Nokia N96 App Review – EasyMap
Name: EasyMap
Description: GPS Map
Summary: Since google came out with its free maps there have been a good few competitors but they never seem to be able to beat Google Maps.EasyMap is another application based on openstreetmap map style and is know for its uasablity and speed. EasyMap uses your gps to find your location and displays the street maps of the local environment and show you the local services you mite need like trains and buses. EasyMap is built for quality and speed but the speed seems to be missing, but the quality of the application more than enough to get you to forget that.
Overview: Well EasyMap is a nice looking application but really lacks function, EasyMap only has the abiltiy to look a the map, no navigation and no search. With the lack of functions you would wonder why the creators want 13$ for it, but if you want to try out the demo then it will last 14 days and will let you see a few of the good points. Truthfully this application has no noticeable value, better to stick with google maps. Read more
Nokia N96 App Review – Yelp
Name: Yelp
Description: Catering/ Service Finder
Summary: The Internet adds a whole new dimention to your nokia n96, yet we are only using about 10% of the internets capabiltiyies. One of the best things about the internet is the information you can find out and the fact that anybody can input their own review of things. For anyone who doesn’t know what Yelp is,Yelp is a search engine that looks for Restaurants, Shopping, Nightlife, Entertainment, Services and More and also users are given the option to rate each service. Now Yelp have released an application for the nokia n96 that allows the yelp search engine to utlise your symbian phone so it can be more efficient.
Overview: I call this an application when really its just a bookmark to their search engine but it not the same as if you went to the website from your browser. Yelp is of course free because who would pay for a bookmark but it does seem quite handy to have if you are looking for some service. One thing with Yelp is that in some countrys there are many more reviews so it mite not be as helpfull to some as it is to others. Read more
