M2Mobi was invited on Radio 1 to talk about the fragmented world of appstores and the recent move of a consortium of Mobile Operators to create one wholesale appstore to rule them all.
Listen here to the full item.
After lots of hard work, we can announce that our Holland Heineken House application is finished and ready to download! SMS Heineken to 3010 to get it.
When comparing this app to other Olympic Winter Games applications, the main advantages of this app is that it does not require data traffic. Beside all the Olympic info, the application obviously revolves around the Holland Heineken House.
“And what can I do with this app?”, you might be wondering. Well, it is the definite guide for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, as well as your reference if you are going to visit the Holland Heineken House and want to know more about it. It has everything!. Where do we start….? It has several maps with sport venues and useful information, sports program, Holland Heineken House program, ringtones, wallpapers, currency converter, etc…
And guess what…yes, as for every product, we want to make it available for everybody, so, as you can imagine, we do have a version for all platforms: iPhone, Android, all Java phones, Windows Mobile and mobile website for those who prefer surfing the Web.
Your only remaining excuse for not having SMS My Position in your phone is gone with the wind…Android users can be happy now, since SMS My Position has finally reached the Android Market! This means that it is available for ANY phone model. Yes, ANY. We said it already many times, but your phone model should not be a barrier for getting good software. That is our philosophy, and that’s why we put so much effort in covering as much platforms as possible. We are sorry that this time it took a bit longer than the rest of the available platforms, but we really wanted to make it a top Android App.
In case you arrived late and you are wondering what SMS My Position is about, please check this.
We have nothing else to say, so now it’s your turn to visit the Android Market and get it! Stop wasting your time explaining your friends where you are. Use that time for something more satisfactory, like enjoying a beer under the sun in a nice terrace while you wait for your friends to arrive.
Today we will fulfill one of our New Year’s resolutions (signing in the gym will take longer): publish the latest Nulaz Release (version 0.5).
We have made an extra effort last Christmas to make it ready for the beginning of 2010, to start the year with great news. Lately we have seen a huge rise of downloads and user activity in Nulaz, and we really want to reward you with new features and improvements.
So, let’s go to the interesting part: what’s new?
We have already applied it to the main stores, but unfortunately, they take their time to approve the updates. So, in case you can’t wait, just go with your phone to www.nulaz.net and get it immediately!
And to conclude, we really, really want to thank you. All the feedback we have got recently and all the activity we have noticed in Nulaz make us feel not only happy, but even more motivated to keep improving it for your needs so you enjoy.
Here you have some screenshots of this new release:
This weekend our server administrator had a lot of “fun”. Normally we already have around 10.000 overall downloads of Nulaz per day, but not a lot through iTunes . Then suddenly our number of users increased rapidly. Uploaded pictures were many more than ususal. Why this rise all of a sudden? Because we made our Nulaz AR premium version free for one day for the AppEvent. Basically, it is an event that consists of making one iPhone app free per day.
It was organized by only one person: Wouter de Smet. He made an enormous effort in contacting a lot of Dutch and Belgium developers to take part in the AppEvent. We would like to thank him for this chance we were given.
And of course, we would really like to thank YOU all. Yes, you, our Nulaz users that hit the AppStore on Saturday by breaking the 5000 downloads barrier for iPhone in a day. We ranked the 12th most downloaded free app in the AppStore. We are very excited with such success, and hope that you are enjoying Nulaz as much as we do.
However, we would like to apologize as well if you noticed that our Nulaz service was slower than normal that day. So many downloads of the iPhone version on top of our usual Nulaz users put some extra strain on our servers which made it slower than usual.
iPhone users use more data traffic than the rest. We are working already in that so it doesn’t happen again.
And to conclude, we have a surprise for you: SMS My Position will be free soon as well in the AppEvent! Please stay tuned.

You have probably noticed that it’s getting a bit crowded in Nulaz sometimes, with people popping up all over the map. That’s because next to our regular’s we’ve welcomed a new stream of visitors in our little world. These people come from Sony Ericsson’s Play Now Arena where we are featured as one of the coolest free apps!
We are glad to see so much traction on Sony Ericsson devices, and we’re happy that our hard work on creating the S60 Touch Version pays off nicely on the new Satio device.
.
We are very proud to announce that we have released full native support for Windows Phone. Windows Mobile devices based in previous versions of the operating system (6.x) are supported as well. It has got most of the features of Nulaz, and they are optimized for Windows Phone.
Very soon this version will also be available in their Marketplace. Until then, you can just download the version from our website. Just go with your phone to www.nulaz.net and we’ll take care of the rest from there.
