06 Sep 09 Poor response to Ovi Store?
Nokia is surely having a tough time taking the Ovi Store to the masses. While the Apple iTunes App Store did some 100 million downloads in 2 months, the Nokia store is at 10 million since May 26th. Nokia faces challenges of catering a variety of platforms and structure within its lineup, thus the Ovi Store has failed to gain any significant momentum owing to lack of promotion and ease of usage.
With newer handsets coming with preinstalled Ovi Store, we can expect Nokia to better with the platform. Samsung has announced its App Store recently and the app market is surely getting hotter by the day. Nokia has an uphill task taking the Ovi Store to millions of existing Nokia users!

Nokia recently rolled out its App Store competitor – the Ovi Store. Though the Ovi Store is yet to make a buzz with any breakthrough apps like the ones we have seen on iPhone, Nokia has the masses to sell the apps to. Looking to tap the internet active China mobile users better, Nokia plans to launch a Chinese version of its Ovi Store by year end.
It is estimated that Nokia has a 180 million strong user base in China. With the rollout of 3G networks the growth of mobile internet would be fruitful for online mobile apps / services.

21 May 09 Nokia Ovi Store launching before month end
The much expected Symbian app platform ‘Ovi Store’ from Nokia is launching in May itself. Seeing the success of the iTunes app store and the value that good apps add to the sales of a smartphone is what drives the idea of the Nokia App Store – Ovi.
Nokia joins Blackberry, Android, Samsung, Acer, Orange, Vodafone and others in the long list of Apple Appstore inspired companies. Expecting some cool apps for the 50million Nokias out there that would benefit from the Ovi Store.

20 Apr 09 Nokia N97 coming in July
Vodafone UK has the Nokia N97 on pre-sale with availability marked as July. This seems to be a month later than the June target we had seen earlier. That would certainly mean tougher competition from the Palm PRE and the iPhone 3.0.
All the best N97 …!

19 Mar 09 RIP Mosh Download Site; long live OVI
Nokia is killing the MOSH download site atlast. The recently announced OVI store will take the center stage now.
Mosh has a vision to empower the users who could post content for others to download. However with changing market conditions the focus would now be to get quality products from dedicated developers
No fixed date to pull the plug yet, btw Mosh has reached 137 million downloads; well not bad.
