What will the Open Screen Project partners accomplish?

 

Partners in the Open Screen Project are working together to provide a consistent runtime environment for web content and standalone applications — taking advantage of the Adobe® Flash® Player and Adobe AIR® runtimes — that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops, mobile phones, televisions, and other consumer electronics. The Open Screen Project will address potential technology fragmentation by enabling the runtime technology to be updated seamlessly over the network on mobile devices. The consistent runtime environment will provide optimal performance across a variety of operating systems and devices, and ultimately provide the best experience to consumers.

On 16 February at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia announced two new programs that will create ongoing development and revenue opportunities for developers around the world.

The first – the new publishing to Ovi solution for developers – is a self-service publishing tool that provides developers with an easy way to distribute and monetize their applications and content to consumers using Nokia devices around the world via the new Ovi Store that will launch in early May of this year.

To get started, register as a publisher for Ovi: http://publish.ovi.com

Once you are accepted as a publisher, you can submit your applications and content for distribution through the Ovi Store. As a publisher for Ovi you will also have access to the publishing guide and more information to assist you in the publishing process.
