Nokia N8 Unboxing Images – A First Look

by

I was held up sick at home today, however, on the upside I was around to receive a special delivery package from New York – a nice, new Nokia N8 smartphone (trial). Unboxing the Nokia N8 smartphone… images from inside and outside the attractive package. High res shots of the popular 12 mega pixel camera toting Touch UI smartphone, perhaps destined to be the next flagship device from Nokia.

High-res images are stored on this Flickr set

CES Brands and Tweets on the Map

Monitoring CES Tweets on the Map
Originally uploaded by GISuser.com GIS and Social, Mobile Tech Images

An interesting map mashup via elifemaps tried making a splash last week taking advantage of all the hype surrounding the annual CES lovefest. Here’s the premise… Elifemaps.com shows where tweets are originating and which companies and/or products are mentioned most on Twitter during the Consumer Electronics Show. Taking things a little further, the service monitored several major brands in order to see who “won” in the war of tweets. Brands followed included Android (most popular) Microsoft, iPad, Motorola, Windows, and Apple. Users could then not only use the map to see where the brand mentions were hot, but what % of the total mentions came from where. Interesting analysis. For example, a quick look at the map reveals that people Tweeting about “Android” were coming from the New York, San Fran, and Chicago areas…

The brands being monitored include Microsoft Windows, Android, Sony, Motorola, Samsung, and Apple iPad. Among the cities monitored are New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco Seattle, and Miami. See more info on elifemaps in this news release
