Nokia

As the India smartphone market overall grew by 229% year over year (YoY) in the third quarter of 2013, Nokia's Lumia range of devices continued to show a growth trajectory and garnered close to 5% market share. In the mobile phone market in India, Nokia is on the second spot, close on the heels of market leader – Samsung. This latest data coincides with the continued strong growth in India for Windows Phone.

According to International Data Corporation's (IDC) APEJ Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, vendors shipped a total of 12.8 million smartphones in Q3 2013 compared to 3.8 million units in the same period of 2012. While the third quarter of 2013 witnessed a slowdown in the numbers for top local vendors such as Micromax and Karbonn, Samsung and Nokia made up for close to 30% of the overall market.

For Nokia, the quarter of 2013 saw a few notable launches like the Lumia 625 and Lumia 925 which have been able to generate positive interest from consumers and developers alike.



The report suggests that the 5.0inch-6.99inch screen-sized smartphones (aka 'phablets') continued to show sustained growth in Q3 2013 as well contributing 23% in the overall market in terms of volume. That should augur well for Nokia too as the Nokia Lumia 1320 and the Nokia Lumia 1520 should come to India soon, although Nokia hasn’t announced any dates just yet.

People who were unhappy that what'sapp on windows phone can't store videos here is a news for you ->

Coming WhatsApp update will offer the ability to save received videos, other features | WMPoweruser

WhatsApp is unusual in being a company which rapidly and repeatedly updates their Windows Phone app.

WPArea.de reports on some new features found in the latest closed beta of the app.

The headline new feature is the ability to save videos received to local storage. The new update also adds the ability to send up to 10 photos at a time, being able to store profile pictures and fast deletion of old messages. In addition users can no longer increase the font size in the app, with the app now being responsive to the system-wide setting in the Settings area.

The features are expected to reach the release branch of the messaging software shortly.

Did anyone tried INSIDER application which can be used as substitute for BATTERY application. I think this is an exclusive application for Nokia mobiles. I am using it for last two weeks and its really good application which gives all details about your phone.

Below are few screenshots taken.

If you are a Viber user, here’s great news for you! The company has just announced Viber for Windows 8, bringing the leading messaging and VoIP platform with over 200 million users to tablet and desktop devices running Windows 8.1.

Viber users can send free text messages, fun stickers, photos, videos and doodles, share locations anywhere in the world, and make free HD-quality calls over 3G/4G or WiFi connections. With Viber Out users can also make low-cost calls to any phone number around the world.



Designed from the ground-up for Windows 8, the app includes several features exclusive to the platform. Apart from the obvious addition of Live Tiles and Lock screen notifications, Viber for Windows 8 has neat additions like:

Pin Viber conversations to the Start screen

Snap Viber to the side of the screen with Snap View

Search for Viber contacts using the Search charm

Toast Notifications so you don’t miss a message or call

Change languages regardless of your system language

Viber for Windows 8 and the latest versions of the Viber apps on other platforms have been designed to allow you to use Viber on multiple devices. On Viber, your phone number is your ID. When you fire Viber for Windows 8 for the first time, you need to set it up with the phone number with which you use Viber on your smartphone. The app syncs with your mobile contact list, automatically detecting which of your contacts have Viber.

“Windows 8 is an exciting platform to develop for, and brings a whole new set of UI elements and unique functionality to Viber for the first time. We are excited to support Viber users on Windows 8 and this is part of our commitment to wide, cross platform availability.”

- Talmon Marco, CEO of Viber

Download Viber for Windows 8 for free from Windows Store.
