Shouttr: a noisy step too far for Twitter?

We love checking out Twitter clients. From Firefox add-ons to iPhone apps, Twitter seems to be the web service that is attracting the most creative development. In fact, does anyone tweet from the Twitter homepage anymore?
In this Twitter-frenzied world, it was only a matter of time before things went a bit too far. Shouttr, currently [...]

Resco Bubbles 1.30 (S60 3rd)-Keep a steady hand to pop the bubbles

I’m always impressed by the creative ways in which developers utilize the accelerometer feature inside the Nokia 95 device. Resco Bubbles is one of those motion-sensitive games that really shines.

Your objective in resco Bubbles is to pop all of the bubbles that are spread across the screen by rolling a marble. That might sound easy, but the catch is that these bubbles are numbered and you need to burst them in order.

To make the game even more interesting, Resco Bubbles is played across a range of different surfaces, such as wood, carpet, and linolium. The movement and response of the ball differs depending on the terrain.

Resco Bubbles is played by tilting your phone up and down and side to side to move the ball around. You’ll need to enter the calibration menu before you start for premium accuracy, but this is fairly straightforward to do.

The game is great fun to play and requires lots of dexterity, although it does get a little repetitive with just five levels, so it might be worth upgrading to the full version. Graphically, Resco Bubbles looks nice, with smooth animation and realistic bubble-popping sound effects, although perhaps the addition of a musical soundtrack would’ve lifted the game a bit.

Overall though, Resco Bubbles is one of the more appealing accelerometer-based games.

Group SMS 1.4.8-Send several SMS simultaneously

I don’t know about you but I get fed up with having to tell the same thing repeatedly to loads of different people. Sometimes I wish I could just say it once and everyone hears what I have to say at the same time, even though they’re all miles apart.

Hang on a minute, apparently I actually can do that thanks to Group SMS. This Windows Mobile app allows you to send the same text message to multiple contacts – a feature that most devices running this OS lack.

The program is pretty easy to get to grips with and you’re basically walked through the process of setting the thing up. You can tick a box to ‘Select all contacts’ and the program will auto-detect your contacts from your Outlook address book (you’ll need to sync it first in the Smartphone version). From this list you select the receivers of the message by checking box next to their name. Then simply enter the message and hit ‘Send’ to spread the word.

Although the interface is fairly sparse there are a few neat options, such as the ability to insert pictures or voice notes, and to request notification of delivery. There’s no Help system to speak of, but it’s pretty easy to work out what to do anyway.

If you’re frustrated by the lack of group messaging features in Windows Mobile then Group SMS provides a simple and free remedy.

Sailing Wallpaper-Sun, sea and sailing on your phone

If you’ve always dreamed of a life on the ocean waves, or if you’re a sailor yourself, then you might enjoy having this sailing wallpaper as your mobile phone’s background.

The background image depicts two sailing boats drifting across the sea at twilight. Behind the vessels is a glowing orange sky and a setting sun. A large portion of the picture is given over for the sky, making it conducive to viewing icons and menu options.

The picture is certainly very eye-catching and I felt noticeably more tranquil just by looking at it. However, it looks as if the picture has been badly squashed because the Sun appears egg-shaped.

The Sailing Wallpaper makes for an appealing download for boat lovers.

Rainbow Theme 1.0-Brighten up your display with this colorful theme

If you’re thinking that your phone’s display is a bit dull and boring then why not inject a splash of color into it by installing the Rainbow Theme.

This theme adds a captivating new wallpaper to your home screen. It’s an imaginative picture that features cute fairies unraveling a rainbow in the night sky. I’m pretty sure rainbows don’t come out at night, but we should allow the designer of the theme a little artistic license.

Other highlights of the Rainbow Theme include a redesigned set of menu icons and shortcut buttons. The blue and white design of these icons is very bold and striking, but I found it difficult to figure out what some of the pictures on them were supposed to be.

The Rainbow Theme also adds a new analog clock to your home screen, although the design is quite boring and it’s a bit pixelated.

If you want a sweet and attractive skin to brighten up your phone, then the Rainbow Theme is worth a look.
