\"OnSoftwareDeveloping software applications for mobile phones can be a long and complicated process. In general, if you want to make your site into an app you either need some technical know-how or a budget to pay for someone that does. Not any more though, thanks to Nokia’s groovy new Ovi App Wizard<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The free online tool is still in beta stage but it works very well, allowing you to make your own Symbian app<\/strong> within just a few minutes. Ovi App Wizard can take feeds from RSS, Twitter, YouTube and the like, and turn them into a stylish and functional mobile application. Once you’ve finished you can publish your app to the Ovi Store<\/strong>, and even add advertising<\/strong> to the software to make a bit of cash.<\/p>\n

How to make a Nokia application in 5 minutes<\/h3>\n

1. Visit the Ovi App Wizard<\/a> site and click the link to Try it out<\/strong>. You’ll now be asked to enter the link to the RSS feed<\/strong> of the main content you want to appear in the app.<\/p>\n

\"Ovi<\/p>\n

2. Now you can add links to up to three more RSS feeds<\/strong>. You’ll see a preview of how the app is looking in the emulator.<\/p>\n

\"Ovi<\/p>\n

3. Now’s it’s time to customize the appearance of your app. You should choose an application name<\/strong> and define the titles of your channels<\/strong>. You also need to upload logos<\/strong>, which will appear both in the program and as its icon. Have a play around with the color options<\/strong> too, to get the look and feel suited to your content.<\/p>\n

4. You’re now obliged to register for an app wizard account<\/strong>. Don’t worry though, it’s free!<\/p>\n

5. If you choose to monetize your app<\/strong>, one of the supported ad providers will be able to send money your way in exchange for links within your software.<\/p>\n

6. The next step is to add publishing information and select distribution options. This includes a product and publisher description<\/strong> for the Ovi Store, category of application<\/strong>, and the price<\/strong> you want to charge for the app (it can be free, of course).<\/p>\n

\"Ovi<\/p>\n

7. Now you’re given the option to submit your app to the Ovi Store<\/strong> or view it in the emulator to test it out before publishing.<\/p>\n
