Featured spot in prime-time advert up for grabs for winning app
Microsoft has launched a contest for Windows Phone 8 which gives developers the chance to get their app featured on a televised advert.
Next App Star is designed to help give developers more visibility and attract more customers by being advertised on a “prime-time” commercial in the US.
The contest is open to developers around the world, with the deadline for registered developers to opt-in through the dev centre ending on March 5th. The contest is open to apps already released and those published before the deadline.
App submissions will be judged on an “equal weighing” of user ratings and app quality, as well as the implementation of new Windows Phone 8 features such as Live Tiles.
Once the deadline passes, 64 apps will be put head-to-head in a public vote over the following several weeks, which will gradually narrow the number of choices to 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and then the winner.
Prizes up for grabs include cash, a Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone and a one-year free Dev Centre subscription – with the winner gaining a place in the Microsoft advert.

Budget smartphone line significantly outperforming manufacturer’s premium handset.
The demand for budget smartphones appears to be on the rise, after Nokia’s recently published quarterly results revealed that its cheaper Asha device is outselling its flagship Lumia handset at a rate of more than two-to-one.
Nokia’s quarterly figures showed that of the 14 million Lumia and Asha smartphones sold, only 4.4 million were made up of the premium device.
The growing demand for less expensive smartphones recently sparked rumours that Apple is planning to introduce a more affordable iPhone model to the market in the near future.
Ian Fogg, principal analyst at IHS, told the BBC: "We forecast that by 2016, 31 per cent of the global overall handset market will be low-end smartphone.
"An entry-level smartphone is very different from a high-end smartphone," he explained. “Smaller, cheaper devices have processors from two or three years ago, they have small screens with low resolution, and weaker cameras. They can all do email and the web but gaming and browsing is a much better experience on the higher end phones."
In the UK, entry-level smartphones are available from as little as £29.00, while at the higher end of the market, Apple’s iPhone 5 retails for around £529. And with Apple operating at the premium end of the spectrum, one certainly wonders whether it would be wise for the firm to make the move into lower-cost devices.
"Apple makes high quality products, it doesn't make cheap products," Fogg added. "That doesn't rule out Apple creating a cheaper iPhone that still has high quality components. Look at the iPod range - they started with a premium price product, then they added the mini, the Nano, the shuffle - they went to a range of products hitting different price points."

Developers recently submitted 15,000 BlackBerry 10 apps in less than two days during a virtual Community Port-a-Thon event, RIM (Research In Motion) has reported.
The event, which began on January 11th, saw developers rewarded with $100 for each eligible mobile game or app approved for the new BlackBerry 10. Those who successfully put forward between five and ten apps received a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device.
Meanwhile, the first ten developers to submit ten approved apps were rewarded with a paid trip to BlackBerry Jam Europe, which will be held in Amsterdam in February.
"37.5 hours in, we hit 15,000 apps for this portathon," tweeted BlackBerry Development Head Alec Saunders. "Feel like I've run a marathon."
The BlackBerry 10, which runs on the same QNX-based software that powers RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, will be officially unveiled on January 30th.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia smartphones—a significant rise from the previous quarter, which featured sales of 2.9 million Lumia devices. The Lumia line runs Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, which largely replaced Symbian as Nokia's smartphone software of choice. Despite that shift and Nokia's emphasis on Windows Phone, however, the company still sold 2.2 million Symbian smartphones during the quarter. The question remains whether Nokia should have gone with Windows Phone in the first place, or embraced an alternate platform such as Android; an anti-Elop camp has emerged in recent months, arguing that Symbian was still a viable platform before Elop consigned it to the dustbin of tech history. For now at least, both sides seem to be right: Symbian still sells despite Nokia's attempts to take it increasingly offline, and Lumia phones are selling well. It'll take more time—perhaps a lot more time—before the ramifications of Elop's bet become clear.

RIM has announced that it will release six new handsets over the next 12 months, in a bid to cover all areas of the mobile market.
With the BlackBerry 10 launch now just a number of weeks away, the handsets will all run on the new operating system.
Details of the devices are expected to be announced in full at the BlackBerry 10 press conference on January 30th, but for now it’s safe to say the range will cover low, medium and high-end mobile options.
Rumours surfacing on the Internet have suggested that one of the devices will be labelled as the Z10, featuring a full touch screen, while unconfirmed reports also tell of a device branded as the X10, featuring BlackBerry’s QWERTY keyboard.
The new devices will be the first that BlackBerry has brought to the market since the Curve 9320 in May 2012.

Handset manufacturer boasts of strong sales for its Lumia and Asha smartphones.
Nokia has revealed that its Q4 mobile sales have “exceeded expectations” as a result of strong sales of its Lumia and Asha smartphone lines.
The company announced that sales of its Lumia series almost doubled during the last quarter to 4.4 million units, whilst also noting that its operating expenses have dropped during the same period. These factors are expected to see the company’s operating margins arrive between breaking even and positive two per cent, representing a significant improvement on previous quarters, whereby it warned the market that it would not be able to meet initial forecasts. Nokia had originally estimated that its operating margin for Q4 would be in the region of negative six per cent.
Nokia also stated that its Nokia Siemens Networks performed better than expected in Q4. And, while it didn’t release revenue figures for the division, the company claimed that the “strong” performance of higher margin product categories was one of the key driving forces behind the Q4 improvement.
“We are pleased that Q4 2012 was a solid quarter where we exceeded expectations and delivered underlying profitability in Devices & Services and record underlying profitability in Nokia Siemens Networks,” said CEO Stephen Elop in a statement. “We focused on our priorities and as a result we sold a total of 14 million Asha smartphones and Lumia smartphones while managing our costs efficiently, and Nokia Siemens Networks delivered yet another very good quarter.”
With regards to its Q4 net sales, Nokia estimates that its devices and services division was at €3.9 billion ($5.1 billion), with total device volumes of 86.3 million units. Its mobile phone sales accounted for €2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) of that, at 79.6 million units, of which 9.3 million were part of its budget Asha range.
Meanwhile, smartphones net sales hit €1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) with 6.6 million units sold, 4.4 million of there were from its Lumia range.
However, in spite of its successful Q4 performance, Q1 is expected to see Nokia’s operating margin drop to negative two per cent due to “competitive industry dynamics.” In other words, competition from the likes of Samsung and Apple.

Microsoft handset movements to rise from 30m in 2012 to 138m in 2016.
Portio Research has forecast more dark times for ailing RIM, with Microsoft set to ship more Windows Phone-powered smartphones than BlackBerry in 2014, while they will overtake Nokia's Symbian this year. Of course, the latter is perhaps unsurprising, given that Nokia has adopted WinPho for its flagship Lumia line.
WinPho smartphone shipments are estimated to have reached 30m last year, and are expected to hit 138m for 2016, which will see the OS in third place behind Android and iOS from 2014 onwards.
Android secured a 54 per cent share of Western European shipments by OS in 2012, rising slightly from 50 per cent, while iOS increased from 23 per cent to 24 per cent. Meanwhile, BlackBerry declined from 14 per cent to ten per cent year-on-year, as WinPho grew from one per cent to seven per cent.
When observing Eastern Europe, Android leads again to rise from 53 per cent in 2011 to 61 per cent in 2012, while Symbian fell significantly from 23 per cent to seven per cent.
iOS repeated the Western European performance in the East with a marginal climb from 12 to 13 per cent, though BlackBerry dropped from 11 to seven per cent as WinPho leapt from one to 11 per cent.
Huawei earlier debuted its first Windows Phone handset at CES, which boasts 20 days of standby time, whileRIM is set to release its BlackBerry 10 OS at the end of the month, something of a last stand against the competition.

Eighteen months ago, Nokia announced a smartphone unlike any other it has produced before. It was a proper smartphone, one that looked miles away from previous Nokia phones: it was sleek, modern and simple at the same time. The hardware was pretty modern, too; no underpowered processors with severely limited RAM issues to be seen here. And, it runs on an operating system that Nokia had announced dead months before the phone's announcement. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Nokia N9.

Rudy Giuliani had John Gotti to worry about; Mike Bloomberg has Steve Jobs. Despite all-time lows for the city in homicides and shootings, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg said overall crime in New York City was up 3.3% in 2012 due to iPhone, iPad and other Apple device thefts, which have increased by 3,890 this year. 'If you just took away the jump in Apple, we'd be down for the year,' explained Marc La Vorgna, the mayor's press secretary. 'The proliferation of people carrying expensive devices around is so great,' La Vorgna added. 'It's something that's never had to be dealt with before.' Bloomberg also took to the radio, urging New Yorkers who didn't want to become a crime statistic to keep their iDevices in an interior, hard-to-reach pocket: 'Put it in a pocket in sort of a more body-fitting, tighter clothes, that you can feel if it was — if somebody put their hand in your pocket, not just an outside coat pocket.' But it seems the best way to fight the iCrime Wave might be to slash the $699 price of an iPhone(unactivated), which costs an estimated $207 to make. The U.S. phone subsidy model reportedly adds $400+ to the price of an iPhone. So, is offering unlocked alternatives at much more reasonable prices than an iPhone — like the $299 Nexus 4, for starters — the real key to taking a bite out of cellphone crime? After all, didn't dramatic price cuts pretty much kill car stereo theft?

Today Nokia announced an agreement with Research In Motion to resolve all patent legislation between the two. The companies have been fighting over patents for almost a decade, most recently over devices with wireless LAN capabilities. The terms of today's agreement were not disclosed but it involved a one-time payment from RIM as well as ongoing payments. This agreement comes shortly after RIM's announcement that it pulled in $9 million in profit last quarter, down 97% from the $265 million they earned in the same quarter the year before. The company has pinned its hopes on BlackBerry 10, scheduled to launch next month: "So this is RIM at the end of 2012: losing subscribers and revenue, facing significant opponents, but with more cash on hand and at least one long-running lawsuit settled. If nothing else, it means the way is clear for RIM to launch its Hail Mary pass: BlackBerry 10.

The appearance of new Nokia firmware on NaviFirm is already enough to pique the interest of owners jonesing for an update, and this time there's especially strong reasons to get fired up: Windows Phone 7.8 upgrades for both the Lumia 510and 800 have appeared on the servers. While their presence doesn't represent an official rollout, it supports notions that Nokia is edging closer to a deployment and gives those who live dangerously a chance to try 7.8 for themselves. We can't guarantee that phones will survive any unofficial transplants, but we'd love to hear from risk-takers who find something truly new in Microsoft's not-quite-8 release.

Early beta version of development platform available to Marmalade Professional and Plus license holders
The beta version of the SDK for cross-platform tool Marmalade offering support for Windows Phone 8 will be released tomorrow.
The dev platform is designed to help enable fast deployment of games and apps to the OS, and will be available to Marmalade Professional and Plus license holders to allow users to begin creating content for Windows mobile devices.
Marmalade will also allow developers to port OpenGL ES 2.0 applications on Windows Phone 8.
Support for Windows RT is set to follow in early 2013.
“The arrival of Windows Phone 8 has the potential to disrupt the industry landscape, and there are huge opportunities for developers who take early advantage of this new platform,” said Marmalade MD Harvey Elliott.

Know what's better than the gossamer promise of an early 2013 release date for Windows Phone 7.8? Any and all little tidbits that elucidate just what it could herald for legions ofbruised Mango users. According to an alleged Nokia customer feedback survey obtained by WMPoweruser, that OS upgrade may bring with it a few additional, albeit minor enhancements outside of the (already confirmed) expanded start screen, like options for enhanced lock screen security, a Bing image of the day wallpaper, plus 20 new color themes. On the Nokia side of things, it appears Lumia owners will get to enjoy a few software perks as well -- namely, that of the gif-making Cinemagraph app and an expanded set of camera lenses. In all, this rumored feature set isn't exactly the most robust, but it'ssomething. We've reached out to Nokia for comment, but so far the company hasn't returned our request. In the meantime, consider this slice of news as solid as WP 7.8's release date.

I have fixed the games I submitted to the BlackBerry Game-Port-A-Thon. I had many bugs reported by the AppWorld team that occurred only on the BlackBerry DevAlpha device, but not on the simulator. It seems that the DevAlpha is very important tool, if you want to develop for the upcoming BB10 phones.
[h=4]FreeJeweled[/h]This one was the trickiest. I don’t own a DevAlpha, and yet I developed for it. The game seemed to work really well on the simulator, but it didn’t work as well on the real device. Luckily I got some images from the BlackBerry AppWorld testing team to help me with my development.

 FreeJeweled running on simulator. In here the menu bar is perfect
[h=4][/h]As you can see the game worked really well on the simulator, and badly on the real device. At first I thought that my problem was that the size of the menu bar buttons is based on the jewel size from the game, and those values came from c++ engine. I thought that maybe there’s some very strange timing issues or something… and that’s causing the qml side ending up with some strange default values. My first attempt was hardcoding the button sizes, but I still got rejected from AppWorld, and they told me that it still looks just as bad.
The FreeJeweled is using custom fonts which are packaged into the application itself. My second guess was that the fonts are not working in the same way on the real device as they are on the simulator. This time I had help from a friend with BlackBerry DevAlpha to run some tests for me, and it turns out that the problem was with the font behavior. I blindly changed font sizes on my code, and sent a package for him to test, and after couple of packages we finally got it right.
Below you can see the working version of the game running on the DevAlpha, and running on Simulator.
 Working version of FreeJeweled running on DevAlpha

It seems that I really need the DevAlpha device if I want to do quality ports, since things like this tend to happen sometimes.
[h=4]Blubbles[/h]Blubbles was running really smoothly on my simulator, but it didn’t work on the DevAlpha. I used Qt’s setGeometry function to set the QWidget into the right place on the screen. It worked really well on the simulator, and it left only small black borders on both sides of the application, but it didn’t work at all on the real device. I strongly recommend not to use the setGeometry function in your apps (if you don’t have DevAlpha), since it is working differently on the device, and the on simulator.

//This didn't work out at all

My solution was to run the App in full screen with:

2 |
MainWindow *mw = new MainWindow;
mw->showFullScreen();
|
I also commented out the set Geometry function since it didn’t work. After that I also decided to run the game in portrait mode instead of landscape, and I also modifies the code a bit, so I could get the screen full of bubbles. Now it’s running really well on the simulator, and on the real device too. See the image
 Fixed version of Blubbles, screen full of bubbles
After this I got one more rejection from the AppWorld. It turns out that I left a link to the original Blubbles project at source forge, and I had to remove it, since it was against the BlackBerry AppWorld policies. They categorised the sourceforge as “Another app store”, and told me to remove the link. It’s really not an issue for me, since they still agreed that I could keep the link to my github page where I host the source code. I’m fine with the “github only” policy, since the source code is still easy to find for anyone who’s interested about it.
[h=4]qmlSokoban[/h]For this game I got a very valid point from the AppWorld testes that the man is impossible the move. Actually it was possible to move the man, but you just had to click the next block of the screen where the man is. Dragging event’s with a finger moved only the world around the man(not the man itself). I guess that this happens all the time with the real device and touchscreen. The controls are easy only with the mouse, but they don’t work that well with the touchscreen.
I decided to add a DPAD to control the man. I still wanted to keep the sokoban controls “clean” in the way that no one will mess up their game by an accidental move. Therefore I configured the buttons to only control the character from “mouseClick’s”, and not from drag events. The character moves now only with one “tap” to the DPAD. The character will not move two screens even if you keep the finger pressed to the button(this to prevent accidental moves). The AppWorld testers also agreed that this was a good fix, and I got the game passed to the store.
Here’s a snippet how to create “tapping” DPAD buttons for your game. You only need one image component, with proper anchors.

I started my wp8 development by playing around with Cocos2d-x port for wp8. I also used this start by participating to the forum.nokia wiki-competition with my article about Porting Cocos2d-x Games for Windows Phone 8. You can see the port running on the video below. I had really good time with cocos2-x, and I think that I might even make my own game based on this framework. It’s really easy to use, and you can port the games created with it so easily to iOS, and for Android as well.

Rogers is currently in a full-court press to get us using Microsoft-branded devices, and it just made that clear through steep, across-the-board sales on everything Windows Phone 8. Nokia's Lumia 920 has dropped from $100 to $50; the yet-to-ship Samsung ATIV S has already dropped from $150 to a more tempting $80 for early adopters. The sweetest of deals may be for the HTC Windows Phone 8X, which has dipped to $30 for a 16GB model and a solitary penny for the 8GB version. For all the cuts, Rogers is careful to warn that they're part of a "limited time offer" and might not last beyond the weekend. We're delving deeper for an official statement on the drops, although the ATIV S cut may be to counter a leaked (and as yet unconfirmed) Bell deal at the same price. Whatever the cause, we'll gladly take steep discounts on cutting-edge hardware.

The Canadian smartphone maker is on the verge of releasing its latest Blackberry 10 operating system, and is hoping to entice users to make the switch,
RIM has somewhat fallen behind its competitors. Both Apple and Samsung have recently released new additions to their smartphone ranges, whilst RIM hasn't offered a new device in close to 18 months.
However, in order to aid its new operating system, the firm has launched an incentive program designed to influence business customers to upgrade to the new OS.
Blackberry 10 Ready Program offers RIM's larger business customers perks such as online training and webcasts, along with free upgrades of licences to the new BB10 OS.
"Starting in January 2013 through to December 31, 2013, Research In Motion (RIM) will be offering customers who purchase new BlackBerry 10 smartphones, the ability to trade up their existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server licenses on a one for one basis for free," reads the press release sent out by the firm.
"The new license trade up will allow customers to secure and manage their BlackBerry 10 smartphones."
RIM has been relatively quite for a while now, but things are expected to heat up in the New Year, starting with the roll out of BB10 on January 30th.
