Must-Have App: Maps Booster by Skyhook Wireless
My Nokia phones need to find my position accurately and quickly since I use location services like geotagging photos, checking-in on Foursquare, or navigating with Ovi maps. Fortunately there’s a revolutionary app called Maps Booster that helps your Symbian phone find your location really fast no matter what other applications need it. That’s right… I said revolutionary. If you don’t believe me, watch Steve Jobs explain the awesome technology behind the app.

The initial implementations allow you to check-in, shout out, view venues on map, view friends’ check-ins, and even add new venues.

TuneWiki SMP Now Available for Nokia N900 With Awesome Internet Radio
TuneWiki had a widget for the Nokia N900 since launch, but today, they’ve released a full application called TuneWiki Social Media Player (SMP) that you can download for free at the Ovi Store. It works like the widget where you can read lyrics while listening to music, but they’ve added some cool new features. I’m in love with the new internet radio and the option to watch music videos with lyrics!
Learn Something New with WikiHow for Nokia N900
There isn’t a lot of applications for the Nokia N900 at the Ovi Store, so it’s kind of a big deal when new apps show up. The latest one I noticed is called WikiHow. It lets you access over 60,000 how-to articles on several topics. For example, I just learned how to practice proper sushi etiquette. I like what WikiHow is trying to do, but I have a couple of things to complain about their app.
Skyfire for Symbian S60 Updated to 1.5
Skyfire just released version 1.5 of their browser for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th editions. You can download it directly from your device by heading over to m.skyfire.com. I’ve briefly tested it on a Nokia N97 mini. I’m satisfied with how accurate it renders webpages, but it’s still not as fast as I want it to be.
App Review: 2G/3G Mode Selection Applet for Nokia N900
2G/3G Mode Selection Applet works exactly as it sounds. Installing this applet adds 3 buttons to the Nokia N900’s status menu that lets the user change between 2G only, 3G only, or Dual (3G priority) connection. This is a really quick way to change modes without going through other settings. I made a video to show you how it looks.
Watch Out for BarrioSquare – A Foursquare App for Nokia N900
Foursquare just launched a native app on Palm, joining the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android OS. Nokia users don’t have any apps for Symbian or Maemo, so we have to rely on the mobile site instead. Fortunately, a developer named Chris B has written on his blog that he started work on a Maemo app for the Nokia N900 using Foursquare’s public API.
App: Camkeyd for Nokia N900 – Shortcut to Dashboard Using Camera Button
Camkeyd is nifty tool developed by Heikki Holstila that lets Nokia N900 users access the dashboard quickly by half-pressing the camera button. It is disabled when the lens cover is open so it doesn’t mess with camera functionality. Read on for the video demo.
