Lumia 920 Review: Just Too Damn Heavy | Gizmodo
The Lumia 920 weighs almost half a pound. It clocks in at just under 90 grams less than the iPad Mini.
Wow, I really need to check this beast out. Normally, seize and weight are big concerns for me, but I must admit that I’m intrigued by the fact that Nokia has gone completely overboard with the Lumia 920.
Loved the HTC 8X when I tried it. Light and comfortable, maybe good enough to swap out my iPhone.
But even the 900 was too big and bulky for my dainty hands (see my #crossfit posts for dainty hands)
I looked all through the UI. I searched the Twitter support pages. I searched the Internet and found several people asking the same questions on Quora. But I can’t find a good answer anywhere to such a simple question.
Why can’t I manage Twitter Lists from my mobile device? The more I use Twitter the more I need to segment the feeds. Humor is different than Tech is different than Social Media, I don’t always want them jammed together. My primary use of Twitter is mobile and yet I need to revert to my PC and browser to manage a list.
The Google+ Apps iPhone trouble continues. C’mon guys, when you release a service make it mobile-compatible. Okay, fine, but at least don’t break what already worked.
Irvine, CA-based startup Drumbi is today launching its new iPhone and Android app that wants to revolutionize the phone call. With Drumbi you’re now able to specify the topic of a phone call, as well as the location from which you’re calling before you place it. You can also designate the urgency of your call, so that when the recipient answers they’re well aware of the context and other relevant information you would have had to explain anyway. (via Drumbi: Reinventing phone calls by giving them a subject line - TNW Apps)
I like the notion of contextualizing phone calls with metadata, and tying that to the life stream.
Revolutionary? I like new features for phone calls (okay, I hate voice/phone, but bear with me) but revolutionize? I’ve had subject and also rich metadata for calls with Lync (formerly Office Communicator) for years. That didnt make a phone call annoying. And Skype chats escalated to voice more or less have meta data. So tell me how this revolutionizes the call?
Make voice asynch, that would change it. Add reliable video from a mobile (Skype sort of does, FaceTime fails mostly). Make voice more group-oriented, eg integrate with FourSquare.
But adding metadata?
