It's been a bad few months for all involved with Nokia. A new head-honcho in Stephen Elop, a deal with Microsoft to use Windows Phone 7 that threatened to split the company in two and a lack of any kind of roadmap for the future have all caused many pundits to write off the once proud Finish mobile phone manufacturer. But things might, just might be on the up for Nokia.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Another day, another jailbreak tweak that promises to leverage iOS 5's Notification Center to make our lives easier - this time we have WeeTranslate.
The success of the iPhone speaks for itself, spending just a mere five months on Verizon Wireless, it has already stolen the top most position among other handsets on the same network, according to a report from BTIG Research with AT&T sales telling a very similar story.
Google has handed out around 50 of its Google TV boxes running a new beta build of an Android 3.1-based operating system to selected developers according to reports.
Those third-party Notification Center Widgets for the iPhone just keep on coming don't they? The latest, QuickComposer, brings a handy shortcut to composing new emails and more right from within iOS 5's Notification Center.
It's the story that just won't go away, but it seems once again we're being forced to speculate over the possibility of Apple working on, and possibly even getting ready to release a television.
The beauty of jailbreak tweaks is that they tend to fix niggling little flaws or add much needed functionality to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Despite 4 years of iteration, there are still a few things that we don't like about the OS that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but one such irritation is fixed by a jailbreak tweak going by the name of Wraparound.
While some of the furore over dropped calls with an iPhone on AT&T seems to have calmed down somewhat over the last few months, it's fact that some, perhaps even many people still suffer from a flakey AT&T signal causing their iPhones to drop calls at an alarming rate. According to the carrier though, there's a relatively easy fix.
It seems like the jailbreak community has been waiting to announce all its cool little tweaks together, and another to add to the list brings some new and useful information to the iOS WiFi settings app.
You may remember last week when we told you about a new jailbreak widget for iOS 5's new Notification Center called WeeTwitter, which once installed brought your Twitter stream, @-replies and more to Apple's notification system.
