N-Desk: Making you love your Nokia more!

Mobile developer Anderson has been studying Symbian programming since 2005, when touch screen phones were few and far between. But when the popularity of touch screen phones began to spread, so too did consumers’ demand for apps. So in 2010, Anderson decided to apply his programming skills to mobile app development, and developed N-Desk.

 

N-Desk is a desktop app which provides a sliding menu and variable key lock options. The app runs on Nokia’s S60 touch screen phones and provides users with an easy way to manage applications in a fun and creative way. The N-Desk application enables users to slide the screen and change the icons’ positions seamlessly and customize the image color, background picture, menu icons’ layout and text color. Anderson’s one-man company is gaining popularity through Nokia Store, with over 2 million downloads of N-Desk to date.

N-Desk Development and Results

Leveraging the Symbian API, Anderson combined a keylocker API to create the lock/unlock screen functions in addition to sensors that enable users to lock and unlock their screens without using the physical keys. The first version took Bai only a few weeks to create, and even less time to update and create new versions, as Nokia’s free signing program made it easy to distribute. Anderson offers both a free and paid version, with the paid version having no ads and multiple skins available to users online. After developing several apps, Anderson decided to reach users around the globe, and turned to the Nokia Store to do so. With help from various developers from Germany and Italy, Bai En created localized versions of his applications to broaden the appeal and gain exposure of N-Desk.

 

Unlike other channels, the Nokia Store really allows developers to localize apps beyond translation, making them both relevant and more appealing to a broader audience. The Nokia Store, available in more than 190 countries, and in 32 languages, makes it easier for developers to receive feedback and advice from other developers, and review the latest feedback from users all over the world. After receiving an overwhelming amount of downloads through the Nokia Store, Bai was able to tweak and perfect his application based on user feedback from around the globe.

 

“I enjoy it when I receive good feedback from users, and I use their criticisms to help improve my application,” said Bai En. “Leveraging the Nokia Store’s global reach and popular platform has given N-Desk the exposure it needs to be successful.’ Now available in more than 190 markets worldwide, N-Desk continues to garner downloads every day, and is available in both a free and paid version.
