Glastonbury Festival which is nearly upon us. and to make navigating the huge festival and getting the most out of the long weekend, Orange in association with the Guardian Guide have created the official app for Nokia which is available for free from http://glastonbury.orange.co.uk/.

A video demonstrating the app can be seen below -



Features include:

• Schedule and programmable ‘My Planner’ in association with the Guardian Guide allowing the user to customise their own line up for the weekend.
• Interactive map with one click ‘now and next’ listings for stages and 'mood map'.
• News section featuring up to date content from Glastonbury Festival and The Guardian including direct updates from the festival over the weekend
• Ability to share line-ups via Facebook before and during the festival

This year's map is the most accurate, useful and interactive yet. Clicking on individual stages will bring up acts playing now and next; clicking on a band currently playing will offer the option to share to Facebook and clicking on a variety of on-site locations will enable you to share how you’re feeling and be a part of a real time 'mood map'.

My tip: turn the screen brightness down low to make sure the battery last longer! There are also Orange 'chill and charge' tents on site for those that need to recharge.

Enjoy this official Glastonbury 2011 app for Symbian S60 5th edition and Symbian^3 touch screen smartphones such as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, N97, N97 Mini, X6, 5228, 5230, 5233, 5235, 5530 XpressMusic, N8 and C7.

Game Review : Angry Birds vs Monty Python's Cow Tossing

What is so different or similar between Angry Birds, one of the most popular mobile game and Monty Python's Cow Tossing? Well, both of these games are very much similar in gameplay and graphics. I am not sure why the later is left behind in promotion. Here is a quick analysis of these two games after playing them on my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

Angry Birds	Monty Python's Cow Tossing
OS: Symbian S60 5th Edition	OS: Symbian S60 5th Edition
Total no. of Levels: 45	Total no. of Levels: 45
Background Music: OK	Background Music: Nice
Graphics: Good and bright	Graphics: Nice and little dark
Level Difficulty: Easy	Level Difficulty: Little more difficult
What OVI says: The survival of the Angry Birds is at stake. Dish out revenge on the green pigs who stole the Birds ’ eggs. Use the unique destructive powers of the Angry Birds to lay waste to the pigs’ fortified castles. Angry Birds features hours of gameplay, challenging physics-based castle demolition, and lots of replay value. Each of the 45 levels requires logic, skill, and brute force to crush the enem y. Protect wildlife, or play Angry Birds!	What OVI says: Epic. Historic. Totally inaccurate. Arthur and his trusty Knights are on a sacred quest to seek the Holy Grail. They happen upon a castle inhabited by you, naughty French barbarians whose Master claims to "already have one". Defend your Citadel with an adjustable catapult against those English types, using a cackle of projectiles that belong more down the farm than 10 feet in the air.

Orientation: Landscape	Orientation: Landscape
Characters: Cow, chicken, birds, sink	Characters: Cow, chicken, birds, sink

For me, Angry Birds was little easier than Monty Python's Cow Tossing. Clearing all 45 levels did not take much time but with later, it took more time as you have more difficult levels than Angry Birds. Both the game are equally interesting with similar objects, objective and gameplay.

Mobile Phones That work Abroad

The HTC Desire is one of the hottest phones currently on the market and its popularity has led to shortages in stock levels. If you are planning to pick up a Desire with the intention of taking it abroad, then its roaming abilities should not disappoint. The Desire is compatible with the majority of international networking standards and its quad band compatibility means that it will operate well in both Europe and the USA. Selecting a network by hand or allowing the Desire to choose an appropriate foreign provider is open to preference and its simple, intuitive menu system with touch sensitive interactions should further simplify things.

The Samsung Tocco Lite is a popular entry-level smartphone that lacks the high end hardware of its more expensive peers, but still has the necessary software and connectivity tools to make it well equipped for use overseas. You will not have to alter any of its core settings for use when roaming, because by default it is set to seek out an appropriate foreign carrier when it is taken overseas. However, you can use its touch screen interface to make your own manual selection of a network, which may be useful if you know that your domestic provider has a roaming deal with a specific partner in your destination.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is not only an excellent smartphone powered by the Android platform, but it is also a suitably versatile travelling companion thanks to its quad band network connectivity and its ability to download at high speeds via HSDPA and 3G networks. The Xperia X10 has received critical appreciation for its roaming capabilities and you can set the phone to automatically choose a suitable alternative to your standard network provider if service is unavailable or you are out of the country with your phone. Alternatively you can use the wireless controls menu to manually select from a list of available providers.

The BlackBerry 8520 Curve is a smartphone specifically designed for the business user with fairly serious messaging requirements. Its full QWERTY keypad simplifies typing longer messages and it is optimised for email. Because the target audience will be expected to travel to different regions, the 8520 is a quad band compatible handset, which means that most international destinations will offer networks to which it can connect. The 8520 also boasts integrated wireless connectivity, which uses the universal Wi-Fi b and g standards, so internet connectivity for messaging, web browsing and email access is also possible no matter where you go.

The Nokia X6 is one of the Finnish manufacturer's flagship smartphones and its generous 16GB of on-board memory means that it is a traveller's dream. You can fill it with hours of music and video, allowing it to act as a multimedia hub for your time away. The X6's touch screen display and intuitive menu system are coupled with the powerful Symbian operating system. As with all good smartphones, it is compatible with multiple network types, including 3G. It should be easy to automatically search for a partner network associated with your provider and to access most of the services that you can enjoy whilst at home.

Reviews the MacBook Air

As you probably know, I'm one of the people who, upon first opportunity after the Macworld Keynote ended a few weeks ago, exited the hall into the lobby of Moscone West and immediately ordered a MacBook Air — the 1.6 Ghz version with the 80GB hard drive, to be exact. I've already spelled out my reasons for ordering one and you've all had a chance to comment and otherwise make your views known, good or bad, regarding my decision. 

Now, after waiting for Apple to ship my MacBook Air to me, its finally here and in my hands. In fact, I'm writing this very review on it. 

So, now that it's here and I can examine it more closely, use it and otherwise put it through its paces, does it live up to my expectations? 

Will I really miss not having Firewire or more than one USB port? 

Will the MBA become my notebook of choice or now that I can actually use it, do I regret ordering? 

For those answers, and more, read on.

Size and Weight

First, let's talk about what many people (particularly Apple) are talking about: how thin and light the MacBook Air is. At 3 pounds and .76' thick, the MBA is the lightest and thinnest notebook I've ever used and for me, the weight in particular was a major deciding factor in getting the MacBook Air. Now that I have had a chance to carry it around in my bag for a day or so, I can say the lack of weight makes an even bigger difference than I originally thought.

To be sure, nobody has ever called me small or weak in the past so its not that I can't carry a couple extra pounds around in the form of a notebook and associated peripherals. Its just that if I don't have to, why should I? 

The MBA being this small and light and still feeling solid and very usable makes for a winning combination. And let's not forget that the MBA's power brick is very small and light as well. 

The power brick for the MBA is even smaller and weighs less than the one used by the MacBook, so that makes a difference too, especially as I'm used to carrying the giant brick for the MacBook Pro. If you still can't imagine how little 3 pounds is or how really small the power brick is, head to your local Apple store and heft one for yourself. Then, go pick up a MacBook Pro. 

The difference is pretty amazing...
