Those folks at Vesuvius Software have been busy in the last few weeks, cranking out more useful little Java-powered freeware applications for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and S60 5th Edition. Brand new and screenshotted below, with hyperlinks, are Musician's Swiss Knife, Soft Touch Stopwatch, Karao60 and ScratchMMS.

Musician's Swiss knife contains a metronome, a note generator and a beat/BPM counter:

Soft Touch Stopwatch (right, above) has both digital and analog stopwatches, with memories and split times.

Karao60 is a .KAR (Karaoke) player, complete with the amusing (and apposite) instruction "Do not use if you're tuneless"!!

ScratchMMS is an MMS-enabled graphical sketchpad:

Each of these is characterised by a non-standard interface, and by start and ending adverts screens, but hey, they're free.
