You know when your app store isn’t doing great? When there is an app to suggest the best apps within the app store. iTunes App store has a few of them but now over our Ovi store has seen an entry in this segment of apps. Unlike the ones in iTunes App store, this one comes from the store keeper’s themselves: yeah that’s right Nokia itself has developed and released the topApps on Ovi store, an app which very much lives up to it’s name.

So what exactly does topApps do, other than listing the best selling apps in the Ovi store? Quiet a few other things as well. Find out after the break. Read more »

Does the name eyeSight ring any bells for our Tube5800 followers? If it doesn’t let us remind you that it is the same company which released the magical eyeCall application which we gaveaway in one of our Tube5800 contests dating back to June 2009! We have come a long way indeed and so has eyeSight which recently released their music player-Moove, which does more than playing the music!

Perhaps the title of the post gave it away already, and if that didn’t the screenshot of Moove MP3 player welcome screen on the left should have. The USP of this app is not the music player but the control mechanism which puts the front facing camera to good use. Find out what and how of Moove on 5800s, after the break. Read more »

It’s been a while since the Sports tracker appeared in the Nokia Beta Labs, where it was a huge success. Such was the popularity of this app that it won the Best Mobile Internet Service Award in last year’s GSMA Global Mobile Awards. No wonder the app not only graduated from Nokia Beta Labs, Jussi Kaasinen and Ykä Huhtala, the developers of the app now head the Sports Tracking Technologies (STT), a spin-off company working on the award winning service.

Coming to Sports Tracker, it’s an amazing logger app for fitness aficionados which not only logs your fitness routine but also helps you evaluate and share  (presently not working but should be working in a matter of time) your fitness regime with the rest of the world. With tight integration with GPS module onboard our 5800s, this app converts your 5800 to an effective pedometer and with interactive maps, this is one killer combo, you don’t wanna miss. Catch some screenshots and brief review after the break. Read more »

Internet radio has been on the web since long and has catched up with the mobile platform off late. While the likes of Pandora and Last.fm rule the roost, there are several online radio stations beaming live radio to netizens across the globe.

However, internet radio is something that our 5800 has been intrinsically missing with the Symbian 5th edition OS lacking a dedicated internet radio client. Well, what are the third party developers for? HotmixRadio is one such client and a very good at it as it categorizes on the basis of popular genres for easy selection. Catch our brief review and some screenshots after the break. Read more »

10×10! Is that a grid size or something? That’s what we first thought when we first saw this app at the ovi store. Intrigued by its name, we decided to take the plunge into the app and see what it has to offer and we are kinda glad we dived in, for 10×10 takes a fresh look at news, of which an awful lot is covered in several media today.

So what does 10×10 really do? True to its name it delivers “100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time” on your 5800s. So basically what we are looking at is photo journalism with a touch of difference for it’s delivered straight on to your 5800s. Sounds interesting, ain’t it? Find out more about this innovative app in our brief review after the break. Read more »

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to carry the entire Wikipedia in your pocket? Of course you have been able to do so with a high speed data connections but offline access to databases of this type has its own advantages: It’s much faster than using your data connection (if you’re lucky enough to have one) and always available. We can think of hundreds of scenarios where offline access would come handy (when traveling, in meetings, underground train, plane). Fortunately for us, WikiPock have sorted this one out with their application-WikiPock, which brings offline access to Wikipedia for 5800ers and more.

Now if you have ever stopped by the encyclopaedia section in a library, you would know how gigantic encyclopedic databases can be, but WikiPock does an amazing job of compressing the entire Wiki collection to just around 4.7 GB, yeah that’s right- 4.7 GB! That’s a big chunk but worth every bit of info on it. What makes us say so? Find out after the break. Read more »

As promised we are back with another Tube5800 contest, and while we don’t have a USD 100 gadget like in our earlier contest, we have a very handy application to give-away, which many of you would love to have on your 5800.

Remember Apple pulling down the shutters on its 5000 odd adult themed apps over-night sometime last month? Well, we all know how frivolous Apple can be when it comes to their app screening policies but we are now seeing similar behavior in Nokia’s Ovi store as well. Well not exactly as unpredictable as Apple but taking a leaf out of Apple’s approach of keeping its app repository “clean”, Nokia have banned “Bikini Clock” from their Ovi store.

Nokia never really took a stand against pornography and Bikini clock doesn’t have anything that one wouldn’t see on a public beach. So, the rejection must have been a jolt from the blue for the developers but unlike Apple’s strict control, symbian developers are legally allowed to release their apps via third party stores. So here’s Bikini Clock for you. Read more »

Our friends at MMMOOO just can’t help making things better, now can they? Released just prior to the biggest festival in China and elsewhere, the Lunar New Year, the latest version of MyPhone (v2.50) is the best emulator to date for the symbian fifth edition platform.

As you might know by now, MyPhone does more than just mimicking the iPhone interface on your 5800s, with games like Memo Deduction, and now the latest version has added the archery game, which is just perfect to get rid of those boring minutes (or hours) of your daily transit time. As always we are also releasing the Tube5800 edition of MyPhone, which comes with our now familiar iPhone Killer wallpaper, homepage link to our blog and our blog RSS feed in the MyPhone RSS reader. Find out what’s more in store, after the break though. Read more »
