It’s since fallen back, and with collaborative consumption and the market for car-sharing heating up, the big players have to make moves. Zipcar has since forged a partnership with Ford, making it the largest provider of cars for Zipcar’s University program , and, in December, the company took a controlling stake in Spain’s largest car-sharing network, Avancar . Today finds Zipcar making another strategic move to get its mitts in fellow car-sharing companies, again with a focus on universities, whose students are among the most eager adopters of car-sharing models.

Siri points to Nokia Lumia 900 as best smartphone, bases answer from Wolfram Alpha What is the best smartphone in the world? Of course, we wouldn’t answer that question on your behalf. After all, you hold the answer to that question. We have different preferences, and we really respect that. But when you will ask that question to Wolfram Alpha, the popular answer engine that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, it will give you the Nokia Lumia 900 4G as an answer. But no, Wolfram Alpha isn’t ...

April 15, 2012 – 3:56 pm | No Comment
Nokia Lumia 900 Review: This One’s A No-Brainer Short Version Guys, this one’s such a no brainer that I shouldn’t even have to lay it all out. But I will. The Nokia Lumia 900 is an excellent handset, comes packed with a fresh new operating system in the form of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, and thanks to a nifty AT&T bill credit from Nokia , you can essentially get this $100 LTE-equipped phone for free until the 21st. Repeat: for free . Like I said, this one’s a no brainer. Features: 4.3-inch 480
Nokia Lumia 900 Review

Nokia Lumia 900 Review By Introducing the Lumia 900, Nokia is effectively bringing a larger, 4G LTE, version of their Lumia 800 to the market. It has just about all the qualities of its predecessor, but the larger size changes the user experience slightly, and the battery life seems to be better out of the box. The Nokia Lumia 900 builds on the new industrial introduced by the Nokia N9 which uses a single bloc of polycarbonate that effectively ...

Some Nokia Lumia 900 handsets having trouble connecting to data networks Nokia's latest Lumia, the 900, has been rightfully lauded for its low price and lovely polycarbonate shell, but apparently, all is not well with the new handset. According to forum posts on Nokia Support Discussions and elsewhere, some 900s aren't able to connect to any of AT&T's data networks. The affected phones get data reception initially, but once the connection is severed by turning the phone ...

Nokia Lumia Windows 8 Tab Coming Later This Year? Nokia and Microsoft, sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.i.n.g. First came WinPhone, then comes ARM tabs, then comes a baby in a baby carriage! If an unconfirmed Digitimes report is to be believed, Nokia is set to release a 10-inch Windows 8 tablet later this year. The report says the tab would hit the streets sometime in the fourth quarter, which would likely make it among the first batch of Windows 8 tablets.

Microsoft Photosynth for Windows Phone being tested For some strange reason, Microsoft seems to have the habit of releasing apps for platforms other than its own. Remember all the various Bing apps that came out on iOS last year? How about Photosynth, the 360-degrees panoramic photography app that was released in April 2011? Well, It’s been a long time, but it looks like the app is finally making its way over to Windows Phone devices. According to reports online, a number of interesting test panoramas ...

February 17, 2012 – 6:55 am | No Comment
For All The Phones In China, Apple Actually Lost Market Share In Q4 Apple has an undeniably big opportunity in China, but it is still facing some big challenges. As the iPhone maker claimed the top spot as the world’s biggest smartphone vendor in the last quarter (October-December), it actually slipped in the rankings in China and is now in fifth position after ZTE. But with Apple only kicking off sales of the iPhone 4S in China this January , it’s arguable whether we will see a delayed reaction from the launch of the new device, or whether longer term ...
