Businessweek melaporkan bahwa iPhone 5 merupakan smartphone terakhir Apple yang masih memiliki sentuhan dari mantan CEO mereka ''Steve Jobs''. Perangkat terbaru dari Apple ini masih sempat mendapatkan ide, saran dan restu untuk produksi dari mendiang Steve Jobs.
Sebelumnya telah banyak yang memberitakan gaya kepemimpinan yang bertolak belakang antara Tim Cook dan Steve Jobs. Maka iPhone generasi berikutnya setelah ini dipastikan akan menjadi sesuatu yang benar-benar baru atau tanpa campur tangan Steve Jobs lagi. Tim Cook sebagai CEO baru Apple sepeninggal Steve Jobs harus mampu memenuhi ekpektasi tinggi pada setiap produk baru yang diciptakan Apple. Mampukah Tim Cook melakukan hal ini ?

Ada dua rumor berbeda pekan ini yang mengklaim Microsoft sedang mengembangkan smartphone mereka sendiri, dengan perkiraan bahwa perangkat ini akan diluncurkan sekitar tahun 2013. Namun, dalam sebuah wawancara baru, kepala divisi Windows Phone untuk Nokia mencoba untuk mengkonfirmasi rumor yang sedang hangat diperbincangkan.
Dalam sebuah artikel di llThingsD.com, CEO Nokia Stephen Elop mengatakan, "Saya rasa mereka tidak berencana untuk membuat smartphone mereka sendiri. Mereka dapat melakukannya jika mereka memilih demikian. "
Elop juga mengatakan bahwa hubungan mereka dengan Microsoft merupakan suatu hubungan yang kompleks,ia juga mengatakan, "Kami memiliki saat-saat yang sulit, tapi kami dapat melewatinya dengan baik." Elop juga tampak percaya diri dalam hubungan kerja mereka dengan Microsoft, ia mengatakan " dalam komitmen mendasar yang kami buat satu sama lain - dalam hal komitmen untuk Windows Phone, kami melakukan usaha terbaik kami untuk mereka, dan bagi mereka untuk bekerja sama dengan kami, menit demi menit, fitur dengan fitur, kita mendapatkan itu. "
Nokia meluncurkan perangkat pertama yang didukung Windows Phone, Lumia 800, di Eropa pada musim gugur 2011. Elop mengakui bahwa sekarang peluncuran tidak hanya difokuskan pada negara-negara tertentu atau operator tertentu, seperti yang mereka lakukan sewaktu meluncurkan Lumia 900 dengan AT&T di Amerika Serikat.

Nokia have been publicly struggling to regain some kind of major foothold in the smartphone market for the past few years. A controversial partnership with Microsoft saw them as the premier partner for the Windows Phone OS. But with both Microsoft and Nokia arriving, what can only be described as late, to the party with RIM, Apple and Google already in attendance, time is something that Nokia might not have much more of to turn their fortunes around.
We are evaluating different options for non-core parts, such as real estate holdings, and that includes the headquarters.
Following job cuts and the shutting of sales offices, reports are now starting to surface that Nokia would consider disposing of non-core assets, one of which is their Finnish headquarters in Espoo. Nokia spokeswoman Maija Taimi told Reuters:
With the building worth anywhere between 200 and 300 million euros ($259-388 million), it would definitely help top up their dwindling cash reserves. It was in July that Nokia told its investors that they were looking to sell their properties.

In the world of business, and especially in the world of publicly traded companies, bigger is (almost) always seen as better. Today, a company that launched as "just" a search website has now become larger, in terms of its market capitalization value, than a company that is much older.
The New York Times reports that, at the end of stock market trading today, Google's market value was set at $248.8 billion. That puts it ahead of Microsoft for the first time, which ended trading today with a market value of $246.9 billion. Neither Microsoft nor Google commented on this milestone.
The change means that Google is now the second biggest technology company in the world, in terms of its market value. However, it is also a distant second; Apple is the world's largest tech company with a total stock market value of $623 billion.
Many financial analysts see this development as an indication of Google's business plan, which concentrates on online services and products, as the best model. However, Microsoft has been slowly moving in that online services direction for some time, competing directly with Google with products such as Office 365, Windows Azure, and more. The launch of Windows 8 later this month, and Office 2013 in early 2013, will be Microsoft's big push into showing it is still relevant in the current technology and Internet age.

Wireless charging has been around for a several years now, but it’s never really been that good. Until now, that is. The Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 (with the aid of the recharging shell) are the first Nokia smartphones to support this new feature, making charging your phone even easier than before.
All you have to do is place your phone onto a Nokia Wireless Charging Plate, Nokia Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy, Nokia Wireless Charging Stand, or even the JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker for Nokia to begin the charging process. It’s as simple as that.
But what is wireless charging? It’s a rather simplistic question, but we should probably answer it just to make sure that everybody knows.
Wireless charging is a method of transmitting energy through the air to an electrical device for the purpose of charging it.
Basically, in relation to smartphones, this means that your phone will be charged without having to plug the wire into your phone.
While this all sounds very simple as far as us consumers are concerned, it’s actually a very technical process.
A transmitter coil is positioned at the bottom (L1) and the receiver coil (L2) is situated at the top and these coils are embedded into different electrical devices. L1 would be the Nokia Wireless Charging Plate and L2 would be the Nokia Lumia 920, for example.
An alternating current in the transmitter coil generates a magnetic field, which induces a voltage in the receiver coil. This voltage is then used to charge up the device.
Nokia has adopted the Qi (pronounced chi) standard in their wireless charging devices. Qi was created by the Wireless Power Consortium and is used by over 100 different companies around the world, and is the only globally adopted interface. Plus, because it’s used globally, you’ll be able to charge up wirelessly in different places around the world.
Nokia already has partnerships with Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Virgin Atlantic that will allow users of Nokia’s upcoming Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 to charge up using table-top wireless charging stations.
When you’re at home (or at work), though, there are several wireless charging devices that we’ve already mentioned above. These all provide the same function of charging your phone wirelessly, but they are designed for people with different needs.
The Nokia Wireless Charging Plate is designed to be the standard, but attractive, charging option, while the Nokia Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy is designed for people who like to stand out from the crowd while wanting something a little quirkier. The Nokia Wireless Charging Stand is great for people that want to charge their phone and still use their phone to video calls, or to run certain apps for example. Then there’s the JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker for Nokia that stops your phone from running empty when listening to your favourite tunes.
Whatever wireless charging device suits you, you only need to place your phone on the device in order to charge it.
Nokia has worked hard to make wireless charging easier to use than other manufacturers of wireless charging devices. Nokia has increased the active charging area to over 80 per cent on the wireless charging plate, meaning you should just be able to put the phone down to charge and not worry about it being ‘spot on’.
All of the wireless charging gadgets will be available at the time of launch of the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 from either the retailer you buy the phone from, or from all good online retailers.
