What apps are you missing for the Nokia N9? - maemo.org

qgil | # 1 | 2012-03-29, 19:06 | Report

Hi, are you missing an app in your Nokia N9? Or a functionality that an installable app could cover?

I'm interested in helping connecting the dots between user needs, developers with apps published and developers considering what to do next.

I just started a wiki page:

http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...i/Apps_Missing

You are encouraged to help filling it with useful data, editing it directly or posting here your feedback. If you choose to post here please follow this format for easy copy&paste:

* [http://store.ovi.com/content/ZZZZ App linked to store] - Shortest description.
** Why you miss this app. Is it for a feature that other apps could provide? Is it a specific brand or service you are after? One sentence is enough.

I believe we can get good results out of this!

PS: my work focuses on Qt and http://qt-project.org - hence the interest on MeeGo Harmattan & Symbian apps.

I would really like BBC News but doubt it will happen on the N9...

players apps, like bbc, 4od, itv, 5 on demand etc etc, this probably isn't doable but a zynga poker app that links to FB, since I've emailed them a few times for the source but nothing, but they did mention a HTML5 source.

I'm really trying to get the depth here, and this is why I'm asking to follow the very simple template for each app requested.

Why do you miss these players? Where are you using them? Link to their page in the related app catalog?

Added disclaimer: I work at Nokia and I will do my best making sure the data complied in the wiki page gets to the right people. It's a good chance to provide direct feedback to the source.

*ImageExpo [ http://news.softpedia.com/news/Displ...C-104756.shtml ](couldnt find it in the store) made by DIgia.
** Nothing similar to this available except for the Netview from Nokia. Netview is only possible when using a same wifi network, same network is not always feasible.

I have started listing the misc requests at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...o_be_processed

jalyst - why not replying to the original device program thread - probably followed by most of those devs? At forum.meego.com.

If you can address my post there (not devs for obvious reasons) I surely will.

Thank-you.
