Nimbuzz

Ever tire of switching between ICQ, MSN, AIM, Facebook, Google Chat and umpteen other chat clients to chat with your vast swarm of adoring fans? No? Hire about switching between just a couple to chat with friends too stubborn to switch to the more popular client? If either of the above ever happen to you I have an app you'll LOVE!

Enter Nimbuzz, this app lets you simultaneously chat between close to thirty different chat programs all through one client. Once installed simply register a new account with Nimbuzz (doable from within the app) and log into each of the clients you wish for Nimbuzz to remember and your set! Next time you go to chat just log into your new Nimbuzz account and it will automatically connect to all your chat clients at once. Happy chatting.

Oh! Market!

It's here it's finally happened! FreewarePC released an app-store styled app! Check it out it's called "O!Market" (link and photos at bottom of page) This is one of the smoothest marketplace apps I have ever seen. Every app is free and it runs a one touch download and install engine keeping things simple. As an added bonus this thing will keep track of what you've installed and let you know if it finds any updates for them.

After playing with O!Market for awhile I've found some neat and some trivial apps, everyone’s favorite kinds.

For starters lets take a look at PockeTwit a twitter app that lets you post messages as well as photos and links to several micro blogging sites.

Then there’s NeoReader the hundred in one scanner program that can pick up Data Matrix, EAN, UPC, Aztec Codes you name it. It can be a little tricky to aim but is pretty quick when it works.

Waze is also a neat app that expands upon the phones GPS giving full turn by turn instructions and will actually speak street names. Just note Waze requires true GPS not AGPS that some phones use.

Then there is SonarCE. I'm not one hundred percent sure why one needs sonar on their smartphone but now you can just please remember the Omnia us NOT waterproof. Yup.

That’s about all for now thanks for reading and I look forwards to more of your comments!

Change of Pace

Well faithful readers I have a quick announcement to make. This post was a lot harder to write then the last few weeks as my posts catch up to my use. I've covered multi tasking, swype, the microsoft office suite, and a bunch of other miscellaneous apps. I realized if I kept going with those large block posts I'd quickly run out of apps so I'm changing my layout into three smaller posts a week. One will review a single app and will also include a suggest an app feature where you can show me YOUR favorite apps simply by commenting. The next post will cover something neat you can do with this awesome phone that isn't directly tied to an app as well as any reviews of "Suggest-an-app". The third post each week will be similar to my current posts only fairly shorter. Hopefully this will give you readers out there more chances to read my poorly written posts as well as a direct way for you to influence what gets posted while giving me more wiggle room with how much homework I have to do all at once. So I encourage you all to post your thoughts and give ME something to read every once in a while! Thanks for reading, I'm off to do more research!

Push button; Launch bacon

Hello again, I'm back, sorry for the late post I've been a little preoccupied as of late as I've just recently found a new game and its been eating up all my free time. If you're at all interested in PC FPS's I highly recommend trying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Fall of Pripyat.

Now back to the regular theme of this blog! I was digging around in the settings folder of my beloved Omnia and found a wondrous feature, custom hardware buttons. Simply goto start> settings> General settings> Button> Assign a program.

I set my cube button so a tap brings up my Task Switcher, holding it brings up my Task Manager useful if shutting those pesky frozen apps that appear now and again (PocketGBA anyone?) and I also have new hardware hotkeys for my Media Player and Microsoft Word where I do most of my blogging from.

Since this discovery I've more then doubled my productivity with this phone. Having a hardware shortcut to "The Cube" menu was a waste as custom apps don't show up there anyway.

Thanks for reading and once again I encourage you to post your comments, let me know what you think.
