The Samsung App Store on the Galaxy S line of Android devices packs less than 10 applications and is usually not the place where you would go for all the cool Android apps. Although it does have Asphalt 5, Vlingo and a free fun utility apps like road SMS, but that’s about the extent of it.
Today I was surprised to find a pretty cool addition to the store in the form of Facebook For Samsung or Facebook S! Apparently Samsung’s isn’t too happy with the current iteration of ‘Facebook for …

Swype is an alternate text entry system that makes makes entering words on a touch based device ridiculously easy. You no longer need to be accurate when you hit the screen and all you do is ‘swype’ across the on-screen keyboard with one continuous finger or stylus motion and the software accurately guesses the word you were wanting to enter. I have been using Swype on the Galaxy S, for over a month now and I am incredibly glad to see this application come to Symbian.

The best part about Swype …

The Nokia N8 features a 3.5″ capacitive multitouch display, but till the last time I say it, only a few apps such as the browser, photos and the email client were able to use the multitouch capabilities. One place that I would have loved to see multitouch work was Ovi Maps but it didn’t support it at that time. However courtesy @Camb078 I have just stumbled on the following video that shows pinch to zoom working inside Ovi Maps on the Nokia N8.
I personally love Ovi Maps and this make …

The FM transmitter on the Nokia N900 is one of my favourite features. The N900 was not the first Nokia to have it but the first to actually have a usable one. This was because you could boost the FM transmitter output and thus get clear sound even in slightly congested airwaves.

But in a city like Dubai or LA, its virtually impossible to get a station where there is no interference from other air waves and this makes the FM transmitter much less useful. But as with most of the …

Divx yesterday release a 1.0 version of the Divx Mobile player for Symbian 3rd Edition and 5th Edition devices and if you, like me, have been waiting for Core Player to get their act together and have been disappointed thus far, this could come as a pleasant surprise.

The playback quality for higher resolution clips may stutter, but the audio quality is good. So if have been wanting to play Divx videos on your phone without having to convert them first, now may be the time to get started. Don’t get …

In what comes as great news for all of us looking to make multiple accounts across multiple services on a Android powered device, TweetDeck for Android should be out this week as a public beta. That’s not all, the Android version has been built from the ground up and represents the future of TweetDeck’s future iPhone and iPad applications.
The focus with this upcoming release is on showing you all your friends’ cross-service activity in one app. ‘Multi-column is still the order of the day but now columns are blended based …

The Symbian OS has not been blessed with an official Foursquare client and there aren’t many third party apps that allow full featured access to the service. There is Gravity with some basic support for Foursquare but it does not quite match up to the versions available for Android and the iPhone.

Enter Sym4square by ThinkChange, a dedicated Foursquare app that looks just like the official Android application is available for a grand price of free. It works using the Foursquare API’s and supports the 5230, 5233, 5235, 5530, 5800, C6, …

In a seriously awesome piece of technological prowess, the N900 can make the call you were thing about without you have to touch a thing. Manipulating the N900 from the mind has been made possible by a Qt based application called ThinkContacts, paired with the NeuroSky MindSet.

The interaction between the user and software is done via brainwaves and for this to happen the user needs the NeuroSky Mindset which reads the user’s brainwaves, uses an analog-to-digital converter and sends the digitalized information via Bluetooth to the phone. The …

The ability to overclock the N900 has existed for a long time now and we have covered it before. But overclocking the N900 has never been so easy, two simple installs from the Application Manager and a short command via the terminal is all it takes. If you have been wanting to try it out but were holding out because it seemed too complicated, this guide is for you.

However, please note that overclocking the N900 will void your warranty, although it is possible to the flash to the stock kernel/state …

In most areas the N900 supports the ability to start typing to automatically search for the relevant content. For example on the homescreen you can starting typing the name of a contact to see it appear without having to goto the contacts application, the same in Conversations and the Application Manager.
The one place that the N900 does not do this is the menu, and if you have a lot of applications installed searching for the one that you are looking for quickly becomes a pain. Enter App Search Widget by …
