If you are a developer and wondering how to get your apps published for the Ovi Store, this short video tutorial will help you and your team manage the process. You need to register at www.publish.ovi.com. It is currently free to register but you will need to be patient with your approval process. The Ovi Store also offers developer support through Forum Nokia.

The revenue share model for the Ovi Store is 70% in favor of the developer. The store will be available starting May 2009. So yeah, if you’re a developer, we suggest applying now.

It’s attention back to the S60 developers who are currently running an online video contest! It’s been all about the apps lately as the group wants you to show off your best S60 Tips or do a show and tell of your favorite S60 app (mine is still PaNoMan). It’s crazy creativity that will be the judge – as well as the YouTube community who will rate your videos! The contest closes on the 20th of May leaving us with 12 days for submissions.

There are some guidelines for the contest and you can read the official page by clicking on this link.

PRIZES

Grand Prize: The latest S60 device + Handango gift voucher

Second Prize: Bluetooth Headset + Handango gift voucher

Random Prize: An S60 device will be given via a random draw from all submissions

The grand prize for both categories is one of the latest S60 devices and a Handango gift voucher, second prize is a Bluetooth headset and Handango gift voucher, and third prize is a Handango gift voucher. In addition, an S60 device will be drawn amongst all the submitted videos.

The winners will be announced on the 29th of May in the community group page.
