Yeah would be good. They did it so that apps can be scaled properly. Between all the screen sizes win8 allows so it all runs smoothly and developers don't have to test a thousand combinations. So at least there's a reason for it.

I like that a lot, so I guess if they can do that kinda thing on tablets, perhaps similar styled, though not being able to screen share ( mobile screen to small obviously) but switch between apps like that, ( pulling them from the side of the screen).

Has the definition of multitasking been changed, cause I've seen no real multitasking on ANY mobile or tablet device.

Then you haven't seen a Symbian phone then? And yes that is true, real multitasking.

Android does real multitasking too. (I'd say a 10" screen is still a bit to small for that sort of thing though)

Yeah, Android does it, Blackberry QNX does it (and I'll be surprised if 10 doesn't), pretty sure webOS did it, Windows itself does it (and this is running off the same base kernel).

Right, thanks, so it doesn't require quad core, or even a super high end Duel core for that, which was the original argument.

Hmmm this could be my new handset, as a upgrade is due soon.

Even Symbian S60 allows multitaking.

No point in starting a new thread for this:

Supposed leak of new Nokia phones.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/nokia-lumia-820-920-leak/

Lumia 820 and Lumia 920. The 920 is apparently PureView!

The source is apparently very good for leaks. But a little surprised if they have fitted the same small lens.
If they have though that would be amazing, even if it means half the res as the Pureview

Roll on the 5th I really hope they do a tablet as well.

I like the look of those the 802 is the biggest I would want to go, I hope they have good internals, NFC and would like the uk 4G support.

Edit - oh the 920 is apparently the left hand one. That's the nice looking one. Anyone getting the feeling, we'll have no choice but to get used to massive phones.

The leaked hTc accord looks very much like the lumia, so that should be another option.

That video is the definition of hipster rubbish - old bike, stupid haircut on a model, footage about nothing. Here's hoping they at least grow the % of the OS from 5 to 10 at least.

Sold!

Umm what?...they video says everything hopefully from what we can expect from the PureView in these cameras.

Filming the girl from one bike riding along, shows some amazing image stability.
Never mind the fact that she stays in focus the whole time. Filming her against a low sun that's directly hitting the lens whilst keeping the foreground very well balanced.

And we can hope the bring their RichRecording development to the Lumia range as well.

480x800 is (the lowest) supported in Windows Phone 8. Which is perfect for the low to medium end of the market and sub-4" screens. There are blurrycam images of the rear of a "Nokia Arrow" which looks like it could be the Lumia 710 of the new lineup.

As for either of the 920 or 820 being PureView I'm not too sure. It's not the lack of a bulge as you only need to compare the thickness of the 920 on the left to the 820 on the right. Much bigger on the left which could possibly accommodate it into a smooth design. It's the lack of a Xenon flash which neither seem to have.
