The Nokia N9 might probably be the only MeeGo Harmattan fueled smartphone from the company as a brave attempt to rival what is turning out to be a two horse race among iPhones and Androids. With Nokia going overboard on the design and hardware department of the N9 that even Apple and Android OEMs will be taking note of, it all boils down to the availability of quality apps which the two horses are absolutely no short of.
But that seems to be improving now for the N9 as it already has some of the popular apps built in like Facebook, Twitter and a few games like Angry Birds and Need For Speed. And now, developers have started taking notice of this newcomer and are releasing a good number of quality apps. We have a compiled a list of must have apps for you down below:
- DropN9: Dropbox app hasn’t yet made its way officially to the N9 but instead you can use this client to manage your Dropbox cloud storage.
- Internet Radio: You might be having the best of audio streaming service but that’s all put to waste without an equally good UI. Internet Radio, fortunately, has a great UI as it is similar to the default music player.
- Phone Torch:a simple utility app to turn on the camera flash and use it as a torch.
- Internet Radio: An neat little Internet Radio app for the N9, that features a UI is similar to the default music player with album art being replaced by cover art for the featured radio stations. Discovery is helped along by ‘Hot Picks’, Locations, Language and Genre sections. Detailed post here.
