While you were patiently waiting for the Store to be up and running again, we were working to make it even better. These are some of the enhancements we have recently introduced.

Search improvements
We’ve fiddled some dials and levered some levers in the background to help improve searching by title – basically, we’ve set the top slot to directly reflect an app when you search by title. 9This means that title is prioritized over other elements, such as descriptions).

Use Email as your username
We’ve heard from some folks that logging in with email address makes things easier.  We’re happy to announce that starting today, you can! Your password remains the same, but you have your choice as to how you would like to login.

We want your feedback!
We want to know what you think and how we are doing!  We’ve implemented a short user survey (Called Net Promoter Score, or NPS) on the website, so please do let us know what you think.  Good or bad, we want to know and use the info to improve your experience.

Faster browsing
We’ve made device selection becomes optional, and you can now browse the full selection of content before filtering based on your choice of device. It’s a great way to check out the great apps and games available for another device before you upgrade!

And for our publisher partners
We’re are testing two important areas in a live environment: in-app purchase and even stronger DRM. Based on the feedback of those specially selected Publishers, we will roll out these features to a broader group. If you are interested in participating in either beta, please get in tough with your Ovi team contact.

So, we’ll admit we are excited!
And yes, we like to geek out over every small improvement that makes it better for you, whether you are a consumer or publisher.
