New Apps Released For The 5800 XpressMusic

For Nokia 5800 fans who were wondering when the company would release applications for the touchscreen handset, the wait is over. Nokia has released six new applications for the handset that include

WaveSecure
It not only helps you track the lost phone but also ensures full security of the data on the device by allowing you to track the lost/stolen device via Buddy Notification or over the Internet.
Remotely Lock the lost/stolen device, so that nobody can misuse the device and data. Backups of your data including Contacts, SMSs, Calendar Entries and Call Logs can be created and users can also erase the data on the stolen device to avoid misuse. You can also be able to restore the data back onto your device once you find it or even restore it on a new device which has WaveSecure installed.

SMS Timer
SMS Timer allows you to schedule SMS/MMS messages to be sent on a future date and time. The application functions exactly like the standard messaging application allowing you to define multiple recipients. Users would be able to schedule messages to go out a designated date and time. It will also enable regularly checking of your bank account balance by scheduling periodic information request messages.

Smart Guard
Smart Guard protects all your private information (e.g. Messages, Contacts, Videos, Pictures etc.) both on the phone's internal memory and on the memory card with a password. It will allow users to keep business information or secrets hidden in the best manner and avoid casual browsing on the phone.

The list also has a few touchscreen games available –

Marble Maze
Marble Maze is a labyrinth game that utilizes the orientation sensor built inside the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. In this game you control a ball in a labyrinth by tilting the device in your hands and lead the ball into a goal. Currently there are 40 different labyrinths to solve, and 3 different types of balls viz. a metal ball, a rubber ball, and a super ping-pong ball. In this super addictive game you can advance from simple to the more difficult levels requiring skill, accuracy, and determination to hit the high scores.

Touch Card Match
This version of the classic 'Card Memory' game comes with an audio visual interface with engaging graphics and touch control. In the first of three levels you have 20 cards to match and set the pace. You can then challenge yourself with 40 cards in the 2nd and move up to 60 cards in the last. The game play is deceptively simple. You just need to tap on the face down cards and turn them over to see the visual on the face before it hides itself in seconds. Go on to find a similar visual under another card and, voila! You score a point if the visuals match.

Touch Maneuver
'Touch Maneuver', the virtual version of the classic 'Don't touch the wire game' involves users having to drag their fingers across the screen without touching any of the other icons displayed.

Although the games are not really very graphically attractive, I’m hoping the N97 with N-Gage will encourage Nokia to speed up mobile game development for the 5800 XpressMusic as well. I downloaded the set up files and tried installing them on the device I was given for testing, however I consistently got an error stating – Certificate Expired. Hopefully you won’t have the same issues.

Navigating the Depths: Understanding, Treating, and Preventing Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical medical condition that demands a comprehensive exploration of its intricacies. In this blog post, we will delve into the causes, diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and preventative strategies to shed light on this often life-threatening occurrence. Unveiling the Causes of Pulmonary Embolism : 1. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): PE often originates from deep vein thrombosis, where blood clots in the deep veins, typically in the legs, can break loose and travel to the lungs. 2. Surgical Procedures and Trauma: Surgery and traumatic injuries can elevate the risk of clot formation, especially during periods of immobilization in the recovery phase. 3. Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and sedentary habits contribute to a pro-thrombotic state, increasing the likelihood of DVT and subsequent PE. 4. Genetic and Hormonal Factors: Inherited conditions affecting blood clotting, hormonal contraceptives, and pregnancy can predispose individuals to pulmona

Understanding Trans Fats and Their Impact on Heart Health: Unveiling the Science and the Indian Scenario

Trans fats have become a topic of concern in recent years due to their detrimental effects on heart health. These fats, predominantly found in processed foods, pose a significant risk to cardiovascular well-being. In this blog post, we will explore the science behind trans fats, their impact on the heart, shed light on the concerning scenario in India, and discuss common sources of trans fats in our daily diets. Additionally, we will provide practical tips on how to avoid trans fats and make informed choices for a healthier heart. Part 1: The Science Behind Trans Fats and Heart Health What are Trans Fats? Trans fats are artificially created fats formed through a process called hydrogenation. During hydrogenation, liquid vegetable oils are treated with hydrogen gas, leading to the formation of partially hydrogenated oils. These oils contain trans fatty acids, which alter the structure of the fat molecules. The Science Behind Trans Fats and Heart Health : 1. Cholesterol Imbalance : Trans

India's Vulnerability to Inflation and Currency Depreciation: Understanding the Major Drawbacks

India, like many countries, faces various challenges that can make it vulnerable to inflation and currency depreciation. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of the currency, while currency depreciation can lead to higher import prices, affecting the economy. In this blog post, we will explore some major drawbacks that leave India vulnerable to these economic issues. 1. High Dependence on Imports India imports a large quantity of crude oil, gold, and other commodities, making it susceptible to fluctuations in global prices. Any sudden increase in the price of these commodities could lead to higher fuel prices, which can then drive up transportation costs and ultimately push prices higher across the economy. In addition, the cost of gold imports can affect the current account deficit and the value of the Rupee. Example: In 2018, global oil prices increased significantly, leading to higher fuel prices in India. This impacted inflation and the value of the Rupee as India is heavily depen

Intel 2Q profit jump reflects healthy PC demand

SAN FRANCISCO - Worried that the ailing U.S. economy has spilled abroad and hurt global PC sales, investors had subdued expectations for Intel Corp. in the second quarter. Intel is the world's largest computer chip maker, and its fortunes rise and fall with swings in PC demand. The Santa Clara-based company responded Tuesday with a 25 percent jump in profit and record sales in the quarter, fueled by strong sales of processors for laptop computers. The results easily beat analysts' expectations and reassured Wall Street that Intel is weathering the dreary domestic economy thanks to its broad international reach, a robust product lineup, and a manufacturing advantage over smaller rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. that lowers Intel's cost of making chips. Intel Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said demand for Intel's chips remains strong "in all segments and all parts of the globe." Three-quarters of Intel's business is outside the U.S. Intel shares rose

Gigabyte Launches EP45 Mobo Range

Japan's Work Culture: A Comprehensive Examination

Japan's work culture is often lauded for its dedication, efficiency, and unwavering commitment to productivity. However, beneath this veneer of unwavering diligence lies a darker reality – a culture that has normalized overwork, perpetuated a pressure to conform, and left little room for personal well-being. The prevalence of karoshi, or death from overwork, is a stark testament to the detrimental effects of Japan's work culture. An estimated 10,000 people succumb to karoshi each year, highlighting the alarming consequences of excessive work hours and the relentless pursuit of productivity. Zangyo, or overtime, is deeply ingrained in the fabric of Japan's work culture. Employees are often expected to work long hours, often extending beyond their official working hours. This relentless pursuit of productivity comes at a heavy price, leading to burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. The pressure to conform in Japanese society extends to the workplace,
