From Nokia World, 2009, Germany:

Day 2 - focused on services and SDK

"Delivering on People & Places"
  • New OVI APIs and new OVI SDK
  • OVI Maps Player API
  • introducing: OVI MAPS API and
  • Ovi Navigation Player API - add naviagtion for walk and drive to your app
  • Let's simplify - Programmers complained to NOKIA it is too cumbersome to develop apps to different devices (Symbian s60v3,v5, Maemo, etc)
  • -
  • Ovi SDK - contains:
  • APIs for Maps, Location, Navigation
  • Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (web runtime)
  • www.forum.nokia.com/Ovi
  • An example of Navigation app: Primordial (Ground Guidence)
----------

Why the Ovi SDK is only JavaScript (WRT)? If the program is JavaScript, anybody can see the source code, so it is hard to create commercial apps...
