..na szczęście na krótko Dziś od godziny ok 18.00 do jutra do 6.00 rano portal Play.pl nie będzie dostępny. Ma to związek z wdrożeniem nowych ofert oraz.. zmianami w wyglądzie strony Stary layout żegnamy.. Oczywiście Play24 będzie przez cały czas dostępne!

Uff.. to był wyjątkowo intensywny dzień. Wprowadziliśmy nowe taryfy i pokazaliśmy nową kampanię. Ciągle trwają prace nad portalem tak, żeby jutro wszystkie nowości były łatwo dostępne na Play.pl Tymczasem zerknijcie na kilka fotek z dzisiejszej konferencji!

Będzie ich kilku, ale w moim rankingu wygrywa zdecydowanie ten as – poproszono mnie o prawidłowe używanie nazwy a więc Windows Phone 8S by HTC wystąpi jutro w rolach głównych  

Even though Christmas has just come and gone, we still have a couple of awesome presents for your Nokia Lumia 920 or Lumia 820 smartphones.

Update: Grab them quickly! This offer will finish at 8PM GMT on 18/1/2013.

For a limited time, you can download two hugely popular mobile games from Disney, “Where’s My Water?” and “Where’s My Perry?” for free as they make their debut on the Windows Phone 8 platform.

Both of these titles challenge you to master the laws of physics as you embark upon a series of puzzles and adventures.

Where’s My Water?

Your task is to help friendly alligator, Swampy, get a shower following a long day in the city’s sewers.

Unfortunately, his shower is broken so you have to direct water through a maze of urban plumbing so that Swampy can get a wash.

It sounds simple but to succeed you’ll need to keep an eye out for algae, toxic ooze, triggers and traps.

This addictive game is a physics-based puzzler featuring vibrant graphics, a stonking soundtrack and over 400 levels that get harder and harder.

Where’s My Perry?

Fans of Disney’s animated TV show, Phineas and Ferb, will be familiar with Agent P. Not content with being on TV, he is now also starring in his own hit mobile game!

Agent P finds himself trapped in the sewers and you will need your mastery of physics to help him escape.

With the help of some lasers you will have to guide water in all of its various forms, such as steam and ice, to the generators that power his transportation tubes so Agent P can get out.

‘Where’s My Perry?’ features 80 puzzles to test your wit and ingenuity.

Free download

Both these superb Disney games, which have a normal selling price of £0.79p, are free to download and keep on your Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia smartphone.

This special offer is available for a limited time. Be sure that you don’t miss out!

Get ‘Where’s My Water?’ here.

Get ‘Where’s My Perry?’ here.

NB: Grab them quickly! This offer will finish at 8PM GMT on 18/1/2013.

In a world fraught with danger, it’s all too easy for our phones to meet their demise at the hands of the laws of physics and often our own carelessness. If we drop them, there’s a possibility they will break. But, we can limit the damage thanks to products such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass, found on the Nokia Lumia 920.

Additionally, if you followed much of the coverage from CES this year, you’d have noticed a company – Tech21 – promoting their wares and something named D3O. This material is what’s called a non-Newtonian material. For the most part, it’s a material that is fluid in its relaxed state. But, when a force is applied to it, it becomes solid.

Here’s a demonstration of a non-Newtonian fluid. This isn’t D3O, however. D3O is a lot less messy.

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

Tech21 have created an Impact Snap for the Nokia Lumia 920 that has been partially created using D3O. What this means is, that if you drop your Nokia Lumia 920, at impact, the phone case will toughen up and take the stress of the fall. Hopefully, resulting in an undamaged phone.

And when it comes to the Nokia Lumia 820, Nokia makes their own protective, interchangeable shells. This again stops a lot of the damage when your phone slips out of your hand and takes a tumble.

Last year, we also bought news of how Nokia is working on a Superhydrophobic solution to help protect phones against liquids.

All this is interesting and necessary if we’re to keep our phones alive for longer. But what are the best ways to protect your phone, what are the real-life dangers and have you ever damaged your phone beyond repair? We’ve got three – informal – polls to find out. Take part… now.

Once in a while there comes along a technology that has the potential to utterly transform our lives. The internet did it and so did mobile phones. Now, it looks like 3D printing could join this exclusive list. To find out more about this amazing innovation and how Nokia might use it in the future, we spoke with John Kneeland, a Nokia Community & Developer Marketing Manager based in Silicon Valley.

John, what exactly is the Lumia 820 3D printing community project and what makes it so special?

 

Nokia’s 3D printing community project is a simple concept with exciting potential. Our Lumia 820 has a removable shell that users can replace with Nokia-made shells in different colors, special ruggedized shells with extra shock and dust protection, and shells that add wireless charging capabilities found in the high-end Lumia 920 to the mid-range 820.

Those are fantastic cases, and a great option for the vast majority of Nokia’s Lumia 820 customers. But in addition to that, we are going to release 3D templates, case specs, recommended materials and best practices—everything someone versed in 3D printing needs to print their own custom Lumia 820 case. We refer to these files and documents collectively as a 3D-printing Development Kit, or 3DK for short. (Editor’s note: They can be found here, here and here.)

In doing this, Nokia has become the first major phone company to begin embracing the 3D printing community and its incredible potential, and continue to be the leading phone company in this exciting field.

I view this as the spiritual successor to the great granddaddy of customizable phones, the Nokia 5110 and its rainbow collection of removable faceplates. To think, it’s been 15 years since the 5110 launched! I still remember using and loving its American cousin, the 5120.

How else is Nokia making use of 3D printing and what opportunities do you specifically see for mobile technology, both now and in the future?


 Internally it helps us with rapid prototyping as we, to borrow Stephen Elop’s words, “increase the clock speed of Nokia.” In the future, I envision wildly more modular and customizable phones. Perhaps in addition to our own beautifully-designed phones, we could sell some kind of phone template, and entrepreneurs the world over could build a local business on building phones precisely tailored to the needs of his or her local community. You want a waterproof, glow-in-the-dark phone with a bottle-opener and a solar charger? Someone can build it for you—or you can print it yourself!



Can you tell us what your job involves on a day-to-day basis and how does it fit in with 3D printing?


In the Developer Relations team, we work tirelessly to build an ecosystem around Nokia Lumia. Generally speaking, our team is split into two sections: “depth” (the big brands like Angry Birds, ESPN, Red Bull) and “breadth” (the indies, hobbyists, and perhaps even tomorrow’s big app). I specialize in the “breadth” apps, which is exciting to me because I get to help entrepreneurs bring their great app ideas to life. But a rich, vibrant ecosystem isn’t just a matter of apps and services; it’s also hardware—physical things that enhance and personalize your experience with your phone. Because hardware has traditionally required mass manufacturing (and the major amount of capital to go with it), building the hardware ecosystem has been strictly a Depth team affair. But now 3D printing means that everyone can start making hardware!



3D printing is one of those cool new technologies that a lot people have heard of but less have actually experienced. How did you feel when you first saw it in action?



When I first saw 3D printing in action, I felt how I imagine people felt when they saw the very first steam engines. The earliest examples of steam engines were incredibly expensive, finicky, and quite limited in what they could actually do—and if products had warranties back then, bolting a steam engine onto something would surely void it! But in those unwieldy contraptions, some saw the potential to change everything. Every great invention starts out as but a faint shadow of what it will become. Today we can print cases made of only 1 or 2 materials, and the machines are limited in what they can make, but that itself is incredibly exciting—and the future even more so.

The organisers of this year’s 3D Print Show in London claim it is about to change the world, in the same way the internet changed things in the 1990s. Do you believe the hype and if so, why?



My own view is that the hype is justified, and that 3D printing is indeed A Very Big Deal. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call it the sequel to the Industrial Revolution. However, it’s going to take somewhat longer to arrive than some people anticipate, and that may disappoint people. For now, it’s a bleeding-edge technology for bleeding-edge early adopters—which is exactly where Nokia is aiming its 3D printing community efforts.



If you could use 3D printing to create anything you wanted, what would it be?  


 A building-sized Angry Birds level!

3D printing is certainly blowing our minds, but what about yours? Is 3D printing really one of these amazing transformative technologies or just a flash in a 3D printed pan? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

One of the world’s biggest international football tournaments kicks off in Johannesburg this weekend – the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

African football has become increasingly popular in recent years because so many African players are now playing for big clubs in Europe’s top leagues.

As a result fans from all over the world will be tuning in to see which team will be crowned kings of the African continent.

Sixteen nations have qualified to battle it out for footballing glory and you can follow every goal, all the scores and all the latest news on your Nokia.

No matter where you are, what you’re doing or which Nokia device you have, you’ll never be far away from the action.

Nokia Store: AFCON 2013 (free)

This mobile app promises to deliver ‘unique and innovative’ coverage of the 29^th Africa Cup of Nations.

It will feature live text commentary of matches, live scores, match reports, group standings, fixtures and team profiles.

AFCON 2013 is compatible with Symbian Belle, Symbian Anna, 5^th edition S60 and Asha Touch devices.

Windows Phone Store: AFCON 2013 (free)

Owners of Lumia devices are already well served by football and sports apps many of which will have comprehensive coverage of the tournament but you may want to try this AFCON 2013 app as well.

This offers the usual diet of news, team profiles and fixtures and serves as a nice introduction to the Africa Cup of Nations.

In particular, it has useful information on the host cities – handy if you’re lucky enough to have made it over there!

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations runs from 19 January to February 10. 

With Nokia concentrating its efforts on delivering top-notch business solutions, a new Nokia-hosted site has popped up, called Nokia Expert Centre.

Formerly named Nokia Care for Business, Nokia Expert Centre is:

A one-stop shop for expert advice on Nokia products and business solutions, providing in-depth technical information for IT and mobility support organizations and Nokia channel partners free of charge.

Predominately designed for large corporations and small businesses alike, Nokia Expert Centre offers free help to those who need it in a simple and fast way.

Once you’ve registered you’ll have access to all the latest news and updates from the team behind this new service in the Articles section. For example, you can learn about how Nokia prevents data leaks with the Information Rights Management (IRM) functionality that comes built-in with all Nokia Lumia models. It’s a way of keeping emails protected and within a very specific environment that only authorised users have access to.

In addition to editorial pieces, there’s also access to a huge knowledge base of information detailing specific problems and solutions to those problems. If you’ve encountered a specific problem with a certain device, app, or service, this should be the first place to start as these KB articles contain everything you’ll need to know to resolve any issues you may have. If you find any of the advice helpful, you can give it a star rating to show your appreciation.

The Community section is where you’ll find the other users of Nokia Expert Centre. If you’re unable to find a solution to your problem, it’s worth asking the other community members, as maybe it’s something simple that someone else has come across.

There’s also a library of downloadable information to learn from, in the Downloads section. Here, you can download documents that detail how to configure services or setup phone settings so that they work with the infrastructure of your company.

If you prefer to learn about things in video form rather than words, head over to the Training section. Sit back and watch how to update the software on your Nokia Lumia, how to use Nokia Maps to find your way inside a shopping centre, how to transfer files from one phone to another, and more.
