When was the last time you came across a vocab app for our 5800? This is one genre which is yet to pick up steam in the ovi store. We have been in the lookout for a vocab app/game for our 5800 since long and it took us long to fall upon anything satisfactory.

The advent of smartphones has totally revolutionized the way people manage their address books. Gone are the days of leather bound address books updated periodically for now they are replaced with address books in digital formats stored either on PC/Macs and or smartphones.

So much for the digital revolution, paper based business cards are still the norm and passing on the data from the card to the digital format can at times be a tedious process, especially when dealing with a large number of contacts. That’s where ABBYY’s Business Card Reader for Nokia smartphones pitches in: ABBYY’s revolutionary OCR has been superbly implemented to read and store data from business cards directly in Symbian contacts.

What do you expect from a game titled “The Most Boring Game”? To bore the hell out of you? Well you are right, the game is infact the one of the most boring ones we have come across on 5800 but wait thats not all to it. We kinda like it too!

The joy that one gets out of squeezing the bubbles and the delight on hearing them burst is something unparalleled. Seems like our developer friends at Kooky Panda missed this pass time so much that they came up with a game for it! Screenshots and further details after the break. Read more »

Its been around a year since the launch now and not only has the 5800 silenced the critics with its stellar sales of around 8  million worldwide, but the developer community has welcomed the new platform with open arms.
