Where is some information??

Where do I find information about Ovi???

If I go to http://publish.ovi.com, all I find is the Ts'n'Cs, and a link to the forum

Here on the forum, all I find is lots of bewildered people asking questions.

Nokia are keen to get us to sign up, but I can't make a business case for it if I don't know what's involved.

Cheers,
Graham.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've watched this many times.

It says that Java content needs to pass Java Verified testing. In what way is this true?

Where is the list of supported devices?

This video is only an overview. The devil is always in the detail, and I'm struggling to find the details.

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Graham,

Yes you're asking the right questions and we're in the process of quickly providing information to you and others about publishing to Ovi and Ovi Store. Very soon we'll be providing information on Forum Nokia.com such as the Ovi publish guide, supported devices for launch, billing models, content guidelines and other relevant data points for developers and business people to access and to be able to make informed decissions. In the interim I've posted the content guidelines for Ovi Store on my blog so this info can start to circulate in the community: http://www.mobileperry.com/2009/05/c...ovi-store.html.

Hi Bill,

Yes, I know they're the right questions. It's pretty shocking that you don't have the right answers. You do know you're supposed to go live in a couple of weeks?

That you're still trying to make policy decisions this late in the day does not fill me with confidence in the Ovi management.

I really can't incorporate Ovi into a business strategy while Nokia still have yet to decide what they want it to be. Do you want to please people who want to buy software? Do you want to please people who want free software? Do you want to please professional developers? Do you want to please hobby-developers? You're not going to please them all and, if you'd like my advice, I'd recommend you focus on the people who are willing to part with money.

Cheers,
Graham.
