AAWP Insight #105: Lumia 530, MixRadio, Uber
Published by Rafe Blandford at
In AAWP Insight #105, hosted by Steve and Rafe, we start by discussing the newly announced Lumia 530 and ponder the way it takes Windows Phone to a new price point. We also cover the latest news from the Lumia Cyan roll out, offer a personal preference of the Lumia 930 versus the 1020, anticipate the arrival of Cortana in the UK (and China), and offer some thoughts on the future of MixRadio. We end by highlighting a number of new apps and games - Live Lock Screen BETA, Modern Combat 5, Uber and Fitbit.

Show Notes
This podcast was recorded on Tuesday 29th July 2014, before Microsoft's China event, at which it became pretty clear that Cortana for UK users wouldn't be official until 'Windows Phone 8.1 Update' hit, in the Autumn. Though those in the Developer Preview programme will be able to play from next week. So ignore what I say in the podcast on the Cortana front!
- Lumia 530 - 'the most affordable Lumia yet'
- Battling at the low end: Nokia Lumia 520/530 versus Motorola Moto E
- The editorial 1520 proving that 8.1 DP devices DO need to revert in order to get Cyan
- Cortana and Cyan - the three legged race is on! For UK and China, at least
- The road from Nokia MixRadio to just MixRadio to ???
- Live Lock Screen BETA arrives, slick but a little twitchy?
- Modern Combat 5: Blackout arrives in a hail of bullets
- Uber relaunches, fancy new client (though more to come)
- The road from Nokia MixRadio to just MixRadio to ???
