Advertisements Here’s “Candle” another one of those free apps where it’s just difficult to see any practical use for it. Maybe waving it at a gig? Impromptu candle for a romantic dinner? It’s a realistic candle that you can put out by swiping, and lighting up by double swiping. It works in portrait and landscape […]
“Lights” is a free application from the Ovi Store for S60 5th edition but it does work best if you’ve got a QWERTY keyboard (i.e. N97 or N97 mini). The application basically controls the lights on your phone, be it the keyboard lights, the red/green call/end keys, screen light or even the charger light. You […]
A while ago, we got a glimpse of Digia’s @Web browser, a webkit based browser than just had spectacular features I’ve been waiting for from the native browser. It’s main selling features were its touch optimization and multiple tabbed browsing (up to 4). Now, Opera Mini 5 beta has been released and it simply cruises […]
Are your kids treating you like a taxi service? Maybe it’s your girlfriend/wife or your mates who are using you as their own personal chauffeur? Using this free application from the Ovi Store, Dad’s Cab, you can now start “charging” those free loaders for some well earned fares as you drive your kids to school […]

You’ll see a 3D coin resembling a penny twisting around in the “air”. It would have been nice if the speed/height/rotation was affected by the degree initial […]

It’s somewhat limited in functionality at the moment, e.g. There’s space for other communities (e.g. twitter in future?) but only facebook is accessible – and the […]
This is a nice touch based alternative to the default S60 converter. It’s free at the Ovi Store. Prominent number pad – very useful particularly for touch only use (and this app only recognizes touch input). Default S60 converter can of course use the keypad/keyboard and keypad touch (though only visible when you click on […]
You’re probably aware of these two apps already – again just another highlight. Shazam and Midomi are similar music discovery engines that are currently free the Ovi Store. Get the app to listen to a piece of music – sends that recording online then immediately gets back to you with the details. Shazam is free […]
Here are some popular online flash files for your N97/5800/5530- basically most S60-flash capable devices, although some will only work with Touch/keyboard/D-Pad (though an onscreen D-pad is available). All app menus are accessible via touch It’s advisable to set flash quality to “low” for increased frame rate on the games and then set to full […]
