The App store twitter account tweeted the following link to Cut the Rope: Experiments with a ‘#FreeAppoftheWeek’ hastag which together with the huge ‘App of the Week’ banner on the iTunes homepage might indicate this is a weekly regular offering. Hopefully it turns out to be just that, but in the meanwhile, head on over to the link below and grab Cut the Rope Experiments for free this week!

Still havent had enough time to put together an honest review, but here’s an unboxing in the meanwhile.

Tagging has also been improved, and you can now tag friends and locations using Facebook’s new “with” and “at” format that’s been available on iOS and Android Facebook apps for a while now. There’s tap-and-hold to delete, on status updates or wall interactions, and tap-and-hold to “like” comments. I’m generally not a fan of the long-press gesture but eh, it’s what you have here.

Threaded messaging: Full Facebook threaded messaging, including group messaging.
Better tagging: Now you can tag friends and locations in your posts in the “with” and “at” format.
Wall cleanup: Use tap and hold to delete posts and comments from your Wall.
Hot links: Links in posts are now tappable.
More to “Like”: You can now Like comments,

The Facebook for Windows Phone app actually now works faster than the iOS and Android apps (imho) so this is definitely a welcomed update. Available free, over on the Windows Phone Marketplace I wonder if we’ll see the Facebook Messenger and new Facebook Camera apps pop up on Windows Phone though.

Facebook bought Instagram knowing that they’re missing out on the photo-upload game, but curiously they released a new “Facebook Camera” app for iOS today, that’s meant to let you quickly share your photos on the social network, and view friends images as well.

The entire experience is streamlined, with the focus on sharing and getting photos, instead of having to wait for the full Facebook app to launch and load up before you share. The layout is simple and easy, and there’s even Instagram-like filters built right in. What’s even more curious though, is that the development of this app was started even before the Instagram acquisition was made. Facebook considers photos a vital part of their overall mobile strategy, so I assume this app will come over to Android as well (different from the previous Android Facebook Camera App).

Available free, over on iTunes. It appears to be still rolling out, because I dont see it in the Indian App Store yet. I wonder what other apps Facebook have up their sleeve. Facebook Videos? Facebook Check-ins?

The new redesign is simplier and works even faster, which was in the direction of the “simpler, more beautiful Google” that Senior VP for Social Business Vic Gundotra hoped it represented. There’s a more evident focus on photos, and Profile pages and Messenger have both been streamlined with the new premium look of the app. Browsing content is smooth and the app loads content very quickly too. The new Google+ Android app also lets you start a video-chat ‘hangout’ right from your smartphone, or download Google+ photos from the app and use them as your wallpaper. As always, you can also use Google+ as a way to auto-upload all of your phone’s pictures.

Darn I wish the guys who made the Facebook App for iOS and Android would take a look at this. Really well done on Google’s part. Maybe it’ll see some folks start using their social network after all, eh?

Thanks to Nokia’s Where Platform, Bing Maps can now offer the same traffic information that is already available at Nokia Maps in 24 countries (Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UAE, UK and US).

People in nearly all these countries will also be able to find out about incidents that might disrupt their journeys. Also, the traffic information in the US that was already available on Bing Maps now includes side streets.

Although traffic information is the most visible feature that Nokia Maps is offering to Bing Maps at this stage, there are also other improvements.

Most notably, Bing Maps is now using Nokia Maps geocoding in several countries to offer better routes and directions for people around the globe.

Nokia just started Traffic information in Maps here in India last month, and it is definitely something that’s very useful. Nokia’s blog post said that they will “become the engine powering Bing Maps on Windows Phone devices and applications” too, which means all Windows Phones should see the fruits of Nokia’s awesome Map services as well.

My source now tells me that the update will be called “Belle Refresh” and will be made available for the Nokia N8, E7 & C7 for sure. There is no word on whether this update will come to the E6 as well. He got hold of pre-release builds of Belle Refresh as well and has shared some screenshots to show what the update will brings.

The build no is v111.040 and the release name is Nokia Belle Refresh. Notice that the Browser version is newer than that on Belle FP1, which has 8.2. Also, the Java version in this update is older than the one in FP1 which had Java 2.4

As you can see, this update is brining even more clock widgets for you to choose from along with the widgets introduced in the FP1 update.

The new Text clock widget along with the other widgets in action.

The music player has a new look & sorting according to what looks like Artists, Albums & Songs finally!

This screenshot of the Notification Bar disappointed me. This does not have the Activities & Notifications grouping of the Notifications like in FP1 as well as the Clear button to remove the notifications from the bar.

At first I thought that Nokia Belle Refresh isn’t a good name for the update. But after having given it some time to pass, I have started seeing sense in the “Refresh” word in the name. Will share whatever new information I receive on this update.
