Ovi? MOSH? Download? Software Market?

[astonw]

All of these names confuse me!

Will all of these channels now be consolidated into Ovi?
or will some co-exist as separate software-to-martet sevices?

[ltomuta]

Yes, there will be only one store, the Ovi Store. (N.B. Mosh was never a store but a community driven content sharing site)

Please tell me what should be the price of my game actually i m an student on engineering. I had developed game but i dont know abt marketing. So please help me.

Ovi Store is not used by anybody yet, as it isn't available at this point of time.

As a developer, use as many channels you can get access to for widest coverage, best results.

You have, most likely, a buyer's account at the Nokia Software Market site and not a publisher's account. See info about publishing on the software market at http://www.forum.nokia.com/I_Want_To...ftware_Market/

You should read the info about the Ovi Store and the publishing process, learn about who can publish and under which conditions and all the rest (i.e. the marketing skills) will come to you as you go.

I'm most interested to find ou about how to use regkeys if any.
I already have Dynamic RPN in my app but if Ovi don't have the server
I'll probably just have to issue regcodes manually.

I hope Ovi will have some kind of automated point-of-sale
system that can issue dynamic codes.

btw, does this mean developers should not bother opening an account with
Nokia Software Market? and just wait for Ovi to go live?

[ltomuta]

You can try to get into the Nokia Software Market but it is not going to be as easy as opening an web account. Ovi Store is a safer bet.

And when Ovi Store opens, I suspect that Nokia Software Market is probably not going to stay around, too. It would not be logical at all.

got the news in one of the site that Nokia shutting down MOSH and would concentrate only on OVI

If Mosh is down, and Ovi is only available for company...


Where should the individual Symbian developers go?

They should go home.

Individiuals can publish on Ovi Store. You can be an individual and a company if you're self-employed, companies only have to have a minimum of one person in them. I'm a company for example because I've registered as self-employed at the tax office, so I get given a company ID etc.

In most countries there's also nothing to stop an individual getting a VAT/tax ID from the tax office. I had one for a while until I was told I didn't need it in my particular line of work.

Alternatively, if you don't want to deal with sales tax etc, you can approach an existing Ovi Store publisher and offer your services to them, and they'll publish to Ovi Store on your behalf.
