| Are you reading My Daily App? | Sep 17th, 2009 |
Are you reading My Daily App? This site sponsored by Forum Nokia has been reviewing applications available from Ovi Store and blogging about them at MyDailyApp.com. As a person selling applications, it is good that this independent group is reviewing and bringing to notice these applications. These applications are something you may never have heard about but are cool to have. .
I invite you to take a look; the reviews are cool and unbiased. As a developer you should know they are not limited to big developer houses but highlight the small independent distributor. If the Widget or app is cool and in the Ovi store, they will promote it.
