Yes, there’s been a YouTube app on Android from the beginning. That’s kind of the point, though – the YT app has always been inextricably tied in with the Android OS. youtube mp3 converter

We keep so much of our personal data on our phones these days, yet it’s hardly the most discreet storage solution.

We do our best to bring you the choice cuts from the Android Market, but the truth is it’s one of the toughest mobile stores to navigate (even with the recent improvements).

We’ve covered similar apps on other platforms before, but Blog Radio is the first Ovi example we’ve featured.

It could be said that Dukto, an open source means of transferring your files from Symbian phone to computer (and vice versa), adopts the opposite philosophy to equivalent Nokia services like PC Suite and Ovi Suite.

For all the talk of 3D films and games, no one seems to be sparing a thought for poor old photography.

Generally speaking, the best early app releases on Windows Phone 7 are the ones that have made the biggest effort to integrate into the funky WP7 aesthetic.

The default Games section of your spangly new Windows Phone 7 device is all very nice, but Xbox 360 console gamers will want a little more.

With Nokia’s latest flagship device, the N8, safely in our hands, it seemed like a good opportunity to test the company’s updated Own Voice app. Tying in closely with Ovi Maps, it allows you to record your own directional commands and use them in place of those dull default voices.

There isn’t so much as an inch of fat on Translate’s bones – even the title drops all but the most essential of words. This is a strictly functional translation app, but it works very well indeed – you choose your languages, type a phrase and tap to translate.

Everyone’s favourite Android security app has now received a Premium version which adds remote wiping, remote locking, and enhanced backup and restore features. The latter is perhaps the most interesting feature for everyday users, as it now lets you back-up and transfer your photos should you change phone.

Regardless of your opinion on The Mirror and its lowest common denominator approach to news reporting, it deserves a lot of credit for getting an app onto Ovi Store. It’s one area where it puts tabloid and broadsheet rivals to shame.

Opera 10.1 is officially out of beta, and it’s pretty much essential for all Symbian^3 and S60 users. Why? Because, to put it bluntly, it knocks Nokia’s default browser into a cocked hat. That’s no disgrace though, as Opera has been up there with the very best mobile browsers for some time.

Unlike its fruity rival, the Android platform doesn’t have a strong native media player and accompanying PC software with which to organise and sync your music files. This latest effort from Winamp is one of the strongest solutions yet.

I don’t know, you wait ages for a wirelessly syncing media player for your Android then two come along at once. DoubleTwist has been around a little longer than Winamp (on Android at least), but it’s only just received the ability to sync music files wirelessly via the AirSync add-on.

The Internet is rather big, isn’t it? As if that wasn’t enough, you now have thousands of mobile apps to trawl through. StumbleUpon helps alleviate such information overload and makes good old fashioned web surfing fun and relevant again.

One vital service that’s overlooked by pretty much all service-locating apps is street-parking.

It’s all very well having that nice official YouTube app on your Android phone, streaming videos through your 3G or Wi-Fi connection, but what about when there’s no signal?

StartTalking takes advantage of Google’s excellent voice-recognition and synthesis software to create a completely hands-and-eyes-free messaging system.

For those who spend much of their working lives out on the road, figuring out your mileage at the end of the month can be a monotonous task – particularly when you haven’t kept proper tabs on where you’ve been.

It’s been called “YouTube for ebooks,” though that’s more in reference to Wattpad’s focus on user-generated content than its interface, which is decidedly grey and unappealing.

This F1 season has been the most exciting for a very long time, with five drivers involved in the title hunt. Now Nokia and BlackBerry-owning F1 nuts can keep up to date on every practice session, qualifying round and race result.

It might strictly speaking fall under the category of ‘game’ rather than ‘app’ (developer Rovio made Angry Birds) but Ovi Maps Challenge is as much a light-hearted educational tool as anything. Dare we use that dreaded term “edutainment”? Too late – we just did.
