Is it articles by media like this that stagger windows phone growth? #windowsphone #ireland

Today in a local online (well known) paper we seen this story from a well known irish tech journalist.

Hats off i respect the guy  he does give great info and thorough information on most things people want to know,but seems to dislike windows phone and certain manufacturers.

We all have our favourite OS,Personally i use windows phone and android just to keep this balanced.The reason been i used an android is to use the applications that are not available locally,all the mainstream apps are available on WP but the uptake from the big irish companies is pathetic,they dive into android and ios,not understanding that WP IS GROWING. So in short localised adoption to WP is horrific in ireland. Also mobile optimised sites lack although the facilities and services are there to enhance browsing which companies fail to use to give a more fluid experience for your tab or mobile phone.

I could pull up tweets and conversations/reviews  from the past regarding the 808/920/925 and the 1020 but this issue is now in the past and so it should remain.

Todays article which was articulate was about the top 300 apps available today for our phones and tabs.

Here is the article-

http://www.independent.ie/business/technology/the-top-300-apps-your-guide-to-the-best-for-smartphones-and-tablets-29665496.html

This went on twitter with a reaction that i expected.The top 300 apps NOT ONE WINDOWS PHONE APP mentioned.Nor was there a blackberry app,although not as popular its still used.

The journalist in fairness replied and said my comments were fair,which they where.

BUT- Also said was that another separate article would be written covering windows phone,i dont buy this not for one minute!

Now in fairness to the guy this would of been a fairly time consuming effort plus the advertising that went out for this was another thing that let the community down.

Why? You dont do a top 300 application article in 2013 and just stick to android and ios,you cover ALL platforms,Especially in an article containing 300 applications.

As it is today the platforms are Android,iOS,Windows,blackberry these would be the top used platforms today.

What do you think? Let us know.

Tune in on the 22nd – live from Nokia World Abu Dhabi 8AM kick off for Ireland. #NokiaNewsIreland

As  reported a couple of weeks ago, there’s a Nokia press event taking place on the 22ndOctober in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

NokiaNewsIreland owner @jimboireland AKA Jim o Brien will be attending this event.

I will be tweeting live from the event and with all the juicy information back here to ireland.

The press conference will start at 8am UK/irish time (that’s 11am Abu Dhabi time). And the webcast from the event will be broadcast  on Conversations, so that you can watch the action on your screen of choice!

This time around  there is  an extra treat in the form of a second round of webcasts, after the main announcement.

These are additional interactive sessions that go into much more detail about… well, whatever is announced in the morning. These sessions have historically been reserved for the press, bloggers, partners and analysts who attend Nokia World, so we’re extremely pleased and excited to be able to offer them here on Conversations, for the first time.

The all-inclusive sessions will begin at 11am UK /irish time and close at around 1pm.

Editorial- A quick thanks from NokiaNewsIreland.Com editor @jimboireland #nokia #ireland

Nokia news ireland is only in its infancy and several months old and targeting on specific a product which is nokia and its products,ireland is a small country which has a small market when it comes to mobiles compared to the uk for example who is next door on the map so to speak.

Launched in June 2013 the first month was slow with results but has incrementally boomed since then and i wish to thank all who follow and read the blog.

 

 

From reading stats today nokia news ireland has jumped a massive 459.56% since launch which is pretty amazing considered we are only targeting a specific product and in such a short space of time.

We have regular readers from all over the world with Ireland been the top viewer in the stats.

The uk,finland,india and rest of world is also a big  visitor and steadily growing and we will strive to continue along with our twitter feed to keep people up to date in ireland on the latest apps,updates and news on nokia products for ireland and more.Here we also offer support on your products should you have an issue.

 

Me @jimboireland owner of nokianewsireland.com has plans for the future here with this blog,which will remain a nokia focused blog only,and remains the only dedicated blog for nokia in ireland, and also another project in the works for mobile products in the near future,which will be announced in due course from my personal twitter account.

Once again thanks for the support and hopefully more will come especially a little closer to home.

You can follow me @jimboireland or on @NokiaNewsEire.

Thank you!
