Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mobile maker Nokia and American network provider AT&T are giving application developers the opportunity to win cold hard cash for their "killer apps."
The companies have set aside $10 million dollars for the competition which aims to award developers for showing off the great features in Nokia's new Symbian operating system and the soon-to-be released Nokia N8 smartphone's hardware.
"Whilst this is great news for developers, it's even better news for us as consumers and Nokia users. We've already seen a big leap in the standard of apps and additional functionality available through Ovi Store and this trend looks set to continue over the coming months," said Nokia in a September 23 post on its Nokia Conversations blog.
Nokia is pushing hard to increase the number of applications in its Ovi Store, eager to maintain its lead in the cutthroat mobile market.
According to application analytics firm Distimo, there are around 27,000 applications in the Ovi Store. Rival mobile maker Apple has around 225,000 apps in its store, Google's Android Marketplace around 70,000 and Research In Motion is trailing behind with around 9,808 apps according to Distimo's figures.
