Trip the flight fantastic with Worldmate

Worldmate

It’s perhaps a little late in the season to be talking about travel apps for Nokia Lumia. Like me, your summer holidays have probably been and gone already. But discovering one of the best travel apps ever in the Windows Phone Marketplace isn’t something that can wait until next summer!

The app to install is Worldmate. It’s a service that’s been around for quite a while, on almost every computing and mobile platform, and one I remember fondly from my Nokia N8.

If you haven’t used it before, Worldmate is a seriously clever piece of technology that combines the best of web services and mobile apps.

my trips itinerary

The way it works is that you simply forward your flight and hotel booking confirmation emails to trips@worldmate.com. Their servers parse those emails (completely accurately, I should add) and look up the extra details you’ll need, and then push it all back out to your mobile app.

The result is a complete and accurate itinerary for your trips right on your mobile phone. So you can dispense with the need for lots of messy pieces of paper in your suitcase pocket that you end up scrabbling through at every stage of your journey.

It will add extra smartphone goodness to your plans, too, allowing you to do things like click on your hotel to give them a call, or bring up a map to guide you in safely.

This being 2012, the app is firmly integrated with Facebook, so you can tell all your friends when and where you’re flying and staying. That part is optional, thankfully, so if bragging about your travel plans goes against the grain, then you’re totally entitled to keep them secret.

It will also tell you which of your friends are making similar trips so you can arrange to meet up if you want.

share trip flight details

It should be said that the Windows Phone version of this app isn’t quite as mature as the Symbian version. It hasn’t got the bells and whistles like world clocks, currency converter and weather forecasts. I’d imagine these will come in due course: version one of the app only came out in June.

But on the other hand, I don’t believe there’s any version of this app that’s quite so beautifully designed. It’s not overly graphical but is superbly legible – exactly what you need when you’re checking what time your flight leaves.

Worldmate is free and can be downloaded here.

Are you using Worldmate? If not, well… why not?

Carl Zeiss and Nokia together again at Photokina

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

Last week we reported from Photokina, the world’s largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries, where Nokia was showing the power of PureView imaging with the Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia Lumia 920.

However, Nokia was not alone; just like the previous two occasions, Carl Zeiss and Nokia shared the same booth, to remind everyone of the strong imaging partnership that links these two companies.

Carl Zeiss and Nokia stand

Nokia Conversations readers should be already familiar with the history of Carl Zeiss, named after the founder who started applying physics to carefully build his microscopes.

Instead of a trial and error process to select the right lenses, he employed a more effective scientific method instead.

One hundred and sixty-six years later, Carl Zeiss is a successful company, which not only produces microscopes but also binoculars, eyeglasses, planetariums, industrial metrology systems and, most importantly, camera lenses and sensors.

Inside Nokia’s phones

These are, in fact, elements that can be found in Nokia smartphones since 2004, when we unveiled the Nokia N90 with Carl Zeiss optics.

“While working on the first Nokia camera phones, we realized that the camera is an element that has to be initially developed on its own, as part of an hardware and software imaging platform”, says Eero Salmelin, one of our imaging experts.

His teammate Juha Alakarhu clarifies why we have selected Carl Zeiss as imaging partner:

“Carl Zeiss is the best and most accurate lens assembler ever; the real challenge is producing optics so small to be used in a smartphones, yet robust enough to be used in everyday life; Carl Zeiss can address this exciting challenge and help Nokia deliver smartphones that can take good photos in any circumstance.”

Best Imaging Innovation Award

The latest innovations

The most recent revolutions in smartphone photography have been introduced by Nokia in cooperation with Carl Zeiss. High quality photography with smartphones has been a reality since the Nokia N8, with its 12MP camera, and is now even more advanced with the Nokia 808 PureView, which introduced the concept of lossless zoom and clarity of imaging through pixel oversampling. The Nokia 808 PureView picked up its Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) prize for the Best Imaging Innovation Award at Photokina 2012.

The very latest innovation is the Nokia Lumia 920, which is solving the problem of taking stunning photos by night.

While discussing the Nokia partnership, Oliver Schindelbeck of Carl Zeiss said that “all the elements have to come together. It’s not enough to have good optics, they have to match the sensor, the electronics, the signal processing and the imaging software.”

“When the whole package is right, then great photo quality is achieved. Sometimes the optics of two smartphones may be similar, but the electronics and signal processing are individually developed so that the photo quality can be extremely different.

“This is why the cooperation with Nokia begins with the selection of high quality components, continues with a join product and design development and ends with severe quality assurance,” says Oliver.

Carl Zeiss optics

The partnership between Nokia and Carl Zeiss is almost flawless because the cultures of these two companies are alike. The future of imaging is shaped by workshops that take place at least every six months: information and ideas flow seamlessly in both directions and we’re really excited to see what’s coming next.

Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro – Recenzja

Kilkanaście dni temu otrzymałem na testy bardzo ciekawe akcesorium, a mianowicie Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro. Jest to zestaw bluetooth wyposażony w bardzo wysokiej klasy słuchawki stereo, douszne, tzw. kanałowe, gniazdo na kartę pamięci, radio oraz wyświetlacz OLED-owy.

Skład zestawu wygląda następująco:

• Słuchawki LiveSound™
• Urządzenie Smart Wireless Headset pro
• Czytnik kart pamięci microSD CCR80
• Krótki kabel USB EC300
• Ładowarka MicroUSB
• Karta microSD 2GB
• Instrukcja i gwarancja
• Gumki do słuchawek w różnych rozmiarach

Urządzenie jest bardzo zgrabne, waży zaledwie 18g wykonane z zamysłem serii NXT co widać na zdjęciach. Mamy tutaj charakterystyczne ostre kąty oraz kontrastową dolną cześć obudowy. Obudowa ma wymiary 6 x 2.5 x 0.8 mm. Z przodu znajduję się wspomniany ekran, jest czarno biały i czytelny, nie odnotowałem żadnych problemów nawet na silnym słońcu i to przy ustawieniu jasności na 60%. Obok niego jest duży okrągły przycisk do odbierania połączeń. Na bokach mamy przyciski głośności, obsługi muzyki/nawigacyjne po menu oraz przycisk cofania. Obok gniazda słuchawkowego znajdziemy przycisk włączania/wyłączania zestawu oraz mikrofon.

Jaśniejsza część obudowy to nasadka pod którą znajdziemy gniazdo karty pamięci oraz port microUSB do ładowania i komunikacji z komputerem. Do nasadki przytwierdzona jest gumka dzięki czemu nie musimy się martwić, że ją zgubimy. Trzyma się też dość mocno także sama się nie odczepia. Muszę pochwalić techników z Sony za świetne rozplanowanie przycisków, nie dość że jest intuicyjne to jeszcze umiejscowione są w taki sposób że trzymając urządzenie i wciskając jakikolwiek przycisk nie trafimy na inny np. palcem z drugiej strony. Z tyłu mamy dość masywną klamrę z napisem Sony do przypięcia zestawu np., za koszulę lub ramiączko plecaka. Zastrzeżenie mogę mieć tylko do dość podatnej na zarysowania obudowy, jest wykonana z naprawdę delikatnego plastiku.

Słuchawki są identyczne jak te z LiveSound™ lub Smart Headset. Są wyposażone w płaski kabel dzięki czemu się nie plączą tak jak klasyczne słuchawki – to znaczące udogodnienie. Grają naprawdę przyzwoicie, dzięki wielu rozmiarom gumek można je dostosować sobie tak żeby nosiło się je komfortowo. To najlepsze słuchawki jakie jak na razie miałem. Wcześniej korzystałem z HMP-77, MH100, beats by dr.dre(z zestawu Sensation XE) oraz EP-630. Miałem też LiveSound™ dopóki ich nie zgubiłem nad czym wciąż głęboko ubolewam. Mimo że to te same słuchawki to grają nieco lepiej, mają podbite basy i bardziej wyważone tony wysokie, grają też głośniej a to wszystko za sprawą samego Smart Wireless Headset pro który to poprawia jakość dźwięku na wyjściu. Po ich podłączeniu bezpośrednio do telefonu grają identycznie jak LiveSound™. Basy może nie są tak potężne jak w beats lub EP-630 ale za to ogólna jakość dźwięku bardziej mnie zadowala(słucham głównie rocka).

Muzykę możemy słuchać poprzez BT łącząc się z telefonem oraz bezpośrednio z karty pamięci lub radia.
Słuchawka posiada opcję multiparowania, pozwala na powiązanie z dwoma telefonami jednocześnie, łatwo można się przełączać między sparowanymi urządzeniami, telefon główny oznaczony jest kropką co widać na zdjęciu. Słuchawka jest zgodna ze wszystkimi telefonami obsługującymi protokół Bluetooth A2DP, widzimy dzięki temu nazwy aktualnie odtwarzanego utworu oraz możemy przewijać całe piosenki jak i ich fragmenty.

Gdy słuchamy muzyki z karty pamięci Smart Wireless Headset Pro zmienia się w klasyczną „empetrójkę”. Mamy tu standardowy odtwarzacz SE z podziałem na wykonawców, albumy oraz wszystkie utwory. Można też tworzyć sobie playlisty w programie Media Go na komputerze i w zasadzie to jedyna aplikacja z jaką Smart Wireless Headset Pro współpracowało mi bezproblemowo. Widać że funkcja mp3 z karty pamięci została potraktowana przez producenta jako raczej dodatek przez co wymaga jeszcze dopracowania. Miejmy nadzieję ze zmieni to się z kolejnymi aktualizacjami firmware. Lepiej wygląda sytuacja z radiem, tutaj w zasadzie jest wszystko ok.

Zestaw umożliwia też pewną integrację z telefonami opartymi na Androidzie, został zoptymalizowany rzecz jasna pod markę SONY i jej produkty ale nie było większych problemów też ze współpracą z telefonami innych marek opartych na Androidzie. Do poprawnej współpracy wymagana jest aplikacja Smart Connect (w przypadku Androida Gingerbread jest to LiveWare), można ją pobrać z Google Play.

Live with Walkman @ Android 4.0.4

Xperia U @ Android 2.3.7

Wtedy też mamy dostęp do menu słuchawki a w nim: Aplikacje, Syntezator mowy, Obsługa połączeń, wersja opr. Układowego. W aplikacjach znajdują się wszystkie apki jakie sobie ściągnęliśmy z Google Play, dodają one funkcjonalności dla zgodnych telefonów takie jak np. odczytywanie wiadomości sms i email, powiadomień z kalendarza, Twittera czy Facebooka na ekranie zestawu, rejestr połączeń, czy znajdowanie telefonu. Z czasem na pewno pojawi się więcej aplikacji tworzonych też przez społeczność. Syntezator mowy możemy użyć do odczytywania treści wiadomości jednak brakuje wsparcia dla języka polskiego przez co jest póki co bezużyteczny.

Zestaw testowałem z prywatnym Live with Walkman a dodatkowo z Xperią U, Samsungiem Ace, iPhone 4 oraz Nokią 6700 classic.

Z telefonami na Androidzie zestaw współpracował bezproblemowo, nawet na Samsungu działało wyświetlanie smsów oraz spisu połączeń co potwierdza zapewnienia Sony o uniwersalności urządzenia. Na urządzeniach nie opartych o system Android współpraca ogranicza się do nazw utworów, przewijania ich oraz odbierania połączeń. Tutaj w parze z iPhone 4 jak i Nokią 6700c działało wszystko to bez problemu. Problemy pojawiały się czasem przy zmianie powiązanego urządzenia, wtedy słuchawce zdarzało zgłupieć przez co nie działały funkcje przewidziane dla Androidowców. Pomagał wtedy factor reset. Zdarzało się mu też czasem nico „zamyślić” zanim nawiązał pełne połączenie ze sparowanym telefonem.

Podsumowując Smart Wireless Headset Pro to wysokiej klasy bezprzewodowy zestaw który jakością dźwięku powinien zadowolić najbardziej wymagających użytkowników. Jego szeroka kompatybilność oraz dodatkowe funkcjonalności podczas współpracy z urządzeniami opartymi na systemie Android tym bardziej podwyższają atrakcyjność zestawu. Nie jest to tani sprzęt wiec z racji delikatnej obudowy należy zachować pewną ostrożność. Uważam, że po usunięciu wspominanych wad w oprogramowaniu Smart Wireless Headset Pro będzie strzałem w dziesiątkę dla każdego fana muzyki oraz wygodnej obsługi telefonu.

The amazing stories behind some of the world’s most iconic music photos

The ability to take amazing photos at the right time and right place is one of the great things about smartphones like the Nokia Lumia 920. And there are few occasions when this is more useful than when snapping musicians. Not only are their concerts often culturally significant, but – given the propensity of outlandish performers to die young – you might never have the chance to capture these legends again. Here’s five photos we think showcase both the moment and the musicians portrayed perfectly.

‘That’s Peanut Butter?’

Iggy Pop is notorious for many reasons but this shot, from Cincinnati in 1970, shows a total showman at work!  Whilst the Stooges belted out ‘T.V. Eye’, Iggy headed off into – and onto – the crowd! It is an audacious, fun and incredibly talented piece of theatre and this photograph captures all of it perfectly. Iggy eventually re-appeared from the crowd smearing himself in peanut butter. Rock and roll, eh…?

London’s Calling

If people start talking to you about f. stops and focus points, get out a copy of The Clash’s London Calling and watch as all of their arguments suddenly become null and void.

If ever there was a music photo that summed up the feeling and energy of a performance, Pennie Smith’s 1979 shot of Paul Simonon destroying his bass guitar at The Palladium in New York must surely be it. Smith was initially unsure of using the image – precisely fearing that it wasn’t in focus – but in hindsight she must have been glad that Joe Strummer and designer Ray Lowry convinced her it was worth it. The shot is now regularly voted as one of the best rock and roll photos ever taken.  Not in focus? Who cares!

Strike a Pose

Madge has always been capable of strongly dividing opinion, but whether you love her or loathe her, you can’t escape the impact she’s had on popular music in the last 30 years. A controversial black Jesus, a big coffee table book of Sex, glimpses of S&M, touches of opera… there’s not many things Madonna hasn’t had a go at.

 

With so many iconic image changes along the way, there are plenty of pictures to chose from – although some we may not get away with here!  So we’ve plumped for this great photograph from one of her most famous songs: Vogue.

The Music World’s Most Famous Crossing

Shot in August 1969 by photographer Iain Macmillan, this image has generated mountains of speculation about its symbolic meanings and every detail has been investigated and tracked; (the American tourist in the back corner has been identified and even the number plate from the VW Beetle now resides in a Museum).

Speculative ideas picture John as the preacher, Ringo as the undertaker, George as the grave digger and Paul, who is barefoot, as the corpse. Conspiracy crazies go one further, having you believe that McCartney actually died in 1966 and everything thereafter was played by an imposter – hence the symbolism here.

The fact that these six stripes of white paint on a north London road have recently gained ‘Grade II listed status’ (indicating they are a monument of national importance) tells you a little something about the huge significance of this photograph!

‘Not Guilty, M’Lud’

In February 1967, Police raided Keith Richards’ West Sussex Mansion, Redlands, and the subsequent fall out saw him, Mick Jagger and art dealer Robert Fraser charged with drugs possession offenses. The trio opted to be tried by jury and were promptly found guilty.

There followed the inevitable uproar from the press, fans and fellow musicians who saw the three month sentence as ridiculously harsh. In an act of solidarity, The Who rush-released a single containing two Stones songs and artist Richard Hamilton later executed a print to raise money for ‘Release’, an organisation for people who had run into trouble with the Police. In this famous shot by Stanley Sherman, Jagger is cuffed to a warder and being driven from Chichester Crown Court to Lewes Prison.

These images and their related stories have become part of the classic iconography of music history. But which others would you choose to add to the Rock and Roll Hall of photo fame?

Expand your mind: 7 simple steps to thinking outside the box

In the fast moving world of mobile technology, creative thinking is the problem-solving Holy Grail. Just look at the Nokia Lumia 920. Jammed packed with innovative new solutions to life’s challenges, it’s a tangible example of what happens when you unleash your imagination.

So what do Nokia’s awe-inspiring band of designers, engineers, creatives and futurists do to help themselves think outside the box? We asked around and uncovered a variety of useful techniques.

Exercise!

Research shows that aerobic exercise helps to unlock our creative potential – try taking a walk or hitting the pavements. While you’re working up a sweat instead of consciously working on your sticky problem, your brain will make the missing connections.

As Henry Miller said, ‘your mind is working on this problem in the back of your head. So, when you get back to the machine it’s a mere matter of transfer.’ So take a leaf out of Haruki Murakami’s book, and run!

Sleep…

From one extreme to the next: rack up those REM cycles! Studies show that the way our neurotransmitters behave during dreaming sleep helps ours brain make new connections, so that after we’ve been dreaming, we’re not just refreshed, but we’re actually more creative. When in doubt – nap it out!

Switch Jobs

We don’t mean literally – though don’t let us stop you, either! – but sometimes it helps to see how people in different industries approach similar problems.

Talk to friends in other fields or pick up a trade magazine – see if they use different techniques. Or, if it’s a creative problem, check out another genre – maybe your thriller has a plot hole, so read some science-fiction for inspiration. 

Think Like A Kid

Little children don’t have the same repositories of received wisdom as the rest of us do, so sometimes they can throw up some pretty left-field answers to standard questions.

If you could reformulate your problem so that a kid could understand it, you might see a different way around it. Or ask an actual child what you ought to do! At the least, you’ll glimpse some unconventional ways of thinking…

Free Associate

Brainstorm, mind-map or do a spot free-writing to find new ideas or links between old ideas – it’s an ancient technique but a good one.

The first ideas we tend to think of are usually the obvious, clichéd ones, so for the innovative solution, we have to push on through, and the wackier, the better. It’s all about shaking your mind out of its established grooves.   

Get A Hobby

Sometimes just shaking up your routine is enough to jolt your mind into unexpected places – but combine that with a new hobby and you might kick-start a mental revolution. Try pottery, pigeon-racing, knitting, orienteering – or join a book group, a film group, a debating society! Anything that pushes you in a new direction. Your mind will thank you!

Critics Out!

Our inner critics are harsh taskmasters, so tell them to shut up! When you’ve got a new idea, or you’re setting out on an untested path, it’s easy to be discouraged and give in to negative thoughts.

But there’s no change without risk, so you’ve got to learn to plough on regardless, even if your new approach does seem weird or untenable. Eventually you’ll trust your own creative powers and you’ll forget you were ever stuck inside that dull old box. 

You only have to look at the Nokia Asha and Lumia smartphones to see these magnificent seven techniques bearing fruit. But are there other methods you use to spark your brain into action?

Review: Nokia Lumia 920 parts

There have been sightings over the last few days of shiny silver boxes, emblazoned with Nokia Lumia 920 in a familiar font. There have been lots of videos and photos revealing what’s inside – time to take a peek.

Nokia Lumia 920 parts

First up, Marc at the PureView Club has posted an excellent gallery, showing just what’s inside once the lid is lifted. There’s some Carl Zeiss camera parts, a polycarbonate body shell, and some Corning® Gorilla® Glass. Marc didn’t hesitate to whip out his Nokia 808 PureView and snap some pics of the pack which he says makes him

‘want the Lumia 920 even more’

Another recipient of the slim shiny case was Jay, and he put his video skills to the test with an unboxing:

…and even made his own Lumia 920 from the parts provided!

Further thoughts on the pack, and some more great photos come from the guys at WP7 Connect who highlight some of the facts from the cards in the pack. For example, did you know the Carl Zeiss lens has a surface accuracy of 1 nanometre (they explain just how small that is), and that the polycarbonate body is made of the same material as the boards in a hockey rink (anyone watching an NHL game [well, not this season...yet] will know how much punishment they take).

‘If I wasn’t pumped up for the Lumia 920, this definitely got me there’

Does seeing these packs get you pumped up for the Lumia 920? What do you think of Jay’s efforts at making his own phone? Could you do better? Let him know in the comments, or tell me on Twitter.
