Nokia Aplication review – Hour Power

Name: hourpower

Description: talking clock

Summary: If you all don’t know the n96 has a built in talking clock all you have to do is hold the right menu button and ask you phone “what time is it” and after a few seconds of confirming  it will tell you the time, great. Is that ideal, well no its not. I’m sure many people would love to know the time with out having to wait for confirmation and I’m sure many people don’t want to have to talk to there phone to know the time.  Probably the best talking clock would have to be one that will tell you the time instantly with the touch of a button. So here’s Hour Power its a very simple application that will just tell you the time without any fuss or delay. HourPower uses the text to speech just like the built in one so the voice and language can be changed to whatever you want.

,

Overall: Thinking that this is completely useless is the wrong attitude to have towards it, imagine putting this application as one of your shortcuts one press and you know the time. Also the application doesnt run until you turn it on but once that’s done you will here the time and it will exit. It is also a little more complicated that what I first thought in the sence that the first time you select it will give you options about the time such as turning it into a 24/12 hour clock but after that any time you select the application it will just tell you the time.

HourPower is a free application and is very small so there’s no harm in trying

you can download it free here

Nokia N96 app review – ArcSoft Mobile Video Editor

Name: ArcSoft Mobile Video Editor

Description: Mobile Video Editor

Summary: Arcsoft are a pretty big company that mainly deals with media and that kind of stuff so when they released a mobile video editor you know its going to be good. I know sony erricsons have already have a video editor pre-installed and I always thought that it was one thing nokias lacked in, well no more. This video editor is one heck of a tool supporting  MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, AAC, MP3, AMR, and QCELP codes. With this app you can cut videos to desired length, remove sound clips from videos and insert your own audio file. If your thinking that all it can do you’ll be mistaken because this can also convert images into videos with all manner of transition. In essence you can basically create a big slideshow or story out of any image or video and you can even add effects like sepia, blue, green ect.. as well as background colours and text clips. I know it sound like a lot to handle on a phone but it works exactly like any other video editor for the pc and is so simple to use.

Overview: I am amazed with ease and quality of the application, while using the app you feel like there’s nothing more you can want from a video application and it works more fluently than so many other apps if you dont give it a try you’ll be missing out on something seriously good even if you never thought you’ll need it. Let say that this should be added to the list of apps that you first install when you first get your phone. The weird thing is that Arcsoft themselves dont seem to be selling the application on there own website and all my sourses seem to suggested that this app is free but I just can’t confirm this no matter where I  look so for now I will give a link to download but if anyone knows any more about the copyright of this app please let me know.

The file is unsinged so you will have to sign it befor use
