Demo on Nokia N8: Tippy, Tip calculator application

Trying to figure out how much tip to give when dining out shouldn't be hard. I just purchased Tippy for my Nokia N8 from the Ovi Store to do that job. It's only 99 cents. Take a look at the video demo so you can check if it's worth downloading (I'd say it is worth it).

Tippy is pretty straightforward. Enter your bill total, the number of people splitting the bill, and your location. After entering the necessary numbers, it displays the tip per person and the new total.

When you change location, the app lets you know of its tipping customs. For example, Finland already includes service charge, so tip is unnecessary. Tipping is also not needed in Switzerland, but you are recommended to round up. Tipping in England defaults to 10% (instead of 15% in the USA)

Hi Mark are you using PR1.1 on your N8?

It looks faster & smoother than mine in every videos you upload.

@chisinchai yes i'm using PR1.1. Have you updated yet?

[chisinchai]

@thenokiablog NO. I'm from Hong Kong but there still no update although in the Nokia Support Discussions forum they claim it's "In Creation".

The lazy people from Nokia never do their job and keep failing on promises...

@chisinchai sorry to hear that. I hate waiting too. Maybe you'll get lucky and get 2.0 before everyone else.
