Pandora vs. Spotify

I used to listen to Pandora in its early days, before it was cool. Go ahead, call me a hipster. I abruptly and permanently stopped just 6-8 months later after everyone discovered it and it became….. different. To me, in a bad way. More on that in a moment.
I’ve been a loyal Spotify user and evangelist since July of 2011 when the invite-only US service first launched. Again, very hipster-esque. I fell in love with the service, the features, the UI, the selection of artists available, especially the fact that songs never need to load or buffer before playing – just click and instantly hear music. Magical. It was everything that services like Rhapsody, Napster, Last.fm and, dare I say, Zune Music wanted to be. Spotify even had (and still has) a Pandora-like “radio” service. Spotify has been on WP7 for some time now, and just a few short months ago it launched on WP8. I talked about it on Episode 34 of the podcast as you might have heard. As I stated in the episode, I never liked playlists until I stumbled upon Spotify.

Must-See Fan Video: How to protect your smartphone

After seeing this, there was no way that I wasn’t going to share it. This is awesome! The video shows the owner of a Lumia 920 displaying and briefly reviewing several high-quality cases for his Nokia device. The voice-over and music are great, plus the images themselves are amazing. Very cool mini-movie.
Enjoy!
The video is done by lobbamobba on YouTube. You can also find him on Twitter here, but it looks like he hasn’t had much interaction there lately. Let’s see if we can help him change that, huh?
These kinds of Windows Phone fans are why we so thoroughly enjoy what we do here at Glance and Go Radio. Kudos lobbamobba!

Video: "′Child of the 90's" - IE ad from microsoft

Microsoft has a new website and video offering consumers a nostalgic look back at the 90′s, and the technology we used for our every day lives, compared to today. The video is very well done, and made me smile. It’s on their Internet Explorer YouTube channel. It is also a fantastic ad for Internet Explorer 10 (and by extension Microsoft), stating that just as we who lived in the 90′s have now “grown up,” so has Internet Explorer.

Are you a Windows Phone fan located somewhere on Earth? Are you interested in connecting with other Windows Phone fans, both near you and worldwide?
If you answered yes to both questions, consider checking out this Facebook page from Sean, the creator of the WinPhan movement, who incidentally is our guest on our next episode. You will find links to local WinPhan Facebook groups near you, as well as other links and information of interest.
http://www.facebook.com/theWinphan
Unfortunately there are currently no WinPhan groups for localities off-world, but if #WinPhan Mars gets started up, you’ll hear about it on this Facebook page. Probably.
We will have more information about the WinPhan movement (and shopping for boots, an unrelated but fascinating topic) on Episode 32 of Glance and Go Radio podcast!

A Closer Look: Windows Phone Lenses

This blog post has been written by Microsoft and Windows Phone enthusiast, Mark Tepper. Enjoy!
Like many tech savvy people know, the differences between Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8 are more under the hood than actually can be seen. A few of the obvious differences include Kids Corner, lockscreen notifications and apps that can alter the lockscreen wallpaper, Wordflow and lenses.
Last one mentioned is the exact feature I want to focus on in this post. As an owner of a Lumia 920 with its undoubtedly magnificent camera, lenses are a crucial ingredient in the WP sauce. There are certainly a couple of fun lenses available, which might be good for a laugh or two, but little else. But there are at least a good couple of lens apps that really enhance your device and help to get the best out of your already awesome camera.
