Nokia is Making a Phone with Android-App Compatibility

The device code-named Normandy lies in the budget range just as the Ashas.<br /> Judging from the sole photograph leaked, the smartphone does seem to be inspired by the Asha 501 with its youth-ish design and a single button (capacitive though) on the front.<br /> The operating system running won’t be full-fledged Android at all, like Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets, but rather a version which will just be enough to run popular apps made for the Android.<br /> Meanwhile the project is going “full steam ahead”. With its deal, valued at $7.2 billion, settled with Microsoft, it may not see sunshine in its life at all and may be killed even before it is released but we’ve seen stranger things happen.<br /> Its maker plans to release it in 2014, interesting because the Microsoft deal is said to be getting finalised in 2014.<br /> The reports of Nokia joining Samsung, HTC, LG and more than a hundred others in the Android field aren’t anything new. Those started even before the company joined hands with Microsoft to make Windows Phones and have seen been arising every once in a while.<br /> If history plans on repeating itself yet again, then this round of rumours are destined to remain fruitless, but again, who knows.</div>

It is also the first game of the series to be launched on Microsoft’s mobile platform.<br /> The iOS devices supported right now are the iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, iPad 2, 3rd-gen, 4th-gen, the Air, Mini, Mini with Retina Display and the 5th-generation iPod Touch.<br /> The game also gives you the liberty to play your own music through the in-game “MIXTAPE” radio station, after making a playlist of course.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> Graphics have been specially enhanced and re-mastered for the 2013 version of the modern classic. If you own an iPhone 5, 5c and 5s or an iPad 5th-gen and Air, you’ll get even more detailed shadows and environments.<br /> New physical controllers are also supported while the game also includes cloud support. Talking of controls, the game also introduces better controlling schemes which are said to be much better from the heavily criticized ones of its predecessors.<br /> In case you’ve forgotten, the game is set in the 90s, in the fictional state of San Andreas (which was revisited 9 years later as a much-expanded location in GTA V). You play as the underdog Carl “CJ” Johnson who is trying to make his name in the labyrinth of gangsters and crime.<br /> The game offers in-game customizations which are missing even from the later versions of the series. That, coupled by the diverse environments and vehicles, makes it one of the best games of all time.<br /> But what does it cost? $6.99, against the $60 which it used to cost originally upon its release in 2004. For a rock-bottom price like this, hardly anyone will argue that the deal isn’t a steal.</div>
