Windows 10: 'Best' 90 free apps - reviewed for Gizmo

Best Free Windows Apps | Gizmo's Freeware

Best? It's a personal opinion and different for each person of course, but here's a starter for (Win) 10.

There are a few interesting ones presented in 8 categories including educational resources such as Howstuffworks, Stanford University; games and media players, graphics tools, utilities and even file managers

Google (voice activated) caught my eye- it launches its own browser, and was accurate just with my laptop's mike- so fine for what it is.
(Aside: I wanted to launch it with 'Hey Cortana ..... start Google' but there were too many Google possibilities and the new app wasn't listed. Here the inability to rename things in the Win 10 start menu is frustrating - even if I did rename it - e.g. Google Search- that would probably be a problem after the next app update e.g.).

Then I tried Shazam. It recognised the Festival Overtureplayed on my rather distorting laptop speakers, so credit where credit's due- but whose Festival Overture? Actually it was Bax's; Shazam only presented the title and orchestra, and below, confusingly, some ads for Beethoven's Academic Festival Overture.So nul points for that one.

Calling without a SIM !

Calling without a SIM is not a big news. Internet Call option is available by default with E-Series phones and some N-Series phones. You need not have fring installed in your mobile. You can simply use your WLAN access point to access your SIP provider,
say Gizmo, TruPhone,ActionVoip, FreeCall etc. Gizmo allows you free gizmo calls, truphone allows free truphone calls plus free Gtalk calls.. FreeCall, SmartVoip etc allows really free days to some destinations if you pay something , say 5Euros...



Fring is also an option. Other similar options are Nimbuzz , Tallkanaut etc.



But the best option for e71 is to use the native SIP stack and Internet Call applet integrated to the contacts.

n85 recommended apps?

I would suggest Instant messengers like Gizmo (free internet calls). Gizmo can be found on the download application on your phone. Other messeging apps that i find handy are Fring and Nimbuzz. Also try podcasting, Mobipocket reader, Internet radio, Ngage

 

Tnx, always on a lookout for freeware, specialty programs preferred instead of ah so prevalent "Do it all, accomplishing little" programs/APPs.
