			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regular followers of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/stevelitchfield" target="_blank">me</a> on Twitter will know how much I despise image-filtering monstrosities like Instagram. Having spent the last decade trying to take better photos on my smartphone, the thought of <em>deliberately</em> mangling them seems to be anathema, to me at least. However, these sort of apps seem to be popular, so in the public interest I briefly tried out <a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/244907?clickSource=search&amp;pos=1" target="_blank">CamEfx, available for free</a> in the Nokia Store.</p>
<p>Right off the bat, there are filters for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Thermal</li>
<li>Mirror (think reflection in a lake)</li>
<li>Night vision (i.e. black and green)</li>
<li>X-ray (think negative)</li>
<li>Pink</li>
<li>Black and white (actually monochrome)</li>
<li>Sketch (think line drawing)</li>
<li>Blue</li>
<li>Lomo (a vintage look from the days of the earliest cameras)</li>
<li>Brown</li>
</ul>
<p>Each is shown in real time on-screen (i.e. at nHD resolution) and taking a shot is done with the on-screen button &#8211; there&#8217;s no support for the camera phone shutter key:</p>
<p><img class="photoborder" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/camefx21.jpg" alt="Screenshot" width="800" /></p>
<p>By default, the output resolution of this (fun) app is 3 megapixels, but you can up this in the Settings (see screenshot later) to something higher at the risk of a longer processing time when you want to save what you&#8217;ve snapped. CamEfx&#8217;s warning (below) is for full 12mp images &#8211; it&#8217;s only a handful of seconds for 3mp ones, don&#8217;t worry.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/camefx31.jpg" alt="Screenshot" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<p>Once saved, you can share directly from CamEfx, though you do of course have to go through each service&#8217;s web site to authorise the app the first time you do this. One oddity is that CamEfx didn&#8217;t use my standard &#8216;Internet&#8217; settings and wanted me to make a specific access point selection before it would go online.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/camefx41.jpg" alt="Screenshot" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<p>Also available in Settings is the strangely named &#8216;Focal length with volume buttons&#8217; &#8211; what the developer means is &#8216;Zoom with volume buttons&#8217; &#8211; it&#8217;s nothing to do with focal length as far as I can see (CamEfx does focus before taking each shot, by the way). Probably an English translation thing and not surprising from someone who mispelt &#8216;Gallery&#8217; in the screenshot above&#8230;.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/camefx51.jpg" alt="Screenshot" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you can have lots of fun with CamEfx once you&#8217;ve worked out how it works and have set it up, etc. But, as with Instagram and all others of its ilk, it&#8217;s not for me&#8230;.!</p>
<p><a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/244907?clickSource=AAS" target="_blank">CamEfx is free in the Store here</a> (presumably with ads) &#8211; I was <a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/244835?clickSource=search&amp;pos=2" target="_blank">trying the commercial version, here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last Nokia Store client that <a href="http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/store-qml-client" target="_blank">appeared in Beta Labs almost two months ago</a>, v3.24.053, has made it through testing without further changes (unusually!) and is now being rolled out officially as an auto-prompted update when anyone goes into the Nokia Store on their Symbian (^3/Anna/Belle) device. The main changes for this version, you may remember, were fixes for download queue and purchase bugs.</p>
<p>The previous &#8216;release&#8217; version pushed to devices was v3.22.54, which is what you&#8217;ll probably see if you haven&#8217;t been experimenting with the <a href="http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/store-qml-client" target="_blank">Store betas through Nokia Beta Labs</a>. To see if the update is available in your region yet, just go into the Nokia Store client and, if available, you&#8217;ll see these screens (courtesy <a href="http://www.symbiantweet.com/nokia-store-client-for-symbian-updated-to-v3-24-053" target="_blank">SymbianTweet</a>):</p>

<p>Or, of course, because this is the same version as from Beta Labs, just <a href="http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/store-qml-client" target="_blank">grab the &#8216;QML Store&#8217; from there instead</a>, if you&#8217;re impatient!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yep, everyone&#8217;s favourite fast-sandwich vendor is <a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/247400?clickSource=AAS" target="_blank">now available on Symbian</a>. At least, it is if you live in the Greater London area &#8211; no doubt the system will get extended in due course. Screenshot proof below, but SUBWAY EXPRESS does seem well built (in Qt) and available for free now &#8211; you can place extravagantly detailed orders for a pick up time of you choice from any of hundreds of included restaurants.</p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub11.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub21.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub31.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" /></p>
<p><em>Home screen, offering the facility to replace your existing SUBCARD, etc.; finding my nearest SUBWAY &#8211; note that I&#8217;m a long way out of London &#8211; oops!; starting to place an order</em></p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub41.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub51.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub61.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" /></p>
<p><em>Refining the order, options for bread type, extras, salads and much, much more &#8211; you&#8217;ve <strong>been</strong> to a SUBWAY, right?</em></p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub71.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub81.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" />&nbsp;<img style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://www.app4mobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/sub91.jpg" alt="Screenshot, SUBWAY Express" width="240" height="427" /></p>
<p><em>Adding a drink and some cookies; checking out; nice to have some comprehensive FAQs and other documentation all within the application</em></p>
<p>Rather curiously, there&#8217;s no way to exit the application. It probably doesn&#8217;t matter, since Symbian OS now works so well with Qt &#8211; I doubt the application uses up significant resources when idling in the background. But an &#8216;exit&#8217; button would still have been nice, developers please note.</p>
<p>In the meantime, <a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/247400?clickSource=AAS" target="_blank">go grab SUBWAY Express from the Nokia Store</a>.</p>
