Nokia HERE Maps app shows up online

The Beta apk of Nokia’s map application has surfaced online. And the good news is it works with Android devices running Android 4.0+ or up—except the Samsung smartphones though. Some of the features included in the Nokia HERE app include offline mode, turn-by-turn navigation, downloadable maps to store onto your device, 3D mapping, and even “Speed limit warning” feature. It would be worth tinkering around with and we can’t wait for the final product to show up.

MSN rolls out revamped homepage

After spending just a few weeks in preview mode, Microsoft has rolled out the redesigned MSN homepage to all users. It should show up in your browser in the next couple of days. If you want to view it on your Windows Phone, the updated Bing and MSN apps also draw from the site’s services, such as Food & Drinks and Health and Fitness app. Food & Drinks will keep tabs on your recipes and Health and Fitness will show pedometer stats (if you are using Lumia 630, 635, or 1520, that is).

Full-screen ads might make their way to your smartphone soon

Whether you like it or not, more ads are making their way to your mobile devices. Google is creating new ad units to lure in big names to advertise on their mobile platform. Out of the four new looks, three are full screen ads and some are interstitial ads that would take over your screen in between “logical break points” while you use the app. There would even be video and interactive elements. Basically, commercials are coming to your phones.
