The Ovi Blog Gets Its Own Official App for Nokia Touch Devices
by JasonBlack
Our good friends over at the Ovi Blog have launched an app of their very own, and it’s a good looking download. As they note, this is the official Ovi Blog Application, and it features content from both their blog as well as from Nokia Conversations. It also includes details for the latest Twitter feed from @ovibynokia content, and details about upcoming events, like Nokia World 2010 which will take place next week in London.
This new video shows the Ovi Blog app in action, on a Nokia N8 – pretty cool. You will notice that content from the Ovi Daily App is featured prominently in this demo – our thanks both to Nokia Conversations for continuing to highlight our best work each week, and to the folks behind the video for making sure we were included!
The app is entirely self explanatory. There is a section on the left for the latest blog content, including stuff from Nokia Conversations; the right-hand side has the Twitter details; and the space along the bottom is reserved for events. When Nokia World ends, expect to see recap and highlight information until the next big show comes along.
As you can see, this app is viewable in landscape mode, and it works very smoothly on Nokia touch-enabled devices. Clicking anywhere within a colored section will pull up all of the latest content for that part of the app.
Click on a headline to see the full blog post, including large reproductions of any images associated with a specific blog post. Additionally, as you can, you can Tweet about any of the posts you see – you just need to log in to your individual Twitter account from the app.
Once you dig in to a specific post, the back button at the top is just a click away, and then you can explore other content, such as the Twitter feed, or event information.
The details for Nokia World may come in handy if you’re attending the event next week, as you will have the schedule at a glance.
The official Ovi Blog Application is free to download from Ovi Store.
