- ghurlman 15y agoIs that not a normal thing? I've had that for quite a while...
- toyg 15y agoNokia tried to push this line for ages. Yes, it's potentially a very good idea, but in practice you need the content to appeal to actual users. Low-end users like low-end content (ringtones etc), which is what sells on those platform. Apps are substantially crippled by platform limitations in that space, so they are not enticing enough for a clientèle who privileges flashy stuff.
- captain_mars 15y ago> Low-end users like low-end content (ringtones etc), which is what sells on those platform. I can only agree with this partially. Nokia's Ovi store gets the most downloads from India (by far), and the most popular category is games. Just because someone is poor doesn't mean they don't like to have fun. :-) I've seen some pretty poor people (for example, street-side vendors) play games on their low-end feature phones.
- mrkmcknz 15y agoI can just see with it's partnership with Microsoft this could now become a game changer. With the positive news on the WP7 front.
- captain_mars 15y agoLots of people in developing countries don't have credit cards, so, yes, this has a lot of potential.
