New Nokia N9 Mini Reviews and Features
You may have heard the mentions of a Mini N9 every now and again, perhaps either when the news of Meltemi arose or later perhaps as you saw the new Asha’s with a very MeeGo-Harmattan esque swipe.
We’re told below that the new Asha’s are evolving towards becoming more N9-like. That’s no surprise really since we’ve been told plenty of times by Nokia that they’re taking a lot from the N9 and putting them towards future products. Now remember back during MWC when the design language for the new Asha series was leaked?
The source claims to have seen that product.
I have seen new Nokia Asha phone which was leaked a few weeks ago around MWC event.
The phone design looks beautiful and you can say it’s new Nokia N9 Mini version.
New features are as following:
Phone has 3 different screen.
1) Menu Screen
2) Notification Screen.
3) Application screen.
You can switch to different screen with swipe gesture. And it’s not like previous Asha phones, it’s real swipe like we have seen in N9
1) Single hardware button at front.
2) User Interface is inspired from N9 in all apps. (like clock, calendar, settings etc.)
3) Screen resolution is 240×320
4) Various controls for Touch Screen Brightness, Double Tap to Unlock.
5) In notification screen you can see notifications from various apps from like facebook, twitter etc.
6) Dual SIM, 3G, Wifi etc.
Phone runs so smoothly and fast and also play animations and transitions like we have seen in Lumia Range.
The sad thing is that the phone still do not run multiple apps

Facebook Announces New Facebook Home On Android
Facebook launched its new approach to Android, called Home, which brings a variety of Facebook features front and center on the mobile device. The company is partnering with HTC and AT&T to release the $99 HTC First device, which comes preloaded with Home. People can also download Home on certain Android devices (although it won’t have all the features): the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2, as well as the forthcoming HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.
See the live blog below:
Facebook is preparing to host an event to talk about a new Android product at the social network’s Menlo Park, Calif. headquarters today and we’re live-blogging it.Facebook has said it plans to show off its new “home on Android.” The company is widely expected to announce a new version of Android or a new type of Android app that will run on an HTC device. Speculation has focused on a “Facebook phone,” though Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has long said it does not want to get into the hardware game. The device
would include a Facebook “Home” app designed to highlight Facebook.
Facebook has been pushing hard on mobile, with Zuckerberg emphasizing Facebook as a “mobile first” company. But Facebook has been trying to keep pace with new entrants such as SnapChat, the mobile app that enables people to send messages or photos that immediately disappear.
Here we go: Mark Zuckerberg takes the stage: “We’re going to talk about that Facebook phone.” Not really. “We’re going to talk about how to make your phone a great social device.”
We spend 20% of our time on phones on Facebook, not counting Instagram, Zuck says. We spend our lives sharing. ”What would happen if our phones were designed around people not apps?” Zuck says. “Today our phones are designed around apps, not people. We’re going to flip that around.”
For example this has happened before, he says, showing the Facebook News Feed. Instead of a list of apps you get fresh content. “It gave it (Facebook) this soul… We don’t want to build a phone or operating system that some people will use,” he says. “Even if we did build a really good phone we’d only serve 1% of our community… We’re not building a phone. We’re not building an operating system.”
Android is very open, Zuck says, so you can make many changes to it. “You don’t need to fork Android to do this… Today we’re going to talk about the Home Screen of your phone.”
Zuck is showing the new “Cover Feed” of Facebook Home, with visual photos that take up the whole screen. They include new-style notifications, with a person’s name and face instead of a traditional notification. We wanted this to feel like system software, not just an app you run, he says.
Apps: You tap the bottom of the screen to see three options: Messenger, Apps and your most-recently-used app. You swipe up to get all your apps, such as Google maps, Instagram, Evernote.
Messaging: Zuck shows “chat heads” which are messages from friends that pop up as faces in circle icons from the Facebook messaging app. When you’re done you can “throw them away.” They work for Facebook messages and SMS.
Adam Mosseri, director of product, takes the stage: He’s showing a live demo Cover Feed, a the new News Feed. Each one has a full screen photo. Open Graph images show up as well. You can double tap to “Like” it. Status updates also flow through as well. You can the bottom to make a comment. It includes very simple gestures. There’s no navigation or borders, to emphasize the content and photos.
Notifications: are messages like Facebook messenges or notifications from people.Joey Flynn, product designer, is talking about Chat Heads. When someone posts an article, you can click the person’s face to see the article. On the edge of the article is the Chat Head, which shows his profile picture. If you click it you can see the discussion about the article on Facebook. Text messages and Facebook messages both use this feature. He just got a message from his roommates in a group chat… about rent.
How do you get it? You download the new Facebook app and Facebook Messenger from Google Play–but in only works on select Android devices. It’s not on tablets yet but will be in several months. System software or an operating system is usually updated once a year. We don’t think that’s fast enough. We’re going to release updates every month, he says. How are we going to build this? Will we Fork Android? No, that’s not the right way to do this, he says.

Microsoft outsmarted Windows Phone OS rings in the new
The oft-renamed Windows mobile phone platform has never matched the glitz of the iPhone or BlackBerry. But is that about to change?
Among smartphone users, Windows Phone – the handset operating system formerly known as Windows Mobile – tends to not to provoke excitement. This is a space dominated by flashy handsets such as the iPhone, now in its third incarnation – with its OS X operating system also at 3.0 after just two years – and by buzz about new operating systems such as Googles Android and the Palm Pres WebOS.
Worse, Microsoft has had to play catchup to Apple, Google, Palm and even RIM, introducing an "app store" for Windows Phone after its rivals had done so – and after insisting that nobody was making much money from Apples iPhone App Store. In January 2007, its chief executive, Steve Ballmer, dismissed the iPhone as "the most expensive phone in the world, and it doesnt appeal to business customers because it doesnt have a keyboard, which makes it not a very good email machine". In fiscal 2008/9, the iPhone sold 20.4m units – compared with an estimated 18m Windows Phone licences. (Microsoft has not given numbers for the year, but has not said they were any higher than 2007-08.)
Call for more style
In short, Windows Phone has an image problem – which has not been altered by rebranding it.
Besides the endless name changes (from PocketPC to Windows Mobile to Phone), the Windows phone platform has been regarded as a dull tool for corporations instead of a strong player in the consumer market, and its user interface has never been much to write home about. Third-party vendors have gone so far as to build their own front ends to hide its perceived ugliness, though offerings such as HTCs Touch-Flo havent always been an entirely good thing, placing a further burden on the phones CPU.
Yet Windows Phone is the determined tortoise of the smartphone world, having been around since 1996. Microsoft hopes that its next version – snappily named 6.5 – will end its reputation as a plodding also-ran and spur it to catch up with flashier hares such as the iPhone and HTC Hero.
But is it enough? Roberta Cozza, principal analyst with Gartner, says no. "Its too little, too late. WinMo has been struggling in the consumer market. 6.5 is a small improvement in the look and feel, but its not comparable with efforts from other vendors."
The irony is that what had seemed like a sure thing – aiming a mobile form of Windows squarely at the business users who had it on their desktops – has turned out to be a mistake.
At its core, the OS offers enterprise solutions such as Office apps and support for Exchange, Microsofts email and collaboration application. This has made it popular with corporate IT departments; consumers, however, have been less impressed. And the BlackBerry was already there to grab market share.
All this is changing, says James McCarthy, Microsofts business manager for mobile communications. The next release, probably in September, "pays real attention to the consumer". Certainly, the new look places it much more firmly in the arena with the iPhone and LG Viewty.
The whole interface has had a makeover, aimed at making it much more intuitive and finger-friendly. Until now, using Windows Mobile has tended to require a stylus – fiddly, easy to break and to lose – because the screens on the devices have been small and packed with information.
A lot of care has been taken with the home screen. Theres no need to drill down to an application: if it tells you you have an email, you can launch it right away.
Microsoft will also launch a series of related products, from an app store to MyPhone, an online backup service that already works well in beta.
Perhaps the most important thing for any smartphone is the ecosystem that grows up around it. Apples App Store for the iPhone registered 1.5bn downloads in its first year, and rivals quickly followed: RIM, which makes the BlackBerry, has its App World, Nokia its oddly named Ovi World, and theres the Android Market for handsets running Googles Android. "Its a battle of the ecosystems," says Cozza. "Microsoft needs to come up with a strategy around an application marketplace."
Microsoft had left the apps business to partners such as Handango, but now would argue that its doing precisely that. With its app store Windows Marketplace for Mobile (its rubbish at names), it understands that it must offer at least some apps when it launches 6.5. There will be 20,000 available, and McCarthy says "Were busy making sure that they work with the handsets – theres a ton of work going into that."
Consumer challenge
The key question is whether Microsoft can be a big player in the consumer space. The figures suggest it has some catching up to do. According to Gartner, Windows Mobile has a steady 10% or so of the OS market – competing against proprietary Sony Ericsson and Samsung systems, as well as Symbian, which runs on Nokia and some other phones, and the offerings on the BlackBerry, the iPhone, Android and Palm. Its share of the smartphone market has fallen as the iPhone has wormed its way into corporations, by licensing Microsoft Exchange so that it can handle ActiveSync push notifications and calendaring.
However, says US-based analyst Michael Gartenberg, "of course its not late to the party". He reckons that the new version of Windows Mobile will "have a lot of appeal to consumers" and that it "builds on a solid foundation". Gartenberg, vice-president of strategy and analysis at Interpret, argues that other smartphone manufacturers still cannot match Windows Mobile as a business offering.
With a Windows Mobile phone, he says, you can not only take pictures and keep up with Facebook and Twitter, you can also edit a Microsoft Word document or an Excel spreadsheet and then email it to your colleagues – which you cant (yet) do with an iPhone. Business people who need that are also consumers who want to keep up with their social networks, he notes, adding that Windows Mobile offers the best of both worlds.
Cozza concedes that Windows Mobile is "a strong platform for enterprise", but adds that for a smartphone to succeed, it needs to blur the dividing line between business and consumer users. RIM, with the BlackBerry, has done that smartly, she says.
But, counters Gartenberg, Windows Mobile already does that. What Microsoft needs to do now is to tell the story of its latest version of the system. "Theres a lot of negative perception about WinMo," he says, adding that theres everything to play for.
"Six platforms cant survive," he says. "The battle is hardly over yet. "Cozza is more cautious: "We will have to wait and see," she says.
