Espoo, Finland and New York, NY - After unveiling the Nokia Lumia 1020 today,
Nokia also debuted a range of exciting applications that push the boundaries of
smartphone imaging.
Hipstamatic, Path, Vyclone, SNAPCAM, Panagraph, Yelp, CNN and Foursquare are
just a few of the developers building unique applications for the Nokia Lumia
1020 with the new Nokia Imaging SDK. It was also announced that popular personal
magazine Flipboard and popular video service Vine will also be coming to Windows
Phone.
"Now more than ever, people are using their smartphones to shoot, edit and share
pictures," said Marco Argenti, Senior Vice President, Nokia Developer. "With the
Nokia Lumia 1020, we are delivering an industry-leading imaging experience that
takes people closer to the details that really matter. We've collaborated
closely with Microsoft and top developers around the world to deliver unique app
experiences, pushing the boundaries of innovation with our ecosystem."
The Nokia Imaging SDK was built with the same technology Nokia uses for its own
imaging applications, including Smart Camera and Creative Studio. The SDK gives
developers flexibility to create advanced imaging experiences in their
applications for Nokia Lumia smartphones. Whether applying or creating filters
or adding effects and adjustments to images, developers can offer people the
ability to instantly personalize photos or relive the moment in a variety of
ways.
The SDK is available now at developer.nokia.com, and comes packed with over 50
effects, filters and enhancements. With this SDK, developers can get even more
out of their images. Nokia's Random Access JPEG technology allows them to more
efficiently manipulate image data to create stunning results. Developers can
focus on creating incredibly fast and smooth user experiences because the SDK
takes care of much of the image manipulation and effects.
Nokia also launched the Nokia Future/Capture competition at
developer.nokia.com/futurecapture to encourage developers to build creative apps
and hacks that further push the boundaries of smartphone imaging on the Nokia
Lumia 1020.
Nokia is helping developers create unique applications positioned to change the
consumer experience on Nokia Lumia smartphones.
Flipboard
Later this year, Flipboard will be releasing a new edition of its popular
personal magazine designed and developed specifically for Nokia Lumia
smartphones. With Flipboard for Windows Phone, readers will have a single place
to enjoy the news and updates they care about, as well as discover, create and
share magazines on virtually any topic imaginable.
Eric Feng, Chief Technology Officer, Flipboard: "Nokia's commitment to beautiful
imagery makes it an ideal partner to bring the Flipboard experience to Windows
Phones worldwide."
Hipstamatic Oggl PRO
Hipstamatic Oggl PRO was designed specifically for the Nokia Lumia 1020 with a
new user interface that sets it apart from the original Oggl app. Also exclusive
to Hipstamatic Oggl PRO is the ability to set manual focus and exposure, reframe
shots, and use auto-leveling and dual capture features that will inspire a
creative approach to storytelling. Hipstamatic Oggl PRO is also equipped with
the original Oggl capture and curation features, so users can easily snap and
edit photos, share photos on social networks such as Instagram, Facebook,
Twitter, Flickr, and Tumblr, and interact with some of the best photographers
from around the world.
Lucas Buick, CEO, Hipstamatic: "Nokia is the first hardware manufacturer to
build a smartphone that is a camera-first experience, and it's been exciting
working with such a talented hardware team. Hipstamatic Oggl PRO on Lumia 1020
produces incredible photos, and gives unparalleled smartphone camera control to
the photographer."
Path
Path, is the personal network designed to bring you closer to your friends and
family and it's now coming to Windows Phone. Path with Nokia will bring more
than 50 free and premium filter effects; along with high resolution & deep zoom
imaging capabilities that allow users to capture and share those personal
moments and every day works of art. Path users can also share their location,
what music they are listening to or movie they are watching as well as express
thoughts and moments, chat with private messages, and share emotions with no
words through fun-loving stickers from the Path store.
Dave Morin, CEO and Co-Founder, Path: "Nokia has a long history in mobile
technology at global scale - it's exciting to be a part of this chapter with
them. Windows Phone is one of Path's most requested platforms and the Nokia
Lumia has an amazingly sharp camera, bringing Path photo moments to life. We're
excited to bring Path to Windows Phone users around the world."
Vyclone
Vyclone is a social video platform where Nokia Lumia 1020 users can easily
create, sync, edit and combine multiple views of a shared moment. Vyclone
instantly combines footage shot by multiple users into one elegant and
collaborative multi-angle video.
David King Lassman, Co-Founder & CEO, Vyclone: "We are thrilled and honored to
be one of the first Nokia partners to take advantage of the Nokia Lumia 1020's
revolutionary video zoom paired with unparalleled image quality - two features
that will undoubtedly take Vyclone video creation to new levels of engagement
and production value."
SNAPCAM
Exclusive at launch to Windows Phone, SNAPCAM is the photo app that helps build
photo stories of the events that matter in life, share photo albums with friends
and then in just a few taps create stunning, full colour, photo products of your
memories and have them delivered to your door to enjoy forever.
Steve Hayward, CEO, SNAPCAM: "Hundreds of millions of photos are being taken on
smartphones every day and with the Nokia Lumia 1020, we can now capture our
special moments in amazing detail. However, we all have too many great pictures
that are simply being forgotten; sitting on phones, hard drives and in the
cloud. SNAPCAM makes treasuring your memories, quick, easy, and accessible."
Panagraph.it
Panagraph, a Nokia exclusive, is an advanced photo app that utilizes multi-touch
gestures to create photo mosaic images where a single image takes on the look of
individual tiled shots. Shared socially, or printed large scale, the app creates
stunning images that are more engaging expressions of the captured moment.
Tim Hogan, Co-Founder, Panagraph.it: "The threshold between the exacting nature
of the photo studio and real life is now much narrower. Nokia Lumia 1020 frees
people to capture high resolution images in more spontaneous ways. Panagraph
fully leverages the hi-fidelity Nokia Imaging SDK which allowed us to focus on
creating the signature photo mosaic effect that lets people express their vision
and relive those moments in a unique new way."
Yelp
Local search app Yelp delivers an immersive experience to users with a Nokia
Lumia 1020, featuring an augmented reality function that enables a real-time
view of Yelp reviews and star ratings through the camera lens. Users can capture
and share high resolution photos, view Yelp purchased deals with Wallet, use
speech to text search, and use app to app integration with HERE Maps, all
without leaving the Yelp app experience.
Eric Singley, Vice President of Products, Consumer and Mobile, Yelp: "We're
thrilled to partner with Nokia to bring Yelp to Windows Phone 8 and expand
Yelp's availability to more users through this new platform. Yelp's vast array
of rich user generated content is a perfect pairing with Nokia's great devices.
We're looking forward to connecting people with great local businesses with this
rich, visual mobile experience."
CNN
CNN is optimizing the CNN App for Windows Phone 8 for the Nokia Lumia 1020.
Building on CNN's robust selection of news stories, images and video; panoramic
interface and direct access to iReport through the app, CNN has added a number
of features with the Nokia Imaging SDK.
Craig Kirkland, Sr. Director of Product Strategy, CNN Digital: "The CNN App for
Windows Phone 8 continues to give consumers a great news and information
experience. Through CNN's app, iReporters can share even higher quality photos
and videos with the camera on the Nokia Lumia 1020."
Foursquare
Using the new Nokia Lumia 1020, Foursquare users will now be able to take high-
resolution photos wherever they check in and apply one of over 50 new photo
filters. These enhanced photo capabilities are a natural complement to the rich
tools Foursquare provides for sharing and recording real-world experiences.
Along with existing business information such as phone numbers, addresses, and
operating hours, the addition of high-quality photos to merchants' listings on
foursquare will help users continue to find great places around them, both at
home and when travelling.
Holger Luedorf, Vice President of Business Development, Foursquare:
"Foursquare's mission is to help our users make the most of where they are and
where they are going, and photos at local business pages are a huge resource for
people to research locations before they go there. Foursquare on Nokia Lumia
1020 will provide our users a simple way to take, enhance, and share photos of
where they are, allowing them to detail their experiences and providing a
valuable resource for other Foursquare users who haven't been there yet."
