“In this video, we discuss some of the quick assumptions about Glass, warranted or otherwise, and give you a look through the eyes of the device in action. Stepping outside, pulling up an address, replying to an email and listening to the latest NYTimes headlines is a pretty seamless experience. Google calls the technology “calm,” since it doesn’t require you to pull a device out of your pocket, unlock a screen or tap any buttons.”
Today Nokia announced a new device, the Nokia Asha 501. It looks pretty good, it’s for mass markets, but the interesting thing is the new UI and the new Asha platform.
Facebook today launched a new idea around mobile, actually around people: Facebook Home. It will launch on 5 Android devices on April 12th and it will take several months before reaching tablets. Also they will update it once a month.
This is a pretty cool application released by Google: Google Keep. It’s available for mobile and desktop.

I am planning to attend the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona. It’s going to be interesting to see all the news, meet new and old people and have a beer or two with old friends. Planning to attend many developer conferences, the WIP Jam dev conference and some of the parties!

Google finally released their Map application for iOS devices few days ago. Actually only for iPhone, leaving iPad out, why?
Playing around with the iPhone version on the iPad (so not getting the full experience) and comparing it with the Nokia Here application for iOS devices can’t decide which one is better.
For now I am going with Nokia Here and waiting for the Google Maps iPad version.
