Video reviews: Nokia Chat and Email Service

Interesting. We are starting to see video reviews about our apps:

Nokia Email service, reviewed by Matt Miller, ZDNET Mobile Gadgeteer Blog



Nokia Chat, reviewed by Ricky Cadden, Symbian Guru



Now that we are planning/building a new website, I wonder should we try to embed this kind of 3rd party videos to Beta Labs website too? Would you find these helpful?

Video Blog entries would be usefull too. As well as the user responses / Reviews.

With a load of paragraphs and pics you can get a good idea of the product, but a short Blog Video from one of the makers showing the program / feature can usually get across more than text can. It may be useful for shoing us "Proof of Concept" programs or items

"I’ll throw my voice in agreement here — highlighting reviews, both critical and praising, just adds to the conversation. Since the idea of beta labs is to vet apps for real world use, the more viewpoints the better!"

Exactly. The whole point of Beta Labs (and beta testing in general) is to make applications work better before their proper release, so it's useful to have as many informed opinions about the apps as possible.

Why is this even a question? We should always integrate what our users say about our products and the fact that they're taking the time to make a video talking about beta software, putting those videos on the Beta Labs blog is the minimum we can do to say thanks.

Thanks for the embed, Tommi, and I have to agree with Stefan (though clearly I'm slightly biased. ;))

I think it would be helpful, though, for consumers who know about Beta Labs, but don't necessarily have an RSS reader full of subscriptions to the various sites that might talk about the apps here.
