Re: Ovi Store announced?

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Lets hope its for the better :).

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Just hope their not taking it down to put more rubbish 'audio and video' content on there.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Such as movie trailers :D

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

As I recall, the last Ovi store update accompanied a Maemo update. Hmmm... no, I won't even think it. :p

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

I better get through downloading all the cool content from the ovistore before it goes down tomorrow......... :D

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Gosh! That'll take you ages...

Done yet?

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Yeah, it's going to be a Busy week in Nokia land! :)

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

meeyow ouch Kathy that was shocking :)
True but still lol

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Bears have claws, you know. ;)

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Still looking for content... :D

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Ovi store down!!!

Happy days ahead.............hopefully....

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

A new architecture for the Ovi Store is badly needed so that developers can take proper payment for apps.

Although how long between the changes being made and new applications appearing is anyone's guess.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Ovi Sore...i mean Store is back up and running. You'll be pleased to know that they've updated the store with 0 new apps and games!
Enjoy!!!

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

It isnt running any better. :(

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

That's great news ! :p

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

dont see any difference - except that you can select any model now *before* you log in.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

The rating system went from 3 to 5 stars now :p

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

It no longer has the beta logo for the N900 section.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Atleast the symbian app says that the store is still under maintenance.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Nokia obviously rate themselves highly :D

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

it still has when i go there on the n900.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

doesn't mean you can play them on the N900, though.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Still has Beta logo when I go there on N900???
Only change seems to be you cant give a true really low rating for the crap in there now as they have changed the rating system.

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

only for show? :mad:

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

i don't know. you may try. last time i bought multimedia-content from ovi store, the N900 couldn't play the file. (same with the "send a ...- MMS"-applications they had there for a while... it seems nobody cares if the content is compatible with the device at all.)

it could be this time it's different. don't know - but i'm not gonna try. fool me once...

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

I suspect they're just mp4 files like the free videos ...

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Ok, we have to fool someone to try it ;)

buy a video from ovi store and you may get PR 1.2 for the same price :)

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

ovi now has 5 stars instead of 3 for rating.....

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

ovi store is the pound land of shops.


oh sorry pound land sells useful things and they have tills you can pay at lol

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

There's a "change log" now at
http://blog.ovi.com/2010/03/29/impro...-to-ovi-store/

embarrassing. they took it down for a day to implement... that?

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Apparently the new "Additions" / "Improvements" were from global feedback.

The old Ovi store would have warrented 0 out of 3 stars.
Now with ALL the improvements I can now give it 0 out of 5 stars.

Now theres some user feedback

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

seems like Nokia have no shame. biggest phone company with the poorest online app store....

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

yes. eric and the team have a lot of work ahead of them. I say: cancel easter vacations :)

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Pretty lame from Nokia...can't say im suprised to see no significant developments being made to Ovistore. Been waiting for this lame *** ovistore to deliver half decent apps for us N900 users since i got the bloody device :(

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

Wow...just... wow....

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

oh my....that's some great improvements!

Re: Ovi Store announced?
 

It now promises to "remember me for two weeks"...

Better then not at all I guess. :p

BTW: the rating system is only as good as the input...

I was surprised to see WiKiHow had a 3 star rating. :eek:

When I fist tried it, it was not optified, loaded everything into rootfs, and would not remove itself after a failed install.

With 3 stars now I figured they must have repaired it or suttin'. I almost went through the nightmare again until I re-read the 5 reviews.

Every one, including mine said it was crap.

This app is directly incompatible (Can not be installed) with the emelfm2 utility installed on the N900. >> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=10

After it attempts to install (and fails), it leaves at least 2.5 MB in rootfs. If emelfm2 is removed, WikiHow will install but now adds an additional 3 MB (approx) in rootfs).

Fortunately rootfs is cleaned up once a complete install is removed but remnants of the failed installation will remain until then...

Some may not know to remove emelfm2, reinstall WikIHow, and then remove the full install of WiKiHow to clean up the mess it left when it failed. If they don't, they may be stuck with a jammed up device.

Most reviews (3 out of 5) gave it one star. The guy who had the most to say about what was wrong with it, gave it 5 stars :confused:

Another review that was only one word "useless", gave it 3 stars :confused::confused:

These obvious mistakes when averaged with the others, gave the POS an acceptable 3 stars.

Oh well, a 3 star turd is still a turd...
:)
