What started as a viral video is now in serious development in hands of Google which owns Android which is the most popular smartphone operating system. Phonebloks, the concept of modular smartphone, went viral towards late 2013 and sometime later, Motorola, then owned by Google, took the matter into its hands and started Project Ara - Modular smartphone.

Nokia's iconic ringtone celebrates its 20th birthday. It was first introduced back in 1994 on the Nokia 2110 and has seen several changes over the years, but the melody has been the same, says Nokia. Each and every Nokia phone since 2110 came with the signature Nokia tune as the default ringtone. Nokia even ran a contest to find a refreshed version of the tune for its Lumia Windows Phone handsets back in 2011. Nokia ran a similar contest in 2012 in several other countries including India to find the regional version of the ringtone for Nokia devices alongside for 2013. In an interview to BBC back in 2011, Musician Thomas Dolby, who co-invented the ringtone synthesizer embedded in Nokia phones said that the Nokia theme was actually composed over 150 years ago by an obscure waltz composer. The Nokia ringtone is also called Grande Valse and was composed in 1902, and was released only after 92 years on the 2110, says Nokia. Have you owned a Nokia phone? Isn't the Nokia Tune one of the best ringtones ever?

Google is rumored to be testing new versions of GMail and Google Calendar app for Android. According to rumors, they point towards a big visual overhaul of the user interface and user experience. Google Calendar is reportedly getting a makeover making it look more like iOS calendar. One of the first things that you will notice about this overall visual change is that Google is ditching the lines and grids which were predominant in the Google Calendar app. Now, flat icons and colors take up most of the visual cues. In addition to the visual changes, Google seems to have also added a couple of features along with the new Google Calendar app. Google has included the daily agenda as well as improved the social integration of the events. There is still no word on when this app will be made public. Since it is just being tested, the new visually distinct Google Calendar may or may not make it to the users. Source
