Back in October we saw thetrainline.com advertising their application using the Nokia N8. This app has been available for download from Ovi Store for a few days now and let me tell you that it’s awesome! It is a really slick useful application for UK train travellers. You can check train times as well as [...]
Very new and hot off the Ovi Store shelves is the TRON: Legacy Trivia Game. Get it now as it’s FREE, FREE, FREE! It’s a really well made game – slick interface that includes a host of media including a TRON trailer, videos, ringtones and really neat screensavers. The game is a trivia puzzle based [...]
The UN has intervened between the Angry Birds and the Pigs. In return for the eggs, the pigs will be protected from aerial attacks. This is a momentous occasion for Birds and Pigs everywhere. Or is it? This comes from Israel’s most popular comedy show, “Eretz Nehederet” and the sketch is of course based on [...]
Here’s a very quick and useful tip from Iain Wallace of doitdifferent.wordpress.com on how to download the .sis/.sisx installation files directly from Ovi Store. Now why would you want this? Well you might not have WiFi or mobile data on your phone but may have access to a desktop with internet. I’d sure as heck [...]
Air Hockey. You versus the phone as you try and score a goal with the virtual air lifted puck. First to 5 wins and each round goes to a higher level with slightly harder opponents. It’s really enjoyable (I love Air Hockey at arcades!) and great for those short distractions. It’s well worth a download. [...]

I think these games are S60 5th Edition unless they’ve been updated for Symbian^3 – either way both users will be able to download these apps from the Ovi Store. Sonic Jump Can’t seem to find it on Ovi Store but it was there. Tropical Towers Save the monkeys! Only you can help them [...]
Here’s a somewhat witchcrafty app that you may have come across before called Speed Hero – a Sports Radar application that can help you measure the speed of your ball shots from football to floorball. There’s an actual speed gun there with the Nokia N8 and they’re both reporting identical/similar speeds. This is not like [...]
Thanks to alex68 for the heads up. mobileperry last thursday announced some interesting stats for Ovi Store from Forum Nokia. This 2.7 Million daily downloads is fantastic – that’s 985million/year – almost 1 billion were Ovi Store to stay constant. But that’s the thing – Ovi Store keeps growing. For a while we heard 1.7 [...]
Have you tried Swype yet on your Nokia N8? You can download it for free at the Ovi Store (Thanks Josh Klubi for the heads up). I’ve only used swype before on the N97 and let’s just say resistive screens (especially of that calibur – N900/X3-02 totally beats it out on sensitivity) and fast swyping [...]

Last week we saw that Nokia Panorama was available on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N8. Below is a video demo shot by nuuneoi from showing “Nokia Panorama” in action. Apps like Morpho Panorama use “sweep” – possibly the easiest method where you just sweep from left to right with no pausing or thought [...]
An alternative to Morpho QuickPanorama “Nokia Panorama” is now available at the Ovi Store for free. In contrast to Morpho, the detail seems MUCH higher with the Nokia version. The seams are pretty much invisible. The pic below is from Damien Dining. I don’t have a N8 to test this out so I’m not sure [...]

Ovi Store downloads per day has grown to 2.3million. That’s 840 million annual downloads should Ovi Store stay at this level (ignoring the likelihood growths as 200,000 users sign up to Ovi every day – and more so with the launch of the Symbian^3 handsets). That’s quite a growth from the often mentioned 1.7 million [...]
Brett Butterfield, CEO of PixelPipe gives us a quick overview of the new application, PixelPipe Send and Share coming soon to OVI store. Demoed on the Nokia N8 (but noted that it’s for older devices too), it allows you to quickly and easily upload photos from the gallery. Thanks Brett for the demo. My fault [...]
Here’s an incredible app coming soon to the Ovi Store. It’s called Junaio and it uses the Nokia N8′s (or any) camera to project an alternative augmented reality on the phone’s display. OK. You may have seen this before. What’s really cool is that the content was partnered with a magazine. An ordinary paper print [...]
With the supposed Sept 23rd release date for the Nokia N8 and Nokia World around the corner, the Nokia N8 appears on the Ovi Store as one of the officially supported phones that can access Ovi Apps. I think this is what Cheruki Tarun was referring to in his tip . Cheers! There’s also the [...]
NEW TODAY from Digital Chocolate, one of the best mobile game developers to date: TowerBloxx Delux 3D has appeared on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N900! (Symbian version available). I’d make a demo video and screenshot myself but N900 has gone for some rest and repair (for around 9 days). I’ll update when I [...]
Secret Exit, maker of Zen Bound has released “Spin” for the Nokia N900. It’s available at the Ovi Store now for £3 (UK). For some reason, it’s apparently only 2.99 EUR. (£2.46 – but do you guys pay tax on top of that?) Anyway, zehjotkah has uploaded a video demo of Spin on his N900. [...]
FierceDeveloper’s Mike Dano had an exclusive interview with Director for MeeGo, Valtteri Halla. Some very interesting keypoints: MeeGo vs Symbian: MeeGo geared for high end, beyond handsets. Companies can mix and match what they want in MeeGo – Nokia will have their proprietary applications suite. Nokia are positioning MeeGo as an Alternative to Android Nokia [...]
