Demo: Audioboo for Symbian. Record and Share Audio to Twitter, Facebook, and more
Audioboo is now available at the Ovi Store. The app allows you to record and upload audio for your friends or family. After recording, you have options to share it on Twitter, Facebook, Posterous, Friendfeed, or Tumblr. Best of all, it’s free! Check out my demo video on the Nokia N8.
Demo: Tippy, Tip Calculator App for Symbian
Trying to figure out how much tip to give when dining out shouldn’t be hard. I just purchased Tippy for my Nokia N8 from the Ovi Store to do that job. It’s only 99 cents. Take a look at the video demo so you can check if it’s worth downloading (I’d say it is worth it).
Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem Review
I’m happy to see my byline under an official Nokia blog today! My review for Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem was just published over at the Ovi Daily App. It’s a typical mash-buttons-until-you-beat-em-up game, but the developers at Gameloft added great visuals, sound, and extras that make it a really fun game.
Quick Look: Mobbler 2.10 for Symbian
The Mobbler team tweeted that a new version (2.10) was released today, so I made a video to show you how it looks like. Here’s a quick look at Mobbler, a Last.fm radio player for Symbian. You can listen to music depending on tags, artists, recommendations, and more. If you’re familiar with Pandora on other platforms, this app is like that but with more options.
Quick Look: ScreenSnap for Symbian, Capture Screenshots on Your Smartphone
Here’s a quick look at a Symbian app that helps me out a lot on this blog. It’s called the Best Screen Snap by Smartphoneware. Once installed, the icon just says ScreenSnap. The app lets you capture screenshots on your smartphone and save them to the phone gallery. You can then transfer it to the desktop or upload it to your imaging hosts.
Nokia N8 Review
The Nokia N8 is the first Symbian^3 smartphone released globally and big emphasis is placed on its imaging capabilities. With 12 megapixel sensor, Carl Zeiss optics, and Xenon flash, the N8 takes amazing photos. However, we’re talking about a phone here. Is the Nokia N8 with the latest Symbian OS good enough to be your daily device? Read on for The Nokia Blog review.
Nokia N8 Unboxing & First Impressions
The Nokia N8 started shipping and we were lucky to get our hands-on the final sales package right away. Check out the unboxing and a couple of first impressions after initial usage. We received the orange one which actually looks pretty good! Watch the video after the jump.
App Video: I Parked Here for Symbian
I Parked Here is an app for Symbian that lets you remember your car’s parking space with a click of a button. It can find your car with the help of Ovi Maps and its free turn-by-turn voice navigation. Just press “Find my car” to get directions. This is great for me because I always forget where I park my car.
Nokia N8 Hands-on and First Impressions
I met with Nokia folks at the Dolby offices in New York City to preview the Nokia N8. I wondered about the location, but it made sense after remembering that the Nokia N8 is world’s first handset featuring Dolby Digital Plus. The whole ordeal was only an hour, so it left me wanting more. Read on for video and photos.
T-mobile Nokia E73 Mode Review
I’ve been playing with the Nokia E73 Mode for a few days now and I want to share with you what I think. It’s 2010 and we’re already used to seeing phones with large touchscreens, but it looks like Qwerty-only devices from Nokia aren’t going away anytime soon. The E73 Mode launches for T-mobile USA on June 16th, 2010 for $69.99 with 2-yr contract.
