Highest IPv6 traffic coming from window phone OS 8

Windows Phone Overtakes Android and iOS on IPv6 Usage. The world is changing, no doubt about that. Especially when it comes to mobile technology; the need to serve consumers with the fastest mobile internet experience has led many companies to upgrade their software system. One of these changes is the growing use of IPv6. Reports showed that the Windows Phone platform leads as the top operating system to use the IPv6. But what is IPv6, anyway?IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a communications protocol; put simply, it is a series of codes used for exchanging information between devices. Not only computers, but even smartphones uses this system. The IPv6 is the latest revision of the IPv4; it is intended to replace the IPv4. Why replace it? With continuous growth of mobile devices that has Internet accessibility, more IP addresses are needed to manage the communication between these devices – this is where the IPv6 comes in, providing more than what the IPv4 can handle.

As the world today relies more on smartphones than computers in accessing the internet, it is important for the mobile devices to upgrade to a more advance IP system to avoidconnection problems. In the recent data gathered from GCN.com, we can see that the Windows Phone 8 OS, majority of which are Lumia handsets, are making the big shift to usage of IPv6 more than other smartphone platforms, if the information are close enough to the real

situation. Considering the number of WP users compared to other devices, the data shown below implies the dedication of Microsoft to provide bestInternet experience to their platform users.The smartphone wars continue to wage on as we speak. But with all the competition between brands and operating systems, let us remind the people behind the advancingmobile technology to always prioritize the consumers’ needs when developing new devices – after all, without the consumers, the mobile phone market will be forever stagnant.

locate keys or other objects through Lumia.

Nokia is working on a proximity sensor accessory for its Lumia phones - interestingly named, Treasure Tag - that will allow users to track things through their phones, if a new report is to be believed.

According to a report by The Verge that cites sources familiar with company's plans, Nokia will soon launch the accessory that features Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC to track items through an app on the user's phone. The device will be able to stay 'always on' and it will come with a battery that will last six months.

As per the report, users will be able to pair the Treasure Tag accessory with their Nokia Lumia Phones through NFC, and the Finnish handset-maker will bundle a loop strap to attach the device to an object, say a bunch of keys. It further adds that Nokia has developed a Treasure Tag app for Windows Phone, through which users will be able to manage the sensor and locate the device when it gets out of sight. The app will also show the location of the device on a map, integrated with Nokia's LiveSight augmented reality view. Users will also be able to track a phone that's connected to the device through a button located on the device, as it will trigger a siren on the phone if it's in range.

It's worth pointing out that the device will work with Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy standards. The forthcoming Amber update for Nokia Windows Phones is expected to bring support for Bluetooth 4.0 and for Bluetooth Low energy devices (Bluetooth Smart) to Nokia Lumia 520, Nokia Lumia 620 andNokia Lumia 720 devices. Following the update, the phones will be able to connect and work with devices such as fitness monitors like Fitbit Flex and smart watches like Pebble.

Download Exclusive Apps From WP Store Without Having Lumia

Exclusive apps are one of the reason why Lumia users have more reasons to be happy than other Windows Phone users. These exclusive apps are Nokia’s initiative to strengthen their presence into the Windows Phone ecosystem and one way to make more people choose Lumia over other brands. Seeing these apps exploited and ported to other Windows Phone is really disappointing.

Chinese hacker Reker has discovered a way which allows non-Lumia users to download some of Nokia’s exclusive apps. Here’s how:

• Someone sets up a proxy server which disguises itself as a Lumia phone.
• Users anywhere connect to the Windows Phone Store through said proxy, effectively disguising themselves as Lumia phones too.
• Users perform search via the proxy in the Store, searching for Nokia-exclusive apps by name. Normally a device model/brand check would be performed by the Store server, and refuse to offer any result upon finding model/brand mismatch. But since now those users are cloaked, the server will spill app descriptions and download links without a fuss.
• However, the proxy server is not able to pass file download streams to each user request, therefore non-Nokia users who just managed to get app download links are not able to really buy or download stuff.
• This is where the server glitch actually exists: in common sense of this universe, the Store should perform a model/brand check upon each search AND download request, to make sure what’s supposed to be exclusive will stay exclusive, no matter how hard people try. However in Microsoft’s case, download requests are NOT FILTERED AT ALL.
• Therefore if a user switches into WiFi setting, turn the proxy off, then switch back to the app description page and click the download button, he/she just gets the app. Microsoft is assume that if this button is displayed on your screen at all, your device must be well qualified, what could possibly go wrong? Just go ahead and make yourself comfortable.
• End of story: Nokia-exclusive apps ending up on non-Nokia phones.

This will allow non-Lumia users to download Nokia’s more than 50 exclusive apps. Apps like Nokia Glam and Temple Run, work pretty well on the Huawei Ascend W1.

App exclusivity is Nokia’s edge among other OEM’s but having this apps exploited is like putting Nokia’s hard work into waste. But does Nokia need to be alarmed at this point? In my opinion, not really much because there are only 14% of non-Lumia users out there and there are only few techy users who will desperately attempt to do this. But still we hope that Microsoft will fix this as early as possible.

PS 1 Emulator on Lumia

Everyone has become a big a fan of those game emulators running on smartphones because it lets you play your old time favorite games like from Snes, Gameboy, Sege Super Nintendo or even Play Station games. I still can remember when I got my first Symbian smartphone, the Nokia 6630, I got all the emulators that can run on Symbian except Play Station since it requires an intensive graphics card for it to run games.
PSX Emulator is one of the famous Play Station One emulator that runs on various platforms. I remember when the Nokia N900 can play some of the PS One games via the PSX4M emulator. There are also a number of Play Station emulators that run on Symbian Belle but due to a less powerful GPU, it can only play few games with an acceptable frame rates.

Now, Andre Botelho, a Brazilian developer who has already created a Playstation emulator for Symbian 3, has successfully ported the PlayStation One emulator EmiPSX to the Windows Phone 8 platform. This emulator runs even on 512MB Windows Phone 8 devices smoothly.

We hope that it hits the Windows Phone store as early as it can. What can you say about this project? And what Play Station One games that you would want to play on your Lumia? Share us your thoughts.

Microsoft Walked Away from Deal to Buy Nokia's Phone Division

Although often denied, it would appear that Microsoft and Nokia were in merger talks as recently as last month, until the talks broke down over the price being offered.
That Nokia was even willing to enter into such talks signifies a major development for the company.
Microsoft had been offering to buy the handset division, but walked away due to concerns about Nokia's shrinking market share, and a disagreement over the price being demanded by Nokia.

Citing numerous sources, the Wall Street Journal said talks took place as recently as this month but aren't likely to be revived.
Nokia represents just under 80% of Microsoft's total shipments of Windows Phone software and there have been rumours that Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, a former Microsoft man would consider a sale of the phone business to Microsoft.

Indeed, some persistent rumours suggest that a sale had been his plan all along.
The price being asked by Nokia for the handset division is now known, but the company's market capitalisation has dropped to just US$14 billion, and around half its revenues come from phone sales.
Microsoft would almost certainly have to pay a hefty premium though to win over Nokia shareholders to such a deal.
Nokia is expected to announce a major new flagship smartphone next month that may help the company turn around its fortunes.

Nokia EOS With 41 Megapixel Camera Is Expected to Com in July

Nokia has sent a media invite to the event called “41 Million Reasons” on July 11th at NYC. There will be a live webcast link available for everyone to see. We’ve been having couple of leaks for the past few weeks, whether the Nokia EOS will sports a 41 Megapixel lens or not – this should ends all our speculations.

This article on Nokia Conversations indirectly confirmed that a 41 Megapixel Lumia is yet to be unveiled this July. This device should be the only viable replacement to the Nokia 808 Pureview’s camera. Thought there were doubts that Nokia and Microsoft can bring this exciting technology to the Lumia brand, worry not, it’s now finally coming.

Aside from its camera, we also hope that this smartphone could bring some new hardware specs especially on its CPU and GPU. There was a rumor that Nokia is testing a device using a Snapdragon 800 processor which is the latest advancement from Qualcomm. This supports up to 55 Megapixel camera and 1080p displays which can perfectly power the Nokia EOS as the latest imaging smartphone flagship.
let’s see what’s in store for us, so tune in on the live webcast, we will be posting it here as well and will keep you updated. The webcast begins at 11am EDT.

Nokia Testing a Quad-Core Device on Snapdragon 800

Windows Phone doesn’t need four cores to run smoothly but Nokia has to keep up with the competition and demands. That being said, Nokia is reportedly working on a device running on a quad-core processor using a Snapdragon 800, contrary to earlier reports.
A leaked documentation appeared on Nokia’s developer forum schema that the Qualcomm SnapDragon S4 MSM8974 is being used for testing. The GPU used is the latest Adreno 330

instead of the 305.
The Snapdragon 800 is a designed for high-tier smartphones and tablets used for high performance and power efficiency. It also supports up to 55 Megapixel camera and 1080p HD display.
This powerful chip on a Nokia Lumia will surely be a monster device that can blow the competition away. We hope that this will power the Nokia EOS if not probably another high-end Lumia before the end of this year till Q1 of 2014.

Ipad Vs Windows

Microsoft has released a commercial taking a hit on Apple’s iPad. 

The Redmond company has been heavily promoting its Windows services such as the Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone 8. This video has shown the strength of the Windows 8 RT against the rival tablet. The Asus Vivobook RT is the star on this video that offers a very sleek and stunning design at the same time lighter than the iPad.

Watch this video and see the difference.

On this short video, it was clearly demonstrated on what a Windows 8 RT can do that an iPad can’t. In terms of hardware, the VivoBook has a slimmer profile of .32″ compared to .37″ on the iPad. It is also lighter than the iPad from 1.44lbs down to 1.16lbs. With Vivobook, you don’t have to use an external card reader because its in-built.

Windows 8 RT also offers great multitasking experience which you can use two applications simultaneously on the screen plus other apps on the background. It also offers great productivity pack out of the box with MS Office. Lastly, it works on most printers without any issues.

Truly, Windows 8 RT makes a difference on your tablet experience with more features and hardware support but less the price via the Vivobook. This is what Microsoft needs to boost their Windows 8 RT platform to the market. Product awareness, lower price point, stunning hardware and great services would make them gain more popularity. But Microsoft needs to work on its apps availability for the RT platform in which the iPad still rules.
