Snotify is an application that let you set up a schedule on your Windows Phone device for when Notification sounds should be disabled. You can set different schedules for email, texts and some other notifications. At the moment you can only set one schedule that will apply every day, it may be changed in the near future to add schedules based on the day of the week, just like the built-in alarm.
This app relies on a background task to toggle the setting. Unless the “Resource Intensive Task” is allowed to run it may take up to 30 minutes for the application to react.

We first found out about the Nokia 808 PureView, a smartphone with a 41MP camera, which can’t be compared to anything seen on a phone up until now, at its debut in the beginning of this year. Back than the company announced, that its sales would begin this May and now they have confirmed this information. At first the device is going to be available in Russia and India – hardly a surprise, considering the popularity, which Symbian has on these markets and, of course, their sheer size.
We remind you that the Nokia 808 is the first ever smartphone to use Nokia’s new PureView technology, which won the award for innovation of the photography organisation TIPA. It relies on a huge sensor, special Carl Zeiss optics and complex algorithms and the result is frankly stunning. For instance, the phone is able to shoot Full HD video (despite the single-core processor) with 4x zoom without losing any of the quality – this is achieved with the usage of all of the available megapixels.
In the past few months fate hasn’t been kind no RIM and they were losing market positions about as fast as Nokia, who are currently switching from Symbian to Windows Phone. The Canadians, though, are betting everything on just one card – the new BlackBerry OS 10, which is going to debut later this year along with a new series of devices, running on it. At the BlackBerry World event in Orlando RIM officially revealed the platform and for the first time shared some details about it. The OS itself is based on QNX – the same software can be found in the PlayBook, but is, of course, optimized for smartphones. The company’s tablet is also going to receive an update to the platform later this year.
One of the key features, on which RIM focused at the event, were the gestures, which allow the user to quickly access documents, apps and events notifications. Of course, being so popular with their near-perfect QWERTY devices, the Canadians have also had to work on making a remarkable onscreen keyboard. The one, featured in BlackBerry OS 10, is going to rely on enhanced algorithms for touchscreen typing and is even going to learn the user’s habits with time. The keyboard also includes a special word predicting technology and allows for quick access to symbols through gestures.
