eWeek published an article yesterday quoting an unnamed “Nokia spokesperson” describing Nokia’s criteria for accepting applications into the newly launched Ovi Store:
“Every publisher is passed through a review process prior to their content proceeding through the system. Once they have been approved, a developer’s content passes through a moderation process which looks at each content item and evaluates it against our content guidelines. After each content item passes the moderation step it proceeds through our quality assurance process which runs a set of test cases on the targeted devices according to the content type.”
It’s also stated that applications must go through Symbian Signed Express Signed before being submitted.
