MyDailyApp.com

Nokia has a new blog/site called MyDailyApp.com, where the company’s employees are talking about a new app every business day (Monday through Friday). The idea is to scatter around the Ovi Store and present the best apps found. A dedicated Twitter account is also launched – @mydailyapp.

Now, here’s a problem. It’s nice to see Nokia going one step more than they need to, but honestly they shouldn’t be doing this. A site like MyDailyApp.com is something Nokia fans should do. Sure, there are quite a few websites out there presenting S60 apps, but that’s like nothing compared to the iPhone craze. Maybe we’ll see more people going all crazy for Maemo, hence Nokia will save its resources for something more useful. We’ll see…

Dusan Belic

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.

    Thanks for the post about MyDailyApp. Sorry you don’t seem to think we should be doing this site … Yes, we’re writing about apps in Ovi Store – and we will keep on doing so. But, we’re also trying to showcase the cool work of our mobile developer community – the folks who use forum.nokia.com everyday. Yes, we talk about the apps, but we also point out and talk about the developers behind those apps.

    For the record, we’re not suggesting fans should post reviews/blogs of their own about apps in Ovi Store – we hope they do!

    We would like to think of the MyDailyApp blog as a way to offer individuals a service. Specifically: ‘We’ll try it before YOU buy it.’ If you’re going to spend money on apps, wouldn’t it be nice to know if you are going to get your money’s worth? We’re doing the homework, and then providing guidance based on our experience with the apps we review.

    We’d be happy to discuss further, if you’re interested in learning more about our blog.

    Thanks again for letting your readers know about it.
