Review: Blackboard for Nokia 5800
Blackboard for Nokia 5800 is a simple drawing application simulating a blackboard. The application can be downloaded for free from the Ovi store.
Features:
This is a very simple app. There are four touch control buttons: info, chalk, sponge and exit. Chalk is used for drawing and sponge for erasing. Sponge leaves wet trails simulating reality.
Actual drawing is done overlaying partially transparent PNG image on top of the background graphic. The erase functionality works just like erasing a blackboard in real life and does not clean neatly and leaves behind a mark. The information key is just rather a small box with the current version and company name.
Conclusion:
Blackboard for Nokia 5800 was developed by a Finish based Offscreen Technologies. The company has developed an end to end, integrated development environment for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th edition GUI application developments called Origo IDE. This unique empowers developers to quickly write codes in UI based environment compared to those created with C++.
Using such technology, Offscreen has been able to develop several high quality touch applications for S60 devices. Blackboard for Nokia 5800 is a simple app that many could find it handy for quick note taking and fun drawing projects.
