Nokia Ovi store is evolving very rapidly and undoubtedly the number of applications are increasing every second. Till date we have talked about many applications for touch screen phones of which most perform the task of tweaking or gaming or messaging etc but today we are going to talk about an app that would keep you updated with the latest ongoing in the country.
Available on the Ovi store website is the application called IBNLive which is capable of transforming your touch screen mobile phone into a typical news material.

The app is completely customizable according to the taste of different users and the type of news they want to read. One can even filter the news according to the categories as the Cities category would let you select news for Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. while Cricket category lets you see the live scores, fixtures of matches etc. It also lets you surf through photo galleries and videos of the recent news and even some blogs can be accessed under the blogs section.

Delivering news is what this app does and other than providing news in text, one can also stream IBN live news channel.

Reminder, Alarm Software For Mac OS X

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 01:28 AM PST

Most of us have physical alarm clocks beside by our bedsides, or an alarm feature in our mobile phone. But if you like to wake up in style, you can convert your Mac OS X machine (MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini/Pro) into a giant alarm clock.
Pester is a minimal, free app that allows you to easily set alarms on Mac OS X. Not only can you set alarms, but also reminders for tasks/events. This feature can come in handy for people who do not like taking their hands off their keyboards once in place. Although a phone makes more sense as a reminder device (as it is always with you) but for some purpose-specific tasks such as online payment of bills or updating apps on your Mac, an alarm on the machine itself makes more sense.

Pester provides you just the right amount of features you need in an alarm clock app. Some of them are:

Timer – If you’re taking a sample paper at home and want to time yourself, Pester is the quickest way to countdown and alert you when your time is up.

System Sounds and Custom Music – You can use any of the standard Mac OS X alert sounds such as Glass, Ping, Morse or Purr, or set your own favorite music for the alarm.

Pop Up Message Display – When your alarm goes off, a pop up message appears that floats above all other windows and is persistent across Spaces so that you don’t miss an alarm. You get a snooze option right from the pop-up.

Growl Support – Pester can use the Growl notification system to generate a standard notification when your alarm goes off.
Persistent Dock Notif – Pester stays in your dock until the alarm goes off, and displays a countdown timer until the next alarm.

Pester indeed is true to its name: once you set an alarm, it will pester you incessantly until the alarm goes off.

Sleep, Turn Off Touch Screen On Nokia Symbian Phones Using Light Sensor

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:31 AM PST

Are you the owner of a fully touch screen Nokia mobile phone or have you ever used one for an appreciable time? What is the most annoying thing about such phones? Although the problem is not big enough yet it is considered as one because of the fact that it troubles people sometimes.
We are talking about the keypad lock of such phones which most of the users like us forget to activate in situations of hurry. Sometimes it is our carelessness which leaves the keypad unlocked and prone to possibilities of getting touched not by our own fingers but by things around it. So when we put the phone with an unlocked keypad in our pocket or any bag, the phone is likely to come in contact the surrounding and such touches eventually open unwanted apps or the messages or dial numbers and a number of other things.

Ironically such unwanted activities explore your phone more than you do and sometimes even amaze us by opening windows which were unexplored otherwise. So can we do anything to avoid such minor troubles ? Well we can and impressively, without pressing any button. Yes you get me right. PocketLock is an app developed by Nokia specifically for touch phones which lets you lock the keypad every time you put it in compact spaces like you pocket or bag and importantly you need not press the lock button.
The app even starts automatically when the phone is switched on and runs in the background all the time. The interface literally is the simplest one and powerful enough to impress you. How it works? The time you put the phone in a closed space it senses it and locks the keypad and the moment you pull the phone out, it unlocks it. Convenient enough?
So what are you waiting for, download it and bring your keypad problem to an end.
