Nokia had started a content sharing service called “mosh”. The service allowed Nokia phone users to upload and share Symbian themes, wallpapers, ringtones and graphics such as icons and menu designs. The files could be shared with selected mosh users or everyone, depending on the sharing preferences. This was a great user-created marketplace for mobile customizations.

Before some time, Nokia had announced that they will be releasing Ovi Store in May which will be a platform for publishing Symbian content. Now they are getting ready for the release and informing mosh users about the re-branding. I am a member of Nokia mosh and just received a mail from them saying that they will be re-branding this service as Ovi Store, which would focus on Applications, Games, Themes, Videos and Podcasts. It offers similar features of AppStore with iTunes Store, Software Developers can sell their applications on the Ovi Store and get 70% of the revenue.

The Ovi Store is not live yet. You can stay updated by visiting Ovi Store and signing up for updates.

Google Chrome has been there for a while and captured many users, some even switched from Firefox to Chrome. Chrome has been remarkable where speed and performance is concerned, though there were issues with flash objects open simultaneously in multiple tabs. But, overall it has been doing great!

However, Google Chrome is available for Windows only and a Mac version is awaited. It is said to be released this fall. Mac users are waiting to get their hands on Chrome for Mac. Manu J, a developer has made a stripped-down, basic version of Chrome for Mac. The application does not offer all the features of Chrome, but it works, and it works fast like Chrome.

I downloaded it and tested it out for a while and was impressed, it is really fast and gives the Chrome feel on Mac. There are a few features missing, including Open in new tab, Flash support (YouTube), Deleting bookmarks, etc. but it should be good for some basic surfing and checking out Chrome on your Mac.

Have you sent an E-mail and regretted the next moment that you hadn’t ?? This happens a lot of times. Sometimes, when you miss a point in the mail, or forget to attach a file or even send a mail to the wrong person. Well, we all have wished for an “Undo send” feature, but there was no such thing. But now there is! Gmail has just introduced the “Undo send” feature as a part of Google Labs.

When you send a mail, you can see a Mail sent notification, just like when you save a draft or archive a mail. The notification will have an Undo link and will only stay for 5 seconds. If you click on the Undo link, then the message will be opened back in the Compose tab.

To enable the Undo send feature, go to Settings -> Labs and find the Undo send feature in the list. Then click on the Enable radio button and Save Changes.

Boxee has just updated its application and added a few updates. Hulu had stopped allowing content to be viewed in third party apps and Hulu support broke in Boxee. However, this version of Boxee fixes that. This time Boxee is pulling content from Hulu through RSS. Besides fixing hulu, Boxee has introduced AppBox. Its their first take at an application store that makes it easy for users to install new apps and plugins. I guess this will be the next media store after the iTunes store! They have also included native support for 3rd party repositories, so you don’t have to rely on boxee as a gatekeeper for what goes into the official boxee app store.

Boxee also adds an Auto-updater so that you dont need to fetch updates from their website everytime.
