Wave of New Windows Phone Apps Announced At CTIA
Nokia has announced a wave of new app releases, some of them exclusive to the Windows Phone platform, at the CTIA Wireless show currently underway in New Orleans, USA.
Microsoft has been pushing hard to attract new and existing developers to create apps for Windows Phone, and the steady increase to 80,000 available apps in the Windows Marketplace shows their efforts are succeeding.
Add in the pull of Nokia’s excellent Lumia phones, and it appears quite a few brands are eager to let the pair exclusively host their apps for a set amount of time.
Probably the biggest announcement comes from Rovio, who has confirmed it’ll be bringing Angry Birds Space to Windows Phone soon. No exact date was provided, sadly.
Electronic Arts will be adding a large number of games to the Marketplace, most of which appear to be ported over from other platforms, including FIFA, Mirror’s Edge, Madden NFL, NBA Jam and Tiger Woods PGA Tour.
Moving away from gaming brings us to PayPal, who has been developing a payment app ready for Windows Phone which will use a Live Tile to provide up-to-date account information.
Nokia has secured exclusives from sports network ESPN, whose app will display scores on a Live Tile, plus a separate Fantasy Football app too, both of which will be only available on Lumia phones until May 2013.
Golf fans will be treated to a PGA Tour app in June, where it will remain a Lumia app until this time next year, plus we can expect a Groupon app, an AOL Entertainment Hub featuring radio, movies and music, and finally, the motoring social network Tripdots too.
Release dates for all these apps appear to be between now and early summer, and the exclusives are another good reason to choose a Lumia Windows Phone.

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Apple iPhone 4S
This week saw the unveiling of Samsung’s flagship new handset, the Samsung Galaxy S3. Following last month’s announcement that Samsung have overtaken Nokia as the world’s largest mobile manufacturers – they shipped 93 million phones in the first quarter of 2012 – the S3 looks set to cement their position as market leader. It also lands a considerable blow to their nearest smartphone rival, the Apple iPhone 4S.
Apple’s next release is thought to be the iPhone 5, but this isn’t expected until the end of summer at the earliest. This means the iPhone 4S will have to hold its own against the mighty Samsung Galaxy S3 deals for the best part of 2012. But has the current iPhone got what it takes to compete with Samsung’s new smartphone behemoth?
Under The Hood
A quick look at internal specs show just how powerful both handsets are. Running on a 800 MHz dual-core Apple A5 processor, and with 512 MB of memory, the iPhone 4S has impressed us with its smooth user experience, fast processing speeds, and ease of multitasking. It would appear, however, that the dual core processor may soon be out-dated, as quad-core processors begin to infiltrate the smartphone market. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is at the forefront of the quad-core revolution, packing in a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor to make it one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. The Galaxy S3’s 1GB of memory also trumps the iPhone 4S’s 512 MB, making it both powerful and lightning fast. Weighing in at just 133g, all this power is concealed in a package that is 7g lighter than the iPhone, meaning you can carry around one of the most powerful smartphones in the world, without even noticing it’s in your pocket.
Does Size Matter?
The success of Samsung’s recent smartphone/tablet hybrid, the Samsung Galaxy Note proved one thing – smartphone users like a big screen. From games to browsing to watching videos, people like to see their multimedia on large shiny HD display. Samsung have taken note (no pun intended), and beefed the Galaxy’s screen from the 4.3 inches of the S2 up to an impressive 4.8inches for the S3. The screen itself has been pushed closer to the edge of the handset, resulting in a much larger display without drastically increasing the size of the phone, and dwarfing the 3.5 inch display of the iPhone 4S.
As well as the size of the screen, a pin sharp HD resolution also adds to the desirability of any smartphone, and both handsets hold their own in this particular arena. The awesome Retina display of the iPhone 4S packs in a 326ppi pixel density, which offers a screen as clear as crystal. Not too far behind is the Samsung Galaxy S3, with a 306ppi pixel density on its new Amoled screen (for any acronym fans, that stands for Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), which also offers a striking HD display. With the both handsets offering such stunning visuals, the sheer size of the Galaxy S3’s screen really does make the most of its high resolution display, and we’ll be surprised if the new iPhone doesn’t appear with an extra inch or so in the screen department.
You Talkin’ To Me?
No cutting-edge smartphone is complete without its own array of unique features and innovations. The main talking point of the iPhone 4S was the inclusion of Siri, which utilises voice recognition software to carry out a range of functions, as well as using the phone’s internet access to answer questions spoken by the user. Committed to keeping up with the neighbours, The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with a new voice activation interface dubbed as S Voice. While this may not be as advanced as Siri, it does allow spoken instructions to activate many of the phone’s functions, such as playing music, sending texts or emails, and taking photographs.
But the Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn’t just know when you’re talking to it, it also knows when you’re looking at it. The 1.9 megapixel front camera also comes with eye-recognition software, which means that the phone won’t lock or go dark so long as it can see you’re looking at it. Whether this will turn out to be a useful innovation or a battery draining annoyance remains to be seen, but it proves that Samsung are committed to staying on the cutting edge of smartphone advances. Read on how the Apple iPhone 5 technology may change everything.
Head to head
With the Galaxy S3, Samsung have proved once again why they’re dominating the smartphone market, and have delivered a product that will be valuable in retaining their crown. The Galaxy S2 was one of the bestselling handsets of the past year, and we’ll eat our quad-core processor if the S3 doesn’t follow the same trend. With a range of impressive specs and new innovations, the new iPhone release later this year has a lot to live up to if Apple are to match the high benchmark set by Samsung with the Galaxy S3.

Camera Experts Carl Zeiss Extend Exclusive Relationship with Nokia
Camera lens maker Carl Zeiss has had a long and illustrious partnership with Nokia already, and an announcement has just been made that the relationship is set to continue for several more years.
Carl Zeiss lenses have been found on many of Nokia’s best camera phones, including the N95, N82, the N8 and the latest 808 PureView, equipped with a show-stopping 41 megapixel camera.
Nokia’s vice president of smart services, Jo Harlow, said Carl Zeiss was a “crucial partner in the creation of the first PureView experience,” and that we should expect “more PureView innovation and further enhancements in smartphone imaging in the coming months and years.”
The new deal between the two companies will see Carl Zeiss work exclusively with Nokia, and although PureView technology is currently only found on a single device, it’s expected that we’ll see a similar camera on a Nokia Windows Phone in the future.
Launched at Mobile World Congress, the 808 PureView will go on sale in certain markets later this month, before arriving in the UK before the end of June. It has a 4-inch touchscreen, 16GB of internal memory, NFC and uses Nokia Belle as its operating system. The phone’s standout feature is the 41 megapixel camera, which also shoots 1080p video and has a xenon flash.
Nokia recently produced a special video promoting the 808 PureView, which was shot using the device itself.

Samsung Ships Into Smartphone First Place
Like everything covering the world by the millions and constantly changing shape, mobile phones are evolving. And the smaller, smarter species have taken over from the clumsy giants of yesteryear. Once upon a time Motorola ruled over a world of giant bricks. Then, Nokia dominated a dumbphone world, a rich carpet of thousands of different charging cables foresting the floor near electrical outlets, blowing away the ancient voiceboxes with texts and LCD screens and lots of other things which we swear sounded modern back then. But in 2012 it’s the time of the smartphone, and Samsung have finally wrestled the crown away from the Finnish giant.
Research firm Strategy Analytics reports that the South Korean company shipped a record-breaking 93 million phones in the first quarter of 2012, beating Nokia by ten million units , thanks mainly to its Galaxy models. The smartphone race has devolved into a battle between Apple’s all-or-nothing iPhones and the open-source of Android. And in what’s either a deeper truth or a total parody, Samsung utterly dominates open-source. The Samsung Galaxy has become the iPhone-alternative, with everyone from HTC to Windows Phone scrambling to catch up.
Whether you choose Samsung or not, it’ll help you get a better phone. A focal point for the not-an-iPhone option brings big brand pressure against Apple, and that’s normally its main weapon, so it’ll have to make sure its yearly iterations do more than add a new number to the phone and hundreds of pounds to the price. And Samsung are still fighting against an army of other Androids, which is the plot of several science-fiction movies and a great way to drive innovation.
Samsung also enjoy a counter to the hardcore Apple fanbase. Dedicated open-sourcers will always ‘root’ their phones to rewrite the software, and while that might annoy the networks who’ve installed all sorts of official limitations, we mustn’t forget that it still equates to the exact same number of sales for Samsung, regardless of what people do to their devices. In fact, this possibly results in even more sales, as unofficial experimentation always runs the risk of wrecking a handset – meaning another sale, and more software for everyone to use on the road to better performance.
