Nokia signing Symbian apps for free
By removing the “public beta” for Symbian Signing, Nokia is demonstrating to Ovi Publishers its commitment to review the initial investment costs associated with getting a publisher ID and getting their apps signed. Ovi Publishers can have their Qt Symbian (with Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian), Symbian C++, Flash Lite apps, and Symbian Themes signed for free by Nokia after providing the necessary information and following some new steps during their application submission to publish to Ovi.
Mob4Hire available now
Forum Nokia's User Experience program has been expanded to include thousands of test users around the world available through Mob4Hire. The user feedback available from Mob4Hire consists of instantaneous responses from everyday mobile application users, and it is available to developers at a reasonable price.
Remote Device Access services
Forum Nokia offers two services for Remote Device Access (RDA) providing developers with working Nokia devices over the Internet. There is the free Remote Device Access; and there is also a paid service called the Forum Nokia Virtual Developer Lab, powered by DeviceAnywhere. Using RDA, developers can easily test and demo their apps prior to final release. In addition, DeviceAnywhere hosts weekly "tutorials" on the Ovi Daily App blog that demonstrate key features & functionality of leading apps in Ovi Store.
Congratulations to JimGilmour July’s Contributor of the month
This month jimgilmour1 has been selected by the Wiki Administrators for his excellent contributions and articles in July. Since JimGilmour is also a Wiki administrator he will not receive any reward for this achievement just the thanks from his peers.
Most months a Forum Nokia member that contributes high quality new articles or major edits is named the Contributor of the Month and is awarded a Nokia Multimedia device for his/her contribution to the developer’s community.
You too can be a Contributor of the Month by simply contributing useful articles, example codes, tutorials, or by significantly shaping up the already existing ones. If you have significant edits to the existing pages then please bring these to my attention. Articles are judged first and foremost by the quality, value and appearance of the article and code so even one very good article can win.

Mobile developers are required to adapt to different software developing techniques while switching from one development platform to another. Porting Guides bring together the essential references for porting mobile applications of various flavours to Symbian. From the architectural changes to the common programming errors, these guides address all difficulties that a developer would face while porting mobile applications to Symbian.
This week's featured porting guide, Porting Android (Java) applications to S60 5th Edition, is contributed by several experts in the Forum Nokia developer community.
This article provides information that guides developers to port Android applications to Symbian (with a focus on the S60 5th Edition platform). It gives an overview of the Android platform as well as the S60 one. It then proceeds to give examples of how to write the code in various languages supported by Symbian. The article also links to numerous useful resources.
Read the article and port your applications to S60 5th Edition devices.
Are you reading My Daily App?
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.
