First Look Into New Features Of Windows Phone 7.1 (Mango)

Tuesday 24 May 2011 @ 11:59 pm

Today Microsoft officially announced the new Windows Phone OS Windows Phone 7.1, codename Mango. This is the new OS for the upcoming Nokia Windows-based phones as well after both companies signed the partnership agreement in April 2011.

The official release date of Mango has yet to be announced, but Microsoft is committed to release it to all new and existing Windows Phones in Autumn 2011.

Let’s take a look into the new features added to Windows Phone 7.1 (Mango) :-

  • Multitasking
    Allow fast applications switching and support background processing, audio and file transfer.
  • Copy & Past
    Yes, this missing feature that is so critical for a smartphone OS will be available in Mango.
  • Better social integration
    Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter & Linked-In are integrated into the contacts, making emailing, SMS-ing and instant messaging a lot easier.
  • Groups
    This is a new feature in People Hub that allows you put together related people into a grid of live tiles and put tagged pictures of those people into the groups.
  • Smarter keyboard interface
    Word prediction will be available when you are typing. For example, when you type “happy”, and the phone will display “birthday” for selection.
  • Improved Live Tiles
    One of the main attractions of Windows Phone OS is the Live Tiles so it’s further enhanced to hold more information, including push notifications via Live Agents running in the background.
  • Hands-free messaging
    Text-to-voice and voice-to-text engines allow for easier SMS and chatting. Android & iOS already have this feature, so I guess it’s not too late to have it in Mango too.
  • Internet Explorer 9
    IE 9 will be the new built-in browser. It provides support for HTML5 and full hardware acceleration. On top of that, the rendering engine of IE9 mobile version will be the same as the desktop version.
  • Better Bing Search Engine
    Mango provides new ways to search including Bing Vision, Bing Audio and voice. It offers location specific results such as nearest restaurant, events happening nearby, etc.

What Is Clear Black Display That Some Nokia Phones Have?

Wednesday 16 March 2011 @ 3:45 pm

I received this same question from quite a number of people asking what actually is Clear Black Display that we can find in Nokia E7.

I was at the premier preview of Nokia E7 in KL 2 weeks ago and the product manager explained that Clear Black Display is actually a method to reduce reflections on the screen and improve visual image quality, especially when we are at outdoors. It basically displays the black “blacker”, so to speak.

Well, no worries if you still can’t get the picture of how a Clear Black Display works, just watch the video below you’ll get the idea. :)

I was invited to the Premier Preview of Nokia E7 a day before its official launching in Malaysia on last Friday, 4th March, 2011. I saw this latest E Series Nokia phone in Nokia World 2010 last September so it’s not foreign to me and I had more time to play with it in this premier preview.

Naughty Toys – A Stop Motion Video Shot Entirely Using Nokia N8

Thursday 3 February 2011 @ 11:55 am

After more than 2 weeks from preparation to post production, my entry for #N8Productions has finally completed. It is a stop motion video that I named it as Naughty Toys.

This 3-minute video took me more than 30 hours of photo & video shooting, a consecutive 7 days of 5 hours shooting daily. It took another 30 hours of tedious post production such as arranging the photos, video editing, sounds editing, dubbing the voices of all 8 characters, etc. A total of more than 650 photos and 20 minutes of short videos were taken to create the stop motion video.

I personally need to thank my good friend, Alex Tye, for allowing me to use his precious figures for shooting and his room as shooting venue. Another friend of mine, Jensen Woo, was very kind too to lend me some Transformers figures for practice before the shooting session. This video won’t be completed without them.

If you like the video, please feel free to visit N8 Producers page and click the “like” button to support this video.
Thanks you so much!
