Cui – On My Way

As reported(Chinese),  people can watch the coming 2010 CCTV Spring Festival Gala on their iPhone by CNTV‘s CCTV Mobile iPhone application, which I’ve talked before.  Screen shot above is captured at the time of writing.

Though the report did mentioned that Apple has agreed to give this application a big recommendation on its homepage(no clue on exactly which one, apple.com? apple.com.cn? AppStore or somewhere else?), at least until now I haven’t seen it on neither of them.

Anyway, if you are not be able to watch this traditional party show via TV or PC, perhaps you can give this application[iTunes Store] a try, though personally I’ve been spending less and less time on the gala year by year.

>>Reading News

1. NYTimes – I use it to learn the latest technology news.

2.Time Mobile

3.CCTV Mobile

>>Playing with photos

1.PS Mobile

Photoshop on iPhone, and free. What are you waiting for?!

2.Koredoke

just for fun. Somehow I take it as a way of reminding me of what I was doing that day when the picture was taken. Guess the app author never imagined this kinda use of his/her software

3.Mover

I use it to transfer photos between my wife’s iphone and mine. User-friendly interface, pretty cool. Both my wife and I enjoy it so much. It would be perfect if the photo transfer speed goes faster.

>>Library

1.Wikipedia

Still need network connection to access. But the speed is fine. Since it’s an official version, suggest to install.

2.Ziyouquanshu (自由全書)

Full Wikipedia Chinese database. So no need to go online. A must-have for sure.

>>Other Tools

1.Chinese Calendar(萬年曆) – A must-have, if you care about what a day is in the Chinese lunar calendar.

Inspired by wikipedia’s List of digital distribution platforms for mobile devices, I’ve just created a similar but compact list for the Chinese native App Stores here. It’s far from complete and detailed, but it could give you an idea of how the success of Apple’s AppStore business has influenced the Chinese mobile market.

I’ll keep it updated when related information is available later. BTW, all links in the table are directed to Chinese page, so be awared.
