Comments on: Nokia’s software springboard in place http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/06/18/nokias-software-springboard-in-place/ Stories from around the Nokia neighbourhood Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:47:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Marc http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/06/18/nokias-software-springboard-in-place/comment-page-1/#comment-899 Marc Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:15:32 +0000 http://conversations.nokia.com/?p=517#comment-899 When I look at the software I use most often for work and play these days I find that it's the cross-platform applications that I keep coming back to - Skype, the last.fm player (both of these use Trolltech's Qt by the way), Eclipse, Firefox, Thunderbird, Emacs, OpenOffice ... I use all of these regularly on computers running Windows XP, Linux, and MacOS (I don't use Thunderbird on the Mac), and for the most part the functionality is essentially the same on each platform. I've been looking forward to the day that I could do the same with applications from Nokia. I'm hopeful that the Trolltech acquisition will make this a reality.

I really think its great how Ovi has support forums where people can make suggestions. I think it's extremely crucial to listen to the people that post there, they may be representing the masses that are too scared or lazy to post their thoughts about what Ovi can and should do. i really think cross platforum sofware is essential, especially with how complex these phones are becoming. but we all know this can go bad and certain programs or softwares can easily become useless.
