Five really useful applications for Windows eight.
1. TuneIn Radio
Internet radio has always been a great way to keep yourself entertained, and TuneIn Radio shows off the technology with real style.
The app's huge database (more than 70,000 stations) means you're sure to find something you like, for instance. You can browse by music, sport, news, comedy, chat, language, country, or even just find a local station (assuming you've enabled the app to access to your location).
The program can also maintain a list of your favourite stations, for easy access later. Or you can even pin some to your Start Screen, so you can begin listening at any time with a click.
2. Multimedia 8
If you're missing Windows Media Centre, then fear not, the Store does have some interesting alternatives - and Multimedia 8 is one of the best.
The program makes it easy to browse your music, video and playlists, for instance. In a click (or a touch) you can access files on a media server, or the web.
And a host of bonus features includes 3D video support; the ability to convert videos to MP4 or WMV; playlist creation, DLNA media streaming, subtitle support (SRT/ WebVTT), video stabilisation, video and audio capture, and more.
3. News Bento
Whatever your view on the introduction of the Windows 8 Modern interface is, there's no doubt that its apps can look fantastic, and News Bento is a perfect example.
Launch the app and a group of tiles show you constantly-updating news photos and headlines from top US sites. A host of others are available via the "more news" link, and Google Reader support combined with RSS search provides easy access to your other online favourites.
Choose a source and story summaries are neatly displayed in various panels. And most conveniently, clicking any of these (for the sources bundled with the program, anyway) displays its content within the app, so there's no irritating switching to and from an external browser.
4. Free Translate 2
Language translator app is a great tool which is based on Bing and Google translator to translate text from one language to other. It means, you can select between the two translators type and the app will translate the text accordingly. You just need to type the text and leave the rest on the app. It will translate the text into the destination language selected. Just keep your Windows 8 PC connected to the internet, and the app will work like anything.
Free Translate developers have added up some very smart features:
1. lets the app speaks the translated text aloud.
2. tracks the changes which is made on clipboard. For e.g., if you copy any text from anywhere; browser or from any file or folder, the changes made in the clipboard will be automatically updated in the translator app.
3. automatic translation. Just enter the text and the app will translate it as soon as your enter the text without clicking on translate button. So cool!
5. Free Books
There's more to ebooks than Amazon and Kindle: no, really. And by way of evidence, look no further than Free Books. This attractive app offers more than 23,000 free books (mostly old classics), neatly organised by category and author, with an interesting selection of "Featured" books if you just want to browse.
Double-click any book to download it to your library. Double-click again to read it; tap right or left to turn the appropriate page; and of course the app remembers your current page, so if you leave it and come back later then you'll be able to carry on where you left off.
Some people may feel the app is a little too basic, and it would certainly benefit from settings to adjust text size, colours and so on. The simplicity does mean Free Books is very simple to use, though, and on balance it'll be a great addition to most systems.
