stage, following Apple and Google‘s respective plays for smartphone dominance. Next week sees Nokia World 2011 arrive in London, UK, an opportunity for the Finnish company to prove it’s not only still alive and kicking, but relevant in an increasingly competitive and fast-moving segment. Competitive is not a word you’d use to describe Nokia’s line-up over the past 12-18 months, but a close partnership with Microsoft promises to change all that. Read on to find out what to expect, and why 2011 could well be the most important year for Nokia since it gave up making rubber boots.
