Blackjack Pro is available on Ovi Store here for 2 Euro or equivalent. It will soon be released for S60 5th edition devices such as the 5800. Also in about a week or so there will be a Free version available which has alot less options available for customisation.

In other news, an updated version of Interval Timer Free is now on Ovi Store which fixes the sound problems some people were having.

App fixes and new releases

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to anyone who was having problems with getting sounds to work in my Kitchen Timer and Interval Timer apps, also to those using my Pause On Disconnect app. There was a bug in all of these where if they were installed to any drive other than the C drive then they did not function fully.
I have now fixed all these apps so that they will work on any drive but the fixed versions need to go through Ovi Store QA first, fortunately that seems to have sped up somewhat and the fixed version of Kitchen Timer Pro is already available, and I will post on this blog when the fixed versions of the other applications are on Ovi Store.

In other news, Video Poker Free has been released for S^3 devices such as the N8.

Monthly money statistics

I haven't done one of these before as the amount of money i've made has not been worth making a post about and well it's hardly massively exciting now but I thought it worthy of mention as at the end of the day, this is what most people are going to care about.

MonthIncome from advertising Income from app sales Total
Jan 2011£110.56£75.15£185.71

These figures are somewhat rough in that they are based on the estimated revenue from sales and also a rough calculation of the exchange rate. They do not reflect actual money that I have recieved into my bank account.
