Have you seen the costs to publish an application into OVI store ? The costs are described here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=606664&postcount=2
Summary:
- OVI store registration: 80USD
- Publisher ID: 200USD (ovi reg+pub ID are fixed, so you need to pay 280USD when starting)
- Signing will vary based on the type of app: Java (200USD), Symbian/Flash (20USD)
So, publish a Java app and you will need to invest … 480USD ! or 300USD for some Symbian app. So, if you have a lot of java app it is better to set a higher price to them.
Support for tag more is already tested but stats were not integrated yet into Wordmobi (about 50% done). Some small changes are necessary for PyS60 1.9.6 and I will release Wordmobi only for PyS1.9.6. Unfortunately some enhancements are not compatible anymore with 1.4.5. Moreover, 1.9.6 is the future of PyS60, it is better to stay tunned on it.
I have been busy in the last two weeks implementing a demo application for showing wordpress statistics (WPStats). My idea is to include this application in wordmobi, providing some nice blog views graphics.
The first version is here (source code is available, as usual) for touch and non touch S60 devices, but just for Python 1.9.5 (install it from here before WPStats). WPStats has some nice features, like:
Transparent toolbar at left for all functions. I decided not to use menus and save screen space. The same reason for avoiding labels (better to use popups).
Three views: daily, weekly and monthly blog views. In weekly mode, the week number is showed after the year.
Data persistence and configurable number of days to consider in the statistic.
Zoom and proxy support are missing yet. For proxy, it is just a matter of creating the setup dialog, but I decide to release this version first and receive some feedback.
For people running blogs in wordpress.com, just take note of your API key and setup WPStats with it. For blogs not hosted by wordpress, please read this page for tips about configuring the required plugin. Feedback is welcome since I do not have blogs outside wordpress.
In time: thanks Javsmo for the icons ! How about to convert your blog to wordpress ?
PS: I am thinking about wordmobi supporting only 1.9.5 as well. It is a pain to keep the 1.4.5 and 1.9.5 compatibility.
Update: this feature started with the following question, by Mr. Green. Thanks a lot for feedback and ideas !
> One more thing, if I may: can you add a visit counter to be also visible from the app?

I have been very quiet in the last weeks but working intensely at home. What I want to release in next version:
“The return of icons”. Original icons are already working but I want to include more icons in post and comment dialogs. So, no more “[*]” our “[@]“.
WordPress statistics. A nice and new dialog with “blog views x day” graphic and a “revolutionary” toolbar (at least for PyS60). You will have fun if you own a device with touch support like XM 5800. See this video for understanding the toolbar and see how graphic will be presented in this video.
The version 0.8.0 was generated and tested (but not released) when I saw that Python 1.9.5 had been released with “scrollbar support available for appuifw listbox“. This phrase for me is read as “XM 5800 will work out of the box“. I immediately upload version 0.8.0 to SVN and started to port the code to 1.9.5, before any sis release. So….
I am glad to announce Wordmobi 0.8.1 with support for touch devices and tags !
I would like to thanks all people that helped me, testing, translating, using or spreading Wordmobi.
Instructions:
Please, read section Installing and download binaries from there.
I’m running this on my E71. At first, it had no problem sending post to twitter, but recently I can’t send to twitter anymore. After a while it gives me this message: “impossible to send title to twitter”.
it is common to receive this kind of feedback. However, I could not detect any problem in wordmobi. Two possible reasons:
- some text in the post title is unveiling a bug in wordmobi when posting to twitter (I solved one bug related to this some months ago)
- twitter is down (most frequently reason)
Please, talk to me in private at marcelobarrosalmeida at gmail, providing the post title if the problem persists
When google maps is running, I can’t start any python program. The “pips missing” error appears and interpreter is not launched. I had to restart the phone when this error became persistent, even after killing almost everything.
I saw some redrawing problems when sliding quickly my finger over a list (many fake selections appear) and a bug in lists with one raw per item (see screen below, I think this bug is not mine, it seems to come from bind() callback execution, I will check at Maemo).
Persistence starts to work … magically … very very strange !
Many people asking me what to do. So, it is here a summary:
The device arrived last night and the only thing I could do was to install python 1.9.3 (tricky install indeed) and change Wordmobi to support it. But I noted a problem: persistence is not working properly (only from scripts). I didn’t have time yet to debug, just in next days, so be warned, *do not trust in persistence yet* !

How a free app can survive to this?

Impossible. Never we will have wordmobi in Ovi store. Waiting some special offer from Nokia
