Design, develop, distribute key theme at the Nokia Developer Summit 2010

London – 14 September 2010. Nokia today unveiled a number of major improvements in developer tools making it simpler and more lucrative for people to build apps that can reach the world’s largest audience of mobile users.

Highlights include:

·         Significant enhancements to the Nokia Qt Software Development Kit (SDK) resulting in a 70 per cent reduction in the amount of code required when developing for all Symbian smartphones

·         New look Ovi Store to improve user experience, making it faster and easier to find apps

·         Lower barrier of entry and increased monetisation opportunities for developers, including free Java and Symbian signing, in-app purchase, improved revenue share and advanced developer analytics

Forum Nokia’s vice president, Purnima Kochikar, said: “We have made it much simpler, removed obstacles and made it more lucrative for people to build apps for Nokia handsets. We believe that this will convince more developers to build great apps for the millions of people, in more than 190 countries, that are using the Ovi Store on their Nokia handsets.”

Design, Develop

Today, developers can distribute apps to approximately 175 million Nokia Symbian smartphones - the largest smartphone user base in the world. Qt is pre-installed on all new Nokia smartphones and available to millions of existing smartphones. Using the Nokia Qt SDK to build their apps, developers will discover an easy-to-use tool that simplifies development, offers intuitive UI libraries resulting in 70 per cent less code and cuts creation time dramatically.

New opportunities for developers include in-app purchase, enabling a wide range of app pricing options in Ovi Store such as subscription models, micro-transactions,  or ”try and buy.” This means if people enjoy the free version of the app, they can easily upgrade to the paid version. It also allows developers to build added value into their apps such as the sale of virtual goods, additional levels for games, or enhanced or localised in-app features. 

With the Nokia Qt SDK, developers can easily adapt their apps enabling them to run on future mobile platforms such as MeeGo, while taking advantage of any additional features or APIs those platforms bring.
