What is it?

Musician: A musician’s tool. I wanted a tuner for my guitar and violin, plus a metronome to start songs off at the right tempo, and the current S60 programs just didn’t work. Hence Musician. It was also created as my very first Python program (see the notes below).

There are polyphonic tuning tones for E, B, G, D and A, enough to tune both guitar and violin. The tones last for a configurable length of time. The metronome will display beats at any tempo from 50 to 220 beats per minute, with an optional ‘metronome’ sound sample. And a playable mini-piano will let you play out simple melodies.

Musician :Download it now for Symbian OS/S60 3rd Edition
(e.g. Nokia E61, N73, N93, N95…)

Download the latest v3.2 here as musician32.zip (39K). Please read the notes in the Readme.txt file about first needing to install the latest version of the Python interpreter on your smartphone. See below!

This version of Musician works with QVGA (320 by 240) or 352×416 pixel displays. This covers the vast majority of S60 3rd Edition devices, but NOT the N91 or E90. Yet.

Yatra is the single most compelling Indian mobile App for getting GPRS activated on your mobile phone. The download page is kind of slow (as compared to Google Mail app download) but it worked and I have a Nokia E61 compatible version.
The application Icon needs working upon, but launches smoothly and gives you an option of booking Flights, Buses, Cars or Hotels. The only problem I found was the City list does not scroll with the Joystick held down. You have to pull the joystick down everytime, one city at a time until you reach your city. There should have been a text entry box. Also the date change box did noty react very smoothly to the keypad, but we must remember this is only the BETA. All in all an excellent and very well made app. Wish more companies had one such app. To download it, SMS YATRA to 2622 and you will receive a link, click on the link to install application! Simple. A list of compatible phones is here.We were quite pleasantly surprised with the interface. It offers everything, including 128 bit encryption and credit card payment support!Thanks to Shaun Pereira for pointing this out.
