The Nokia N8 isn't just great for taking stunning 12-megapixel photography and high definition video footage. There's plenty more you can do with it. And plenty more apps. Here we take a look at ten of the best free entertainment apps you can use on the N8. From watching films and TV on your N8 to apps letting you find the latest music gigs, you'll find it here.
We've ransacked the entertainment section of the Nokia Ovi Store to gather ten of the best entertainment apps for the N8. Check out the list below for apps to discover new music, browse from thousands of films to watch and even let you indulge in a post of karaoke on your N8.
Ever heard a song and wanted to know who sung it? Shazam lets you do just that. Simply fire it up and wait a few seconds while it searches a database of artists and bands to let you know the name of the artist or band behind that song you've just heard. It's a great way to find new music and an absolute must-have for your N8.
Fancy indulging in impromptu karaoke action on your N8? TuneWiki is a social media player that displays subtitled lyrics to music videos and over 2.5 million songs through its SHOUTcast radio feature.
FingerPrint Scanner is a little cheeky. Using this app does let you block access to the phone while the FingerPrint screen is displayed, but it doesn't unlock your phone depending on whose finger it is. When a finger is placed during the 'scan' you'll hear beeps. The phone will only unlike after a certain number of beeps; no matter whose finger is laid on it. It's a neat way to trick your friends into believing you can unlock your N8 using just your prints.
Nokia Internet Radio is a great N8 app that lets you listen to the radio from all over the world. There are plenty of radio stations on offer; whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it, download Nokia Internet Radio and give it a go.
The popular video-sharing website in app form. Dailymotion gives N8 users access to thousands of videos available by search. Whatever topic interests you; you're sure to find a video to accompany it.
Looking for the latest must-go gigs to visit? Gig Finder lets you choose a town or venue and even recommend existing gigs that might tickle your fancy based on your choices.
Music Explorer lets you search and preview the music in Ovi Music Store and keep track of the top tracks in your favorite genre. It now offers you access to exclusive offers and features on your touch enabled Nokia device.
Become a mobile couch potato (if such a thing exists) by downloading this app that gives you access to much more than a TV guides worth of subscription-free television channels.
Everyone loves a good flick, right? Well if you LOVEFilms (see what we did there) then you’d do well to check out the LOVEFiLM app. LOVEFilm UK lets you manage your movie rental lists and catch up on the latest movie news direct from Hollywood, not to mention browse over 67,000 different titles.
If you need a break from it all check out the latest video guides from Travel Channel TV on your N8 and peep all the latest shows on cities from all over the world.
