Nokia developing 'Meltemi' OS for feature phones?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsNOKIA
Although Nokia still hopes Windows Phone will round out a "three-horse race" with iOS and Android, it's said to be cooking up an entirely new operating system aimed at lower-end handsets. According to the Wall Street Journal, the OS (codenamed "Meltemi") is meant to cement Nokia's top dog status in emerging markets, where feature phones remain king. Makes sense: low-end phones accounted for 47 percent of the company's device-and-services earnings in the second quarter. We're not sure if the adage "when one door closes, another one opens" exactly applies here, but either way, it looks like we've hardly seen the end of software updates out of Suomi.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google is hoping that it can talk the British into buying Chromebooks on the High Street. I hope they remembered to replace the $ key with a £ key.
The search giant is testing the Chrome Zone shop-within-a-shop inside the Currys and PC World superstore (no relation to PCWorld magazine) in London's Tottenham Court Road. The shop currently only selling the Samsung Chromebook. It's your one-stop-shop for exactly one device.

Panasonic LX series to have larger sensor
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasPanasonic
Panasonic's top-end compact camera could be set for an increase in sensor size according to Yoshiyuki Inoue, the company's Senior Engineering Planner.
Speaking to Techradar he said that although the LX3 had been very successful, its replacement the LX5 had not sold as well as Panasonic had hoped. So while the Panasonic LX5 is now getting on a bit, it seems the company has decided not to replace it just yet, but to consider how it can be made more attractive to enthusiast photographers. Though many may have expected a replacement to be announced this month a firmware update was issued instead.

New NFC spec enables two-way communication, potentially makes Bump obsolete
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
The NFC Forum just released the latest update to the growing close-range standard and it includes a nice little treat called SNEP, which stands for Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol. (Side note: the NDEF in SNEP, stands for NFC Data Exchange Format -- it's like a matryoshka doll of abbreviations.) What makes SNEP exciting is that it allows for sending and receiving of data between two devices. This could be used to exchange contact information between phones (similar to Bump, but without the need for an app) or collect links to trailers from movie posters which could be played back on your TV at home. It's potentially exciting stuff, so long as manufacturers actually make use of it. Check out th...

Kindle Fire unveiling event makes you wonder whether Bezos is the new Steve Jobs
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAmazonKindle Fire
Amazon’s Kindle Fire set the 7-inch tablet segment ablaze when it was announced two days ago as it matches their hardware for the most part, yet outdoes them in the price game by being more than twice cheaper than the majority of 7 inchers selling at around $500. The Kindle Fire sells for $200, but it’s the little details that count and for Amazon, it’s the fact that this is an end-to-end device that really makes it outstanding.

Samsung proposes secret deal with Apple in Australia
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung recently offered Apple a secret deal in Australia that could potentially allow the South Korea-based phone maker to put its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet on store shelves as soon as next week, The Wall Street Journal said Friday. Samsung’s lawyer David Catterns discussed the deal briefly in the Federal Court in Sydney but did not divulge the details of Samsung’s offer.
