Fruit Ninja Galaxy S3 and a real knife

 

Lately I've had the opportunity to play a video game called Fruit Ninja Mobile, well known to anyone with an iPhone or an Android smartphone. You see, the game is to cut fruit, and if you cut several at once you get extra points, but you also have to avoid cutting the pumps and you can not fail to more than three fruits. Normally, in this game that used to cut the fruit is our toe, which would serve as a sword, but in the video below we have someone playing with what looks like a real knife.

It's a shame that a great smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S3 is treated that way, but we assume it will not hurt because it has a glass screen with Gorilla Glass 2.

Has anyone tried this with your phone? In my view, would be a little uncomfortable using a real knife.

Windows Phone 8 will not run on older devices

-Short new-
If you want a smartphone operating system from Microsoft, forget what's already there and wait for the new version coming out who knows when.

The message that Microsoft is (at least for me) is clear: Windows Phone 7/7.5 was an experimental market. A test required because the development time of WP8, but that was well received by the media, but not so much by consumers. I personally think WP7 one of the most interesting things in the world of smartphones.

One thing is certain: despite all the cool items of Windows Phone 7, he gives more to recommend the purchase of a smartphone with this operating system. Microsoft has resolved the issue of fragmentation in the most radical way possible: it will not run on older devices. Recommend a Windows Phone 7 today is that not recommend buying a smartphone with Android 2.0. Can not. It is past is over.

Legend has it that they did not sell well (hello, Nokia), then you better just irritate consumers around the world (thousands rather than millions, right?) And tell them to leave or wait for the next update for Windows Phone 7.8 (seven-to eight-, get it?), which will bring a new or another (including the new home screen). WP 7.8 is pretending perfumery to the purchaser of a Lumia has a modern OS. Bah.

Remember that Windows Phone 8 also means a big bear hug at Nokia (now depends exclusively on the Microsoft Smartphone) ¿the second week after the Surface. With a new operating system without upcoming launch, Nokia Lumia gets stuck in "old". And that is not good for the Finns even more because HTC, Samsung and Huawei have said they will launch devices with WP8 as well.
