How to Download Bada Apps in the US

Posted on by

I’ve been having a lot of fun exploring the Samsung Wave Bada phone that I got at the Bada Devloper Day last week. I continue to be impressed with many aspects of the phone, especially the gorgeous Super AMOLED screen and great build quality. Except for the plastic end caps, the phone is all metal, including the battery cover. Plus it’s stable (no crashes yet), the UI is snappy and the battery lasts a couple of days on standby. There … Continue reading →

There’s a discussion of what … Continue reading →

Ovi Store Live!

Posted on by

This morning when I refreshed the Download application on my Nokia N95-3 (NAM) I was greeted by the new Ovi Store icon.  Clicking it launched the browser and took me to store.ovi.mobi. Initially the site was very slow and timed out a couple of times but now two hours later it seems fine with snappy page loads and quick searches. The desktop version of the store at store.ovi.com still seems to be suffering from first day overload  with frequent hangs … Continue reading →

Ovi App Store Details

Posted on by

I went to an Ovi App Store developers event at Nokia’s Silicon Valley office in Mountain View yesterday. It was time well spent with  informative presentations, good food and drink and the chance to meet and grill some of the Forum Nokia staff about just how the Ovi App Store will work. I didn’t get all my questions answered but I learned a lot and I have new respect for the Ovi Store initiative and Nokia’s commitment to supporting and … Continue reading →
