Nokia Sold to Microsoft

Nokia one of the major manufaturer of mobile phones and a comany to have approximately about 40% of the total maket sales of the phone worldwide.

Nokia was founded as a wood-pulp mill in south-western Finland by Fredrik Idestam. Idestam team up with co-founder of the company Leo Mechelin in 1871 and gave the name NOKIA to their joint venture.The name Nokia come from the river named Nokianvirta where the paper mill was established.

Recently this company is being overtaken by the Microsoft which has spent more than $7 billion dollar to purchase Nokia’s devices and services.

The company has shut down its various manufacturing plants in Finland, Mexico, and Hungary. Nokia has officially confirmed to close its plants as it shifts production to Asia, as they wanted to shift their manufacturing unit closer to the markets so that they could provide their products more quickly, can introduce innovations into the market easily and can the more competitive.

Lots of people are going to be affected by company’s this decision as about 4,000 jobs would be affected.

Microsoft spent about $7.2billion for Nokia assets. The $5billion dollar is spending for the Nokia device and services, the brand name Lumia and for Microsoft to use its previously existing mobile phones.

The remaining money is for the 10 year license for Nokia extensive patent portfolio, Microsoft gets the right to use the Nokia’s name in connection with feature phones for 10 years.

According to the deal Nokia can’t use its brand name to sell mobile phones for the period of 30 months, therefore Nokia could re-enter in market in the calendar of 2016.

Nokia employs 88,000 people, and 32,000 will become Microsoft employees once the deal is complete, including 4,700 currently located in Finland.The current CEO of nokia Stephen Elop will join back his former company Microsoft.

Nokia still exists in the market but not as mobile phone makers

The company has these three main businesses as of now:

• Network infrastructure: Nokia has a healthy network infrastructure business after buying out Siemens share in Nokia Siemens Networks earlier this year.

• Here Maps: Nokia will retain its mapping and location services businesses. That means Here Maps will not be a Microsoft product and Nokia will remain free to work on integrating navigation to various system

• Technology development: Nokia will continue to develop technologies that it will patent and sell/license to others.

There will be no new “Nokia” in the market anymore

According to the deal Microsoft can’t use the brand name to launch any new phone in the market for 30 months while it can use the Nokia name for the existing phones for 10 years

With entire control over all the units after the deal now the Microsoft can fully devote itself to promote its platform and we could see some awesome phones coming with the name of Microsoft in the coming future running on the windows platform.

Let’s see what changes Microsoft comes with in mobile markets.

Get All Your Movies and TV Shows Sitting in PC’S, On Ipad and Tablet

Here is the way to get media library from your PC to your tablet/Ipad without actually transferring the files. At least not anymore.

If you have a meticulously arranged collection of movies and TV shows sitting on multiple hard drives, connected to the PC. The question now arises as how to get all of them on your tablet without transferring that whole huge amount of data actually…..So here is solution for Android  and iPad…..

The Plex application bundle……Plex is a media centre application that will aggregate the media in the folder you point it towards.

SETUP PLEX

Plex has two components

SERVER  APP: need to be install on the pc containing all the media that you wish to share on the portable devices.

Once you have installed the app on PC you’ll need to point the server to the folder which contains the media files. The app is capable of updating the change in the content of the folder.

This application is free to download for Windows, Mac and Linux operating system.

CLIENT APP : it is need to be install on your tablets and iPad and can be download from apple and android markets. Even you can get in on windows phone also.

This app is basically meant to access the library and view content, and within that, you get the decent amount of tweaks and settings for pictures and sound quality.

Plex media server can send media to devices running plex client. Both machine need to be connected to the same network. Once you have the server app up and running on the same network, open the client on and device and within few second the library being broadcast by the server will appear on the device.

We have tested the app on both iOS and Android and it is very good. It was able to stream a 1080p video file over wireless network without any stutters...So give it a try,...make it use full
