What evidence can Orange offer that it understands the needs of the developer community?
Orange is also a developer and experienced its own Orange branded applications publishing on the major app stores so shares the same concerns as any other developer. Our Orange-branded applications are designed to support core services and premium offers which Orange can propose exclusively to its customers. For example, Orange Maps and TV d’Orange are available on iPhone , Android, Ovi, Windows Phone 7 platforms. In the UK, we have developed specific applications such as Orange Wednesdays, to complement the UK’s existing two-for-one cinema offer every Wednesday. We have also developed apps for a number of other platforms and languages such as Qt, which brings the hugely popular Orange Wednesdays app to Symbian smartphones. Developed by Orange Labs UK, the app was the first Qt app developed for Symbian phones and demonstrates the possibilities of Qt and how it is possible to provide an excellent user experience on existing Symbian touch devices.
