SAN MATEO, Calif.-- DeviceAnywhere, the industry leader in end-to-end mobile app testing, and Forum Nokia, Nokia's global developer program, are now showcasing some of the best apps from Ovi Store through interactive, clickable demos.

  The tutorials are based on DeviceAnywhere's DemoAnywhere solution, which allows consumers to interact with apps on virtual mobile phones via the Internet. To access the demos, visit Forum Nokia's "Ovi Daily App" blog at http://blog.ovi.com/dailyapp/global/ and click on Tutorials.

    "Forum Nokia understands the win-win situation they are creating for consumers and developers. Consumers are happier with their downloads because they already know it is the right app for them and developers will gain a larger and more loyal following, meaning greater revenues over time."

This is the first time that any app store has had a resource like this. Using this DemoAnywhere-powered tool, consumers will make more informed decisions about the apps they download and discover the most interesting ones available. As Ovi Store continues to grow, the tutorials will give developers of the best apps a platform to completely show the capabilities and functionality of their software.

Developers are encouraged to submit their apps to the editors of the Ovi Daily App blog for consideration in upcoming online tutorials. The contact form is located at http://blog.ovi.com/dailyapp/global/about/ and they should type "Idea for Tutorial" in the subject line.

"With Ovi Store, we wanted to help consumers choose the right apps with confidence," said Srikanth Raju, head of marketing, Forum Nokia. "DeviceAnywhere has allowed us to achieve that in a very engaging and intuitive way for Ovi Store customers. It is also a fantastic forum for Symbian developers to showcase some of the impressive and high-quality applications that they continue to publish."

"Forum Nokia understands the win-win situation they are creating for consumers and developers.
