Nokia Windows 8 Tablet PC to Arrive in Q4 2012

Nokia Windows 8 Dosage PC to Turn up in Q4 2012 – Finnish mobile buzz maker Nokia is getting ready for the release of a dosage PC in succession under Microsoft’s new Windows 8 platform, and might have it launched before the end of this year.Some of the newest reports around the web suggest that the mobile buzz maker could release the device in the fourth split up of the year. But, no specific details on the launch date have emerged until now.The upcoming device should hit the market with a dual-core Qualcomm SoC inside, and is expected to feature a 10-inch touchscreen show.

 

According to a recent article on DigiTimes, the fourth split up of the current year is the original timeframe Nokia would have the said device available for buy.This comes in line with Microsoft’s supposed launch timeframe for the next-generation operating system.Windows 8, currently available for a free download as a Consumer Preview, is expected to hit full release status sometime in the last split up of the year, most probably in October.

When released, the platform will be loaded on touch-enabled devices too, including dosage PCs that feature x86 or ARM application processors.Apparently, Nokia too has teamed with both Microsoft and Qualcomm to have its own such device available for buy, and it might unveil the dosage as soon as Windows 8 is officially launched in a final flavor.

Sources familiar with the matter aver that the company will outsource the production of 10-inch tablets to Compal Electronics, and that it already expects initial shipments of over 200,000 units.Nokia’s WoA (Windows on ARM) device will certainly help Microsoft’s plans to gain market share on the dosage segment, where Android and iOS are the current leaders.

For the time being, nothing has been confirmed on the said Nokia dosage PC. But, this is not the first time we hear rumors on it and, agreed the tight relationship between the Finnish vendor and Microsoft in the smartphone area, we would not be bowled over at all if the formal publication is made soon.

Apple Launches Free App of the Week – 

Apple appears to have introduced a new “Free App of the Week” promotion to its App Store, offering up a different iOS title each week that won’t cost you a penny. 

This week’s choice is Cut the Rope: Experiments, which is free on both iPhone and iPad.The Cupertino giant published a tweet yesterday announcing that Cut the Rope: Experiments was the free application of choice for this week. 

The app generally sells for $0.99 (0.79 EUR) for the iPhone version and $1.99 price (1.49 EUR) on the iPad.

Even as Apple has previously offered some apps for free through its App Store Facebook page, the new promotion frankly through the App Store will make such offers more visible to users.

     As the official App Store Twitter account posted earlier today, Cut the Rope: Experiments is their “Free App of the Week”, which as far as we can tell is the first of its kind.Now, don’t get me ill-treat, Cut the Rope: Experiments is an brilliant game and you should go download it immediately if you place of protection’t already, no matter what the promotion is. But it will be fascinating to see if this is something that Apple keeps doing each week, and I’d be curious to know how they choose on which games or apps to promote.

In addition to this, Apple has made one other exchange to the App Store. The “Staff Favorites” sections that includes a selection of recent iOS titles that Apple staffers feel are worth taking a look at has now been renamed “Editors’ Choice.” And there seems to be a lot more focus on this category, too, with chosen apps now featured in the scrolling banner that sits at the top of the App Store both within iTunes on a computer, and on iOS devices.
