We had the privilege of being invited to Nokia’s OneConnectedWorld at Hilton KL yesterday. Nokia shared market opportunities around Ovi Store (we have an account btw), and showcasing the possibilities of Web Run-Time Technology (WRT) and unveiled some exciting initiatives to support the creation and development of mobile applications together with senior executives from Cradle Fund and MDeC.

There was also a show floor (see pictures) showcasing some of the WRT app developed by OTHER developers NOT from Malaysia. It’s really sad that there weren’t any local developers showcasing their apps … oh wait, oh yeah, there aren’t any! How disappointing. Well, we’re going to change that. Nerd Attack will be developing some apps soon.

Media Interview Room, oh no ... we weren't invited, though I wish we were *ahem*

We were greeted by this ...

And here’s the welcome video. I couldn’t get my phone camera to load fast, missing the first few seconds.

That’s all that we manage to capture. Apologies for the bad photos, the Nokia 5800 doesn’t have a great camera after all.
