Numo’s SMS Preview hits 1 million Ovi Store downloads

Ewan — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:03:16 +0000

Tomorrow I’m giving a talk at TechCrunch Europe’s GeeknRolla event on the subject of getting big fast in mobile. One of the companies I’ll be looking at is Nokia. I most definitely understand and empathise with the pained expressions I witness whenever I mention the company to mobile developers, however the company’s size and handset volume, together with the fact that almost every handset leaving their factory now comes with Ovi Store pre-installed, means they’re shortly about to become a big, big force in mobile applications.

Here’s an example.

Numo Mobile are the company behind an array of interesting Symbian applications. The one that’s of note today is their app, SMS Preview, which I’ve been using for a long time on multiple handsets.

It does exactly as the name suggests — gives you a preview of your incoming text messages.

Today Nokia announced that Ovi Store users have downloaded SMS Preview over a million times.

A *million* times.

Congratulations to all at Numo. And good work Ovi Store team.

SMS Preview is free and you can download it via the Ovi Store at this url: http://store.ovi.com/content/5165

Good, good news. Excellent proof point for Nokia, especially after the recent news that Nimbuzz knocked by a million downloads via Ovi in February.

MIR Show: Roma Edition – Preview

Would you like to have a quick one minute preview of the MIR Show: Roma Edition?

We’ve had a lot of people asking how the filming went — very well indeed thank you — so I thought it might be nice to post up a quick preview.

I’ve picked out a few scenes and stuck them together to give you an idea of what to expect when the fully produced shows are published shortly.

Here we go:

MIR Show: Roma Edition — Preview from Mobile Industry Review on Vimeo.

Preview of interview with Simon Ainslie, Head of Nokia UK

After the post I published last night about Simon, we’ve had a lot of mails from readers wanting to see how he performed.

Instead of having to wait ’til Monday, here’s a quick 2.5 minutes with the man himself from last night. We’ll publish the full interview on Monday.

Mobile Industry Review Show: Week 42 Preview

Ewan — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 09:30:25 +0000

We’ve got access to a completely new device — the iMovio iKit. Never before seen. At least, as far as we know. Ben and Dan spent Tuesday evening giving it a once-over and we’ve got that — together with coverage of the recent Digital Winter press event. There were one or two absolute gems there.

Here, then, is 47 second preview…

T-Mobile UK G1 Preview – more video of the device

Ewan — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:15:14 +0000

I’ve had lots of emails from people wanting to see more of the G1 from Wednesday’s T-Mobile event.

Here’s another vid for you to feast your eyes on:

The MIR Show Preview: T-Mobile UK G1 Android handset

Ewan — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:05:13 +0000

If you’d like to see what’s coming this way on Monday, we’ve got a preview video for you — hot from the editing suite.

We’ll be dedicating a heck of a lot of this Monday’s Show to the T-Mobile UK Winter Preview — with a big focus on the G1 Android handset due to hit UK Stores in November.

T-Mobile’s Winter Preview

Ewan — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:34:29 +0000

This evening the MIR Show team are off to the T-Mobile Winter Preview. The Jewel in the Crown of tonight’s event is most definitely the Google Phone — the T-Mobile / HTC G1.

It will be excellent to get hands on with that and see what we think about it. Depending on the experience tonight, we’ll try and get a preview video up online tomorrow morning (with the full perspective included on Monday).

Despite a degree of excitement at being able to behold the HTC — I’m looking forward to seeing what else T-Mobile has up its sleeve. For example, there have been many hints about a Broadband Modem WiFi Router.

Bring it on.
