Well, I am on a burn test drive with my new Nokia N96. I am giving Nokia’s new series 60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2 literally a tough time! N96 is the second phone after N78 to have FP2 and one of the many advantages of this new OS is that it gives you an option of Multitasking. How? Well, you can open up multiple files and select “Show Open Apps” from options and you will be able to see the number of applications you are running at a time.

First impressions of Mobiola Screen Capture on N96

Now that Nokia’s N96 is finally available in the market, you can lay your hands on one from any of your nearest Nokia stores.

I just got mine and now a days I am just playing with this beast, exploring and discovering every aspect of this multimedia beast. I have to give credit to Nokia for this cause they preloaded the N96 with tons of third party apps and as I am looking deeper into it, I realize that its an amazing product for personal productivity, geeks who are always in the look out for trying out what’s new, all the time!

One of the recent applications that I have been testing is Mobiola Screen Capture. It’s an excellent utility tool. It allows you to sync your N96 with your computer screen. It’s quite convenient as you can connect your phone with your PC wirelessly via Bluetooth. You also have the option of connecting via USB Cable.

Marble Maze: Move your Body baby!!!

Hey! Someone introduced me to an amazing game : never seen before : on N 96, something out of the world. The game is such that it requires you to shake, dance and yet play it to the fore. The game is called Marble Maze.

It’s fun at the same addictive! Basically, the task is to get the ball move through the maze. It has 40 levels, I have managed to crack only 3 levels so far.  The challenge is that you have to avoid the ball from falling into the pits which is quite a task.

The most amazing fact is that all this can be done by simply moving the handset to the direction that you would like to move the ball to. It’s a sensor based game which basically detects movement.

Your World in OVi

When Nokia announced its plans to step into services, the usual impression was, what more can they offer beyond a music store, gaming store, maps etc. It’s gone a long way from there. 

Recently, Nokia announced updates on Ovi as posted on All About Symbian.

Basically, an Ovi suite, a PC software that allows media management and phone sync. An online file storage and remote access to PC files, and Ovi Sync - a service which syncs contacts, calendar events and notes to Ovi.com. 

The new icons that are expected to come on the OVi site over the next couple of weeks.

OVi  Suite enables you to sync between your PC and Nokia phone. This is an evolved version of what you have been seeing with Nokia’s standard PC Suite.

Files on OVi allows you to access your files stored in your PC from your Nokia phone. Because of its online storage feature, you can access files on your PC even when it is switched off. The files can be automatically synced on an online server. Files on OVi terms such files as Anytime Files.
