40 hours to complete a full-fledged app, that’s the concept behind a Hackathon. We added – on a new platform and in a new app category – and the bar was raised even higher. Invited by Nokia, a three member strong team accepted the challenge. We went to London and came home, surprisingly, as the winners and with a (physically) big € 50,000 check.
Now we look forward to our Duudle game to be released and to bring some Xmas joy and fun!
Check out the Hackathon video shot by Channel9 (including an interview directly after the award ceremony, with three very happy but also very tired fellows):
“Our opinion? This game will be huge. It has a great UI, the gameplay is totally unique and it has what you folks want, turn-based multiplayer action.” wpcentral
When your cloud suppliers is out, you’re out too. For Amazon the disaster was a “Performance issue” according to their health check dashboard. We have a different story to tell, for us this meant a 100% outage, a “Service disruption”. Yesterday we booted up the primary functions and today we’ve recovered most of the Mobile Documents system, wrecked by Amazon’s backup system running amok. This is what happened.
19:41 CET, Sunday August 7, 2011, a lightning strikes out a transformer in Dublin, Ireland. The lightning sparks a fire and explosion, and propagates into Amazon’s data center where its backup generators fail, that normally kicks in automatically. An Amazon cloud power outage is a fact. And out goes the Mobile Documents service as well. You could expect that a top-notch modern data center should be able to withstand a thunder storm. No problem you may think, the center will soon get power and Amazon can restart their instances.
Being slected and making it to the final of Europe’s 100 hottest among the most successful companies was very exciting news. Now being a Red Herring Hot 100 Europe Award-Winner makes us extremely happy and motivated.
There is exciting stuff in the pipe and we hope that you will continue giving us your support. So we’re happy to let you know that we’re about to lift the beta on some parts of the Mobile Documents quite soon, (no date disclosed).
Thank you all that help us with your feedback. It’s really welcome. Keep it coming. We read everything and listen.

Thank you all for voting Mobile Documents. We’re just stunned. Winning Nokia’s Ovi Daily App’s 2010 “Must-Have App of the Year Awards” makes us just feel humble – the finest award we could receive. This struck us as a lightning from a clear sky, but will motivate us to work even harder 2011.

For all of you that have been waiting for the Symbian^3 version of Mobile Documents (BETA 0.9.19) – you can now download it from Nokia Beta Labs. For all of you with an older Nokia Symbian phone, an S60 version is in progress too, so stay tuned.
We’re very excited to work with Nokia and the Beta Labs team. As you know, we always ask for feedback and now we get the forums and other tools to really get issues, ideas and feedback organized. Mobile Documents is the next generation email and solves the #1 problem in mobile email, heavy attachments. With our unique cloud-boosted approach to emails, attachments and documents we’re the first and only to enable real mobile email and mobile document sharing. But it’s more, it’s something you need to experience for yourself, so try the beta and let us know what you think. You got a Nokia Symbian^3 phone, head to Nokia Beta Labs. You can also read our Nokia guest blog post.
Watch the video shot at Nokia World where our lead mobile developer demos multi-touch of Mobile Documents on the new Nokia hardware.
Opening a whopping 71 megapixel image on a mobile hasn’t been done before, most likely. Real soon a Symbian^3 Mobile Documents release featuring multi-touch will hit the Ovi store as well. The E7 will be an excellent messaging tool for Mobile Documents with its big screen sizeable qwerty keyboard.
We’re humbly honored to be selected as 1 out of 10 winners (GigaOm Winner Announcement Press Release) to present on stage at the Mobilize 2010 event, the number one mobile web industry conference, set to take place September 30th at the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, organized by GigaOM.

Yet another new major BETA release of Mobile Documents for Symbian based smartphones is available. This release includes two major news.
The new BETA features Free email, Exchange support, Auto-Start and more.
First, we now support Microsoft Exchange natively, meaning that 80% of companies and organizations can use Mobile Documents.
Second, we now step into the Freemium model of operating. The good news is that we now offer unlimted number of free email accounts, (until now we offered only two).
The new release is available from m.mobiledocuments.com if you’d like to try it out on your mobile. If you already are a Mobile Documents user, you will be notified via the update server once you start Mobile Documents on your mobile. (It will be made available from on Ovi store, PlayNow Arena and GetJar soon as as it clears QA on each.)
