You – you are a busy bee. You are a woman of multi-tasking, to-do lists and complex priorities. You have no time for frivolous childish games, especially on your smartphone. You are certainly not a gamer because, last you checked, you were not a spotty bedroom-dwelling teenage boy. Obviously, BrickBreaker doesn’t count as a real game – does it?

Say hello to a new generation of casual games for your smartphone. These games, which you can dip in an out of and play at your leisure, promise to change the way you view gaming from now on. Due to popular demand, the Lady Geeks brings you Angry Birds, with new levels and on new devices, including the Nokia N8. Words with Friends is the popular social word game with its roots in Scrabble but its eye firmly on playing with friends. Both games will have you leaving your to-do list languishing – for 3 minutes, anyway.

The Lady Geek App of the Week this week is the X-Factor App, exclusively for Nokia, which brings you the latest and best content from the shows and extras, including videos, photos and news. You’ll never miss another gloriously terrible audition again!

Get in touch before 6 pm on Tuesday 21 September and you can win a gorgeous Nokia X6. All you need to do is share the show on Facebook. You can do this by visiting our page at www.facebook.com/ladygeektv , clicking ‘Like’ to follow us and then sharing the show on your Facebook page and using “@Lady Geek TV” to tag us in the status.

This week Lady Geek TV brings you music apps to tickle your musical taste buds.

You’re out and about, grabbing some coffee and minding your own business, when you hear the most beautiful song you have ever heard. Your new favourite song. Only problem? You have no idea who the band is, what the song is called, let alone where and how you can see this magical band live. What can you do?

Now, using only your smartphone, you can find out who this band is, the name of the song and where their next gig is long before the your latte arrives. With Shazam Encore (www.shazam.com), you can find out the name of the song and the artist faster than you can say, “I wonder if the singer is as hot as they sound?” With Gigfinder for Nokia (http://store.ovi.com/content/27590?clickSource=search), you can find the artist’s next gig at lightening speed and even purchase tickets using your phone. We can’t guarantee that you’ll have better taste in music, but at least you’ll know what you like.

Get in touch before 6 pm on Tuesday 14 September and you can win a gorgeous Nokia X6. All you need to do is share the show on Facebook.

This week Lady Geek TV checks out the fitness apps with a difference.

We know how it starts. The huff and puff up your street while your Olympianesque neighbour sprints past with a cheery wave and an all-too-hearty, “Hello there!” Or maybe your favourite top is just that tiny bit too tight. Trainers laced up, gym membership at the ready, you vow this time it will be different – you will be fit. 200 meters later and you’re ready to collapse. How will you ever get fit?

This week, the Lady Geeks bring you fitness apps that WILL make a difference. The Lady Geeks show you how you can train your way to a 5K with the ingeniously named Couch to 5k app is for iPhone. Measure your progress and brag about your accomplishments with Sports Tracker for Nokia and prove those fitness skills with a crunch-off match thanks to Crunch Fu. You’ll be outpacing your smug lycra-clad neighbour in no time at all.

Get in touch before 6 pm on Monday 30th August and you can win the ultra cool Nokia X3. All you need to do is ‘like’ our facebook page at www.facebook.com/ladygeektv or follow us on twitter at twitter.com/ladygeektv

Are you tired of the disapproving looks you get from others when your children are running riot?  Do you wish your children could be like ‘those’ children who sit quietly and do what they are told rather than furiously drawing on the walls?

This week on the Lady Geek TV App Show we have a special Mumsnet episode with the founder of Mumsnet.com Justine Roberts. Justine and Debs will be showing you smartphone apps that will keep your children from getting bored, as well as an app to video record those rare moments when your child is behaving perfectly.

First up this week is Fish School (brought to our attention by The App Whisperer). Fish School is an educational iPhone App which teaches your kids reading, maths and differences with the help of brightly coloured fish floating in formation, spelling out words, numbers, and shapes.

Next we have Qik, the mobile video camera, a real favourite from Nokia’s Ovi store. It transmits a videostream live to the web, fantastic for capturing and, more importantly, sharing those spontaneous moments as they happen and ensure you keep those unforgettable memories.

The Lady Geek App of the Week is Toddler Lock, which transforms your phone into a magical toy guaranteed to entrance both you and your toddler.

If you are a mum with children, please get in touch and tell us your favourite app before Mon 16th August and we will feature your app in our next mums special.  Just by ‘liking’ our facebook page Lady Geek TV you will be automatically entered into our competition to win this week’s smartphone Nokia 6700 slide.

Have an ‘appy’ week!
