Ramadan 2009 is Celebrated at Nokia
I read an article at arabcrunch blog indicating that Nokia just announced that its Ramadan applications for 2009 are now available. The updated free mobile applications tailored for the Holy Month of Ramadan can now be downloaded on the compatible Nokia devices directly from Nokia’s Ovi Store.
Ramadan 2009 Applications include the following:
* The Holy Quran: allows users to read, search, bookmark and listen to Quran recitation
* Prayer Times: provides prayer timings and Qibla direction for 1000 cities in 200 countries, along with the ability to add, remove, update and edit any location using the GPS.
* Hadeeth: gives an easy and convenient way to read the Honorable Hadeeth from Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Riyad us-Saliheen, Holy Hadeeths and Arba’in An Nawawi.
* Zakah Calculator: helps Muslims calculate Zakah on different kinds of income
* Hajj and Umrah: offers a mobile guide with multimedia content and the most famous places that people can visit during Hajj and Umrah.
* Mozzaker: allows mobile users to listen, search and translate a large collection of of daily Azkar and selected supplications. People can also download more Azkar and share via SMS and MMS with friends and family.
* Cards: helps users create their own Mobile Greeting Cards for different occasions and send them to family and friends via SMS or MMS.
Chris Braam, Vice President, Sales, Nokia Middle East and Africa said:
“Last year’s applications were very well received, as we saw over 2.4 million Ramadan applications downloaded. And based on the feedback we had received from Nokia consumers, we have further enhanced the offering this year to include additional applications as well as upgrades to some of the existing features. The applications this year also support a wider range of devices, to include both touch and non-touch Nokia devices,” said
