N95 Download Apps Updated!
Darla Mack has the low-down on the new apps that have been added to the Download! app on the Nokia N95. She found hers on the N95 US 3G, but I was able to update my Euro N95 and it showed the same apps, which is cool.
Some of the cool new apps are Slingplayer for S60, Earthcomber, SLifter, Speech2Go, ScanR, and the Simpsons, as well as a link to the Unlocked campaign website.
Earthcomber is a location-based software that tracks where you’re at and uses the data to point out places you may be interested in. I would imagine we’ll hear/see more of this real soon from Nokia.
SLifter is a personal shopping tool that allows you to search for products and brands and create shopping lists right on your phone.
Speech2Go is *finally* a message reader for Nseries devices. You get a free 2 day trial, after which a full license is only $11.98. Installs clean and reads out incoming caller id, as well as new text messages. Unfortunately, it only has a very robotic sounding male voice, so my enthusiasm is limited. Let me get a female voice with that hot Southern accent and I’m all for it.
ScanR is a really useful piece of software, specifically for the mobile professional. It allows you to snap a pic of a document and then email it as a PDF or even fax it straight from your handset. VERY convenient.
It’s nice to see Nokia finally adding select 3rd party applications to the Download! client. It really makes it useful for consumers. Don’t forget, also, to navigate your phone’s browser to m.Symbian-Guru.com to access the S60v3 Apps Directory, with plenty of links for freeware for your S60v3 device.
Ok, this is strange — all of those show up on my N95-3 except the Simpsons… and that’s what I wanted to look at most!

Seems the E65’s Download! list was also refreshed, with a lot of new things in all categories.
Conrad with qipit, great post on the N95, lots of useful services. Nokia has done a fantastic job by not skimping on the camera quality. This is perfect for services like ScanR and qipit (www.qipit.com). We are both pushing the envelope using camera phones in completely new ways. We need more camera phones with high quality lens, mega-pixel + resolution and auto-focus, so that using your camera phone to capture and share anything printed or written becomes as ubiquitous and as easy as taking and sharing that perfect picture.
If you like Earthcomber, check out our Web app at http://www.earthcomber.com and click on “Try it Now!”. It’ll take you to our Web version that’s still in Beta. Feel free to contact us and let us know what you like and what you don’t like. It’s always good to get some constructive criticism from fellow technology enthusiasts.

There are a lot of cool applications for N95. My favorite must be IM+ and Fring , because I can relate with my friends whenever I want…
