I don't know if they're still with Nokia, but if they are would a forum mod please pass along some praise for whomever is responsible for the portrait-mode keyboard in Symbian Anna.

In my 10 years of owning Nokia Smartphones I saw something yesterday I've never seen before: a TV commercial for a Nokia smartphone. Not only a commercial, but a well-done commercial, aired in a...

If you're looking to develop Qt mobile apps, as part of your decision process you may want to read the Qt developer boards and Ovi publisher board concerning the current state of deploying Qt apps...

I don't think anyone is upset, or that any of us would call you a troll or fanboy. I think we just have different perspectives on mobile development.

Is this a tell? O.o? In the USA, I think regulatory agencies (FTC) are only involved if equity is involved. I.e. if Microsoft is getting part of Nokia (or vice versa) in the deal, or there is a...

A different way of doing things would be fine if it also supported the industry standards. If I can create 3D transitions and smooth scrolling using OpenGL and C++, and the same OpenGL and C++ code...

Legacy use is a small subset of code reuse. It's more about standards and cost for new software.

Let's say I create a brand-new networked game using POSIX, OpenGL-ES, zlib, and libc and glue them...

@John.Tan - thanks for the post. So it's a selection process based on app downloads.

I wonder if one need to create banners first to be considered for the promotion, or will the Spotlighting...

Doesn't look like it. Today I get the same single "Midnight Pool 2" banner over and over when set to N95 (which IMO is better than 2... looks more like a...

Thanks Ron.




You could be right. I just find it hard to believe that even with completely arbitrary criteria a marketing and promo team would only chose 2 banners for all V3 content on OVI....

From Wikipedia, it looks like Reliance has about 22% of Indian mobile subscribers (128M) of which about 23% (30M) are GSM.

Can anyone comment as to where Reliance fits in the Indian mobile...

I'm sure that's the case too. It would be nice to know the criteria for how they are chosen so I know if it's worth spending time to make the banners or what to include to increase the chance they...

lol :D :D :D ( Until I googled it, I thought you were making a joke about the recent announcement.)

Cool blog. Thanks for the info/links.

"Made in Finland" is actually a brand of Nokia clones, like "Nokla" and "Nckia". :p ( I assume they chose it as a creative solution to get around source country labeling laws. )

Do the "Made in Finland" and "Nokla" phones run an OSS version of Symbian?

Also, I was wrong about different ads based on device. It does look like selecting a V3, V5, or ^3 device does change the rotation. If I set the device to N95 I get the...

Hi OviStewey-

A specific compression method's efficiency can vary based on the type of data. What type of data is it, and does the compression need to be lossless?

How do Spotlight and Promotion banners work? Are they all always in rotation and come up based on the customer's searches or browsed categories or :confused: I see the same ones over and over...
