Nokia’s Ovi Software Development Kit released to invited and excited Javascripters
September 4, 2009
Nokia’s Ovi Store launched in late May — and then promptly crashed. The company has long-since gotten everything working smoothly and so is now so confident about its stability that it’s letting other developers in on the party. Coders proficient in HTML, CSS, and Javascript can apply for access to the beta SDK, invitations for which are being doled out right now. The navigation-focused kit includes a number of UI widgets and controls that will help any ‘ol app sport the clean, understated Nokia look, as well as things like the Ovi Navigation Player API, which makes nav-related apps much easier to get up and running. Nokia’s not giving any indication of just how long the line at the door is or what criteria it’s using to judge who gets past the red velvet rope into this shin-dig, but we’d recommend at least a shave and a clean shirt before applying. Vids excitedly discussing this wondrous new world are embedded below.

Acer and ASUS reportedly freeze netbook releases until 2010
July 28, 2009
Looks like even Acer and ASUS are getting bored with the Atom N270 — Digitimes says the two companies are suspending development of new netbooks until the first quarter of 2010 when Intel’s next-gen Pine Trail platform with the Atom N450 is set to arrive. What’s more, Acer’s also apparently postponing that dual-boot Android / XP machine since it’s found demand to be low — we could have told you that months ago, but whatever. Still, turning off the netbook spigot will be a big step for the two companies most responsible for the segment’s overheated product cycle, but don’t you worry about them — they’ll have plenty of CULV thin-and-light machines to obsessively iterate in the meantime.
