Following the success of Nokia’s first Developer Day earlier this year, a second Ovi Developer Day will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, 1st September, 2010 in the Arrol Suite at the Guinness Storehouse, St. James Gate from 4.00pm. The primary theme of this event will be “App Development Made Easy”, with presentations from Nokia’s technical consultant Riku Salminen, who will showcase different ways to develop for the Ovi store. The event will also cover developer support and overviews of the market, alongside discussions with Forum Nokia representative Greg Merten. QT and Symbian 3 development will also be a key focus of the event, as well as discussions around how Irish businesses have embraced the concept of applications. This is highlighted by statistics that show Ireland’s increased usage of the Ovi Store and the reach Nokia devices have in the market – the Ovi Store has on average more than 1.7million downloads per day, with users on average downloading eight content items. In terms of handsets, there will be a particular focus on the N8, Nokia’s next major handset release. For further information on Nokia Ovi log onto www.ovi.com.

If you are looking for a family day out this Sunday, 29th August, why not make a trip to the beautiful Lough Boora Parklands, located a little over an hour’s drive from Dublin (just off the N52 Tullamore to Birr Road). The parklands consist of a magnificent collection of natural and man-made lakes, along with 50km of walkways and pastureland that provide a home for many animals and plant life.
The event, entitled, Unlock the Adventure at Lough Boora will run from 12 noon to 5pm and activities include nature walks, bike hire and cycling tours, face painting, balloon modeling, food markets and live music. The main attraction on the day will be a series of life-size animatronic wild animals, which are operated by people and will roam around the area, as well as give live performances.
The event is the highlight of the Rehab Waterways Adventure in Association with Bord na Móna, a two week voyage around the inland waterways of Ireland by the heritage boat, the ‘Nieuwe Zorgen’, on an awareness and fundraising adventure for Rehab.
