Today Nokia has silently released a video showing off a teaser of what's to come at Mobile World Congress 2012, in it several panning shots on fabulously high definition photos. This teaser shows off what they're saying is "Pure View" for a future smartphone we must assume, as Nokia's big drive this season has been and will continue to be Windows Phone hero devices. Perhaps it's time to bring the big 12 megapixel cameras in to the UK and the USA on smartphones finally? We'll see in less than a week! Read The Full Story

This year it appears that they’re rolling out the details piece by piece on a special MWC 2012 events page, complete with a countdown meter.

Mix nixed for 2012, event merger oncoming

, Jan 24th 2012 Discuss [0]

The folks at Microsoft have announced today that they'll be doing away with the yearly MIX developer conference starting this year in favor of moving it up and into a new developer conference later in the year which they will be announcing soon. What we're perhaps looking at here is a hope that the Windows Phone community will have grown to an equitable level by then given the popularity of the Nokia devices released early this year, but as Microsoft says, the Web Community being no longer separate from the developer community as it has been in the past makes for a better conference in a single form in the future. This means that there will, barring disasters before then, be a conference at the end of 2012 instead of any earlier. Read The Full Story

, Nov 16th 2011 Discuss [6]

This week at the “These Go To Eleven” event in Los Angeles, California, Google has revealed that they will begin digital sales of music through the Android Market with Google Music.
