Advertising is incredibly important when it comes to business, in fact, it’s probably one of the most important tools available to corporations trying to sell there products. Personally, I feel that Apple’s sleek, minimalist, to-the-point advertisements are some of the best around. Now, I’ve always been a little critical of companies that advertise…
The “Maps” game is getting more competitive than ever now. Nokia held a press conference in San Francisco today where it unveiled its new “Here” mapping service. This service is actually replacing Nokia’s original foray into mapping, simply named Nokia Maps. Here is a cloud-based service and is going to be supported across many platforms, including iOS….
Nokia’s latest ad campaign is pretty astounding, for all the wrong reasons. Picked up today, the advert depicts a stylized queue for the iPhone 5, where one customer who enters the store asks if the iPhone perhaps comes in yellow. The customers surrounding him are shocked and alarm bells begin to ring. I mean seriously, this is the stuff of nightmares. The…
In one of the most pointless and annoying attacks on a piece of technology I’ve ever seen, Nokia has launched a new ad campaign featuring a commercial that touts the available colors of its new Lumia 920, and nothing else (no, seriously, nothing else). If you’re as annoyed by this as I am and don’t even want to watch it, the ad is as follows: a…
Whilst the general consensus regarding Apple’s maps suggests a lack of detail and polish, one party has claimed rather the opposite. Turkish website Soycalmedya has claimed that Apple’s decision to use a high resolution image of a prison is a threat to national security.

Conversations by Nokia has just released a benchmark documenting the map experiences that are available across today’s leading smartphones. As I’m sure you can imagine, Apple and Samsung didn’t escape with much dignity intact. Now remember, coming from a Nokia website, this kind of information is bound to favor the Finnish company. The article is…
If you thought the colors of the new iPod touch were shocking, you should see this image: Considering its recent court-side dealings, you’d think Apple’s designers might want to avoid making copy-cat products. Sadly, the team didn’t get the memo, and when designing the brand new iPod nano generation, some design influences were clearly taken from…
The folks up in Redmond have been really busy the past few days. They’ve previewed a brand new tablet, Windows 8, and they’ve just previewed Windows Phone 8 at their developer summit in San Francisco. The new Phone OS boasts some great features, as well as a few that are’t so great. Software Updates Apple’s pretty good at supporting old hardware. In…
With all the advanced technology roaming around these days, I began to wonder if people still knew that their GSM phones use SIM cards.
