“Using a new feature called dual capture, the Nokia Lumia 1020 simultaneously takes a high resolution 38 megapixel image for endless editing opportunities, and creates a 5 megapixel picture that is easy to share to social networks with Windows Phone 8.”

The camera also comes packed with a built-in xenon flash, a mechanical shutter and even a tripod mount using an accessory called the Nokia Camera Grip. Using Nokia’s PureView HD technology and coupled with Carl Zeiss hardware, I’d be hard-pressed to find any camera on a smartphone anywhere that could even attempt to play in the same ballpark.

Other specs to consider:

• 4.5″ AMOLED 1280 x 728 Gorilla Glass display
• 1.5GHz Dual-core processor
• 2GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage
• Wireless charging
• LTE
• HD Video and voice recording

I have to admit, the Lumia design has evolved and the curved Gorilla Glass makes the Nokia Lumia 1020 an incredibly good looking phone and of course running Windows Mobile 8 as the operating system, it’s certainly a pretty interface and it’s simplicity in design makes it a very attractive device to own and use. I’d definitely recommend that if you owned one of these puppies, you get it covered as part of your portable possession  insurance.

Here’s a link to the Nokia Lumia 1020 Full Spec Sheet.

The update is available for:

• Nokia Lumia 900
• Nokia Lumia 800
• Nokia Lumia 710
• Nokia Lumia 610
• Nokia Lumia 510

The instructions are simple, use the USB cable to plug your Lumia device into your PC or laptop. Start up the Zune application and follow the on-screen prompts.

The Google Maps app, syncs with your Google account, allowing for seamless maps search history sharing between your desktop and other devices and the app. Offering free live traffic data and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and best of all, the mobile app supports Streetview, Google Maps definitely shines as the best free mapping app for the iPhone once again. Heres the Official Google Maps for iPhone video:

To Download the app, go to the app store via your device and search for Google Maps.  Or you can get Google Maps for iOS from the App Store here.

OneWebDay is an annual celebration of the internet held usually on September 22nd.

The guys at Intel decided to take things a bit further this year and have selected a few countries where they will be giving away their latest Ultrabook* devices to random people within these countries. This year, South Africa made the cut as one of these countries, along with Germany. Spain and Russia, becse of our love for the internet and because South African’s have stepped up their love for a digitally connected lifestyle.

With Intel’s portfolio now spanning across devices such as laptops, servers, PCs, smart phones, etc, it makes sense for them to support the OneWebDay campaign as many of their devices already leverage the internet and support some sort of data-enabled service.

Check out the OneWebDay website get more details on what it is and support its efforts in building awareness of the successes of the internet as well awareness of the open network principles that has been at the core of the internet’s success to date.

There are quite a few OneWebDay stories which are contributed to by the internet-using-public which can be found on the website which highlight the relevance of an open web standard that allows all our devices to connect to each other effortlessly and support the transfer of data between devices using the internet, which will in turn allow for the internet to expand further across more devices, across continents and into communities which were previously disconnected from the rest of the world.

You can also pick up on tweets about OneWebDay using the hashtag: #OneWebDay. There’s also a section of how you can get involved on the website & what you can do to support the campaign.

*What is an Ultrabook?

This usually happens when price drops are being implemented and when new products are being launched. My guess is that iPhone and iPod prices are being reworked in anticipation for the announcement of new devices early in September this year.

What do you think is up?

• Open Settings > Wifi
• Click on the little blue arrow on the right of the active connection name.
• Go to DHCP > DNS
  • My DNS setting was 10.0.0.2, but yours could be different.
• Change this to either the Google DNS setting which is “8.8.8.8″
• or use the open DNS setting which is “208.67.222.222″
• Now go back to Settings > General > Software Update and try again.

This resolved the issue with my iPhone 4, which is now completely up to date with iOS 5.1
