iPhone App Stuck port??
 
Hello there, has anyone seen the iPhone App called Stuck at www.swiftcover.com/stuck-iphone-app ?? I was wondering peoples reaction to having this ported to the N900? I have emailed Swiftcover as I work at AXA and we own Swiftcover and explained the benefits to them!
Has anyone ported iPhone apps to N900 well? ie Angry Birds. Does anyone on here have knowledge on this if we had source code??
thanks peeps.

I'd love to see it too. I have emailed our tech guides and want to gauge some feedback and ideas through here.
I think our inhouse tech guys have done really well with this app and they recognise that open source and Maemo is well something for the future. We also have an app for the iPhone through Swiftcover for Claims. That one is brilliant. If you have an accident, you login, it brings up your policy number, you take a fewpictures of the damage and fill in a form and it sends it all to AXA who sort the claim out right away and everything is dealt with very quickly and smoothly.
More like this would be great on the N900!

Well, I am hopeful that in the future this might come to fruition. In a positive responce from Swiftcover, was this:

'Nokia is a big market for us. Current we are focusing on android and rim platform. Soon after that we’ll do it for nokia.'

Sounds promising to me. I think this is a great app, and somehting like this could really kick start the Ovi Store for Nokia!

I was previously with Swiftcover but left it (due to finding a cheaper car insurance), but having an app like that would be helpful if that time came :)

Doesn't interest me too much, but Im not even sure what its useful for.

The more apps ported or created for the N900 the better though.

They see a better/bigger market on android and rim BEFORE Nokia... anyone wondered WHY?? ;)

I dont think this will work with the N900 as it does with the iphone UNLESS they are all on the same network. I mean if Nokia/Android etc users can all access the same database, then that would be useful....

How many N900 users are out there in , say for e.g london?? out of this, How many will have this app installed?? and how many will be bothered to update if they r in traffic???:rolleyes:

The case is different with Iphone - because it sells by tens of thousands, whereas the N900 sells in units....
