Here's some software I've written for old Symbian phones...
A free Yahtzee game: supports Series 60 (1st and 2nd editions only) and UIQ.
Here are some of the applications I use on an everyday basis... Mostly Microsoft Windows applications unfortunately, since my current job (as a Software Engineer working on applications for Symbian OS) requires it.
Out of all the apps I use regularly, I've chosen to list these ones here to do my bit in helping them boost their popularity. (Especially Firefox, which deserves much much more, so much more than the ~20% of the browser market share it supposedly has. In what other sphere does a completely free product, with an utterly dominant set of features, go for so long being so under used?!)
Firefox: A brilliant, highly customisable web browser. If you are currently using Microsoft's Internet Explorer (the browser that came with your computer), I implore you, use this instead! Install Firefox now, then use it to come back here and – only then – view the rest of the list.
Real Alternative: This allows you to play RealMedia files without having to install the full RealPlayer, great for accessing BBC content. The official RealPlayer bugged me every time I installed it, by installing lots of extra rubbish I didn't want, so much so that I can never trust them again; it's a shame they chose to act that way when their technology became so widely adopted.
VLC media player: This plays virtually any video or audio file you can ask it to (apart from RealVideo, see above for the solution to that).
TrueCrypt: Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows and Linux.
WordWeb: A personal choice; this is my favourite dictionary program. (It's not strictly free, it actually has the strangest software licence terms I have ever seen...)
WinDirStat: "Shows where all your disk space has gone and helps you clean it up." This is the only way to visualise disk usage, in my opinion (forget pie charts). Try it, you'll see.
CutePDF Writer: A free tool to create Adobe PDF files. It installs a “Cute PDF” printer driver, then you print from any application you want to and it asks you where to save your PDF file to. Neat!
This stuff isn't free, but it's so good I've paid for it.
Beyond Compare: A powerful utility for comparing files and folders. Many programmers use this for comparing source code revisions, but it can be used for so, so much more! There is a free 30 day trial version.
