If you missed the Nokia live stream about the Nokia Lumia 1020 phone with the 41 mega-pixel camera, here are some recaps. We started a bit late so we missed the first 6 minutes. This is our first live-blogging session. If you like it, we can do more in the future. Thanks!
Nokia Lumia 1020
11:53am: End
11:50am: Press question: AT&T was a "dreadful" partner for Lumia 920. How will you avoid that with the 1020? (Some in the audience clap.). Answer: This is not a bunch of phones with a common operating system. They made a 3rd ecosystem. Nokia has to train the AT&T sales associates and get the best signage. There's another major launch later this year.
11:49am: Why no wireless charging? They wanted the device to be thin, it has a lot in there already. Wireless charging will be on future devices, not this one.
11:48am: Differentiation from other phones: camera, audio, built on Windows Phone 8, screen lets you view it in bright sunlight (like in Nokia 920), controlling screen with gloves (like in Nokia 920).
11:47am Microsoft, AT&T and Microsoft will work together on marketing campaigns. Indirect channels will receive it quickly after it launches with AT&T.
11:44am: Question about Oversampling from press asked. What is oversampling? It takes up to 7 pixels from the center. Create super pixel. Has much more info than a pixel. There's a white paper available to the press.
11:43am Available in Yellow, White, Black. Camera grip is $79
11:42am: Available July 26. Cost is $299 with 2-year AT&T agreement. Preorder on July 16 on ATT.com.
11:42am Cinemagraph: a shareable animated GIF. Imagine seeing a moving picture (not a video) on Facebook.
