Nokia Lumia 920 PureView camera hands-on vs iPhone 5
The Nokia Lumia 920 has been marketed as a beast in the smartphone camera universe, and today we’re having a peek at how it stands up against the iPhone 5. Nokia has marketed the Lumia 920, their top-class hero for Windows Phone 8, as having PureView imaging technology and a lovely Carl Zeiss lens to make it all click at 8 megapixels. Apple’s iPhone 5 also has 8 megapixels under the hood and calls its amalgamation of technology “iSight” – with a reminder that the iPhone lineup has had the most popular camera in the world for several years running, even IF there are better cameras out there.
Windows Phone 8 will “really ramp quickly” insists Ballmer
Windows Phone 8 will "really ramp quickly" now that Nokia, HTC, Samsung and others are onboard, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has insisted, though he conceded that the platform is "still relatively small."

AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 Review
With the Nokia Lumia 920 we’ve been promised a hero device for Windows Phone 8, and indeed it has been defended several time before its release by Nokia and Microsoft – in so many words. But is Nokia’s Nokia’s brand power enough to make us believe the hype? This is supposed to be a “fundamental shift” right along with the wave of Windows 8 touchscreen devices that are currently on their way to retail stores and homes right this minute – is it time for Nokia to shine?
Smart device specs are over, long live the ecosystem
If there were ever a time when it was more evident that the software ecosystem surrounding a device was more important than the hardware inside it, it’s now. As evidenced first by the rapid rise of Samsung with their Galaxy S III vs the iPhone advertisements and the subsequent massive sales of their whole Galaxy family, then by the almost surprisingly positive reviews the Nokia Lumia 920 is receiving here at the dawn of Windows Phone 8, the importance of the software has tipped the scales. Any brand that doesn’t roll with this understanding will soon be eclipsed.
US smartphone market share slows down, Android still on top
The smartphone market is a cage match, and all manufacturers are fighting for every last percentage of market share. However, the past few months have seen little activity as far as changes in smartphone market share.

Microsoft testing its own smartphone, sources say
According to sources “familiar with the situation,” Microsoft is working with component suppliers in Asia to test its own smartphone design. This move would follow in step with its new Surface tablet/laptop hybrid, which is Microsoft’s first PC, indicating a further shift in the company’s transition toward designing products to run its software. The alleged smartphone may not head into mass production, however.
Nokia Lumia 920 PureView camera hands-on vs Samsung Galaxy S III
The Nokia Lumia 920 in its AT&T iteration has landed on the SlashGear test bench complete with PureView imaging and Carl Zeiss wide-angle optics this week – so of course it’s immediately time to test it against the Samsung Galaxy S III. We’ll be testing its camera against the iPhone 5 as well rather soon – and whatever other devices you request as well – but first it’s time to battle one of the biggest competitors Nokia has in the field. The Samsung Galaxy S III wasn’t originally pushed specifically on its photo-taking abilities nearly so much as the Lumia 920 has been, so pay close attention to how they compare in some real-world tests.
Microsoft launches Windows Phone 3.0 for OS X
For those smatterings of users who own a Mac computer and a Windows mobile, Microsoft has released the newest version of what was previously called Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac. Now just called "Windows Phone," this version 3.0 app allows users to sync their Windows Phone smartphone with their OS X machine for easy data transfer.
