Here in Finland we have three major operators: Elisa, Sonera, and DNA. Elisa has the biggest/best network, Sonera is decent, and DNA is small, but is growing fast. Last month, on the first of February, Nokia’s Lumia 800 finally went on sale in the country that it calls home. At the time I tweeted: “The…
The Next Web has an intriguing article on the rumored retina display of the iPad 3 and the problem it may pose to developers. Author Matthew Panzarino goes into considerable detail about the extra resolution of the iPad 3 screen and how it will increase the size of graphics used in apps. The increase could…
Motorola Mobility wants to play a stronger role in the enterprise business. Traditionally aiming the majority of its Android devices toward mainstream consumers, the company is now looking for ways to lure business folk in. It’s offering up to $200 to any person or business that trades in a smartphone — namely an iPhone or…
