Best Nokia Ovi Store Apps for Partying!
You may have had your fill of parties over Christmas but with a new decade only just warming up we have so many more occasions to celebrate and be thankful for. Here we look at the latest Nokia Ovi Store apps for anything looking for a good time.
Holidays are coming… holidays are coming. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus or are just eager to welcome 2010 in style chances are you will find yourself at some kind of seasonal celebration around this time of year. Can your Nokia help see you through? But of course..
Spotify
Size: 1.945 MB
Price: £9.99/month
DOWNLOAD: Spotify
Planning a party? Don’t waste money on expensive DJs, just subscribe to Spotify Premium (or buy one of their 24-hour licenses) and plug your mobile into the sound system. Spotify mobile has the complete selection of tunes available to desktop users and if you are canny you can let your guests contribute to the playlist via their own copy of Spotify. You might want to arrange a wifi connection at the party venue, mind you, unless you plan to load up the entire playlist into onboard memory.
Miseltoe
Size: 0.18 MB
Price: Free during the festive period
DOWNLOAD: Miseltoe
A sprig of hemi-parasitic plant symbolising fertility to ancient Britons? That’s pretty much the dictionary definition of ‘old fashioned’. Put a modern spin on your repurposed pagan rites by dangling a Nokia over your head, running this cute little app. We aren’t 100% sure that a virtual sprig of miseltoe will get you showered in kisses but it might be a bit of a conversation piece, and you can quickly call a taxi if it all ends embarrassingly.
Shazam
Size: 0.63 MB
Price: Free (trial version)
DOWNLOAD: Shazam
One of the most maddening things at a party is when they play a great tune but nobody knows what it is or who it is by. Shazam can come to the rescue with its magical tune-recognition algorithms. Just let the app ‘listen’ to a few bars of the tune in question and it will try to guess what it is. The free version is limited to 5 tunes per month, but that should be enough to get your through at least one party so you can decide if it is worth shelling out for.
Bambuser
Size: 0.14 MB
Price: Free
DOWNLOAD: Bambuser
Should you be struck down with Swine Flu (or worse, Man Flu) this year you will have to sit in quarantine and miss the big party. If you are unlucky enough to find yourself in this situation you may be glad of Bambuser, which will let your non-ill friends stream live video of the xmas do straight to you via wifi or 3G while you slurp your lemsip. Alternatively, you can just use this neat app to preserve the event directly onto the web for refreshing people’s hungover memories the next day.
