Yesterday Nokia send us their new flagship device: the N8. After all, we are in the N8 Commercial. So now we can see how our software runs on the device and what we can do with it.
I have to say, my first impression of this phone is much better than I’d expected. After their N96 debacle and the in my opinion slow and buggy first generation S60 Touch devices, this one feels snappy and made for touch. A more thorough review will follow later.
There is a Nulaz iPhone update waiting to be downloaded in the appstore. With this new version, you can check in on Foursquare places, and it has an improved Augmented Reality engine.
We have added pictures to chats, and we have fixed some bugs. Notably at the messages, there were some issues (kuch..) that we have fixed.
As we said in our last blogpost, we applied TopoTutor to the Apple AppStore as well. This weekend we received the message from Apple that TopoTutor is now available in the AppStore! So now you can learn the topography of the Netherlands on your Android device, iPhone, iPod Touch and even on your iPad.
The gameplay is basically the same as TopoTutor for Android, if you like to know what you can expect from the application, see our previous blogpost. The only difference is the Multiple choice mode: on Android you press the ‘answers’-button, on the iPhone you can press on Dr. Schlümpfi himself to get the list with possible answers! We wish you all the best luck to become a master of the topography of the Netherlands!
The past couple of weeks we’ve been working on an application that will help learning the topography of the Netherlands and now it’s finally live: TopoTutor for Android! And may we introduce to you: Dr. Schlümpfi, our dedicated professor who will guide you through the application and will help you if you get stucked with a question. And of course, he will give you the right answer if you screwed it up, so you will learn something for the next time.
Remember KiloMeter Registratie? The smart and simple application with which you can keep track of your business and private mileage and register it to Google Calendar? We got BIG news for you! Now the app is available for Nokia also! So if you didn’t get it earlier because you don’t have an iPhone, now you can have it on your Nokia!
Every now and then, people and things need something to make them look fresh again. That’s what we did with the Nulaz homepage. Because we are not loading the map anymore on the homepage, it also loads a lot quicker.
We hope you all like it; do notice what the Android button says when you hover over it. We’ll keep you posted on that one!
Will Microsoft be able to deliver something innovative for a change? We like Microsoft for giving us one of their Windows 7 Phones, but only if it actually is worth something to us. We like the ideas behind their mobile interface design, but it all comes down to the actual implementation of these ideas into something nice and comprehensive. It is supposed to arrive sometime this month, so we are waiting eagerly.
If you do an image search for iPhone 4 in Google, you’ll need to scroll to page 6 to get a crappy image of the new device. On Bing and Altavista (old scool) – the iPhone 4 is shown properly on the first page. Is this a quirk in their algorithm or does Google just not like to show fancy pictures of the biggest Android competitor?
