The fact is that the application quality matters. High-quality applications lead to delighted consumers and additional sales. On the other hand, poor-quality applications may disappoint consumers so much that they’ll never chance another download. Developers should build quality into the application during each phase of the development process, just as they now do with usability. Similarly, developers need to view quality as a continuous process, not merely the last step.
However, practice has shown that the magic of quality is not as elusive as it seems. It can be achieved via a sequence of planned and efficient steps – from concept creation to final testing, marketing, and user feedback.
To help developers create quality applications, Forum Nokia has launched a new mini-site, called “Breakthrough with Quality,” that provides a “magic recipe” for high-quality development and links to related quality guides.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
