We seem to have been lucky enough to witness the soft launch of the new Nokia Ovi Store live on devices down under first! Not sure for the reason behind that … perhaps it’s because we have a high percentage of Nokia devices, or perhaps it’s because Australia starts with the letter “A” 
For those of you who aren’t aware, Nokia Ovi is the new “app store” and content delivery channel for around 30+ models of Nokia S60 and S40 devices. They have strategically merged all other distribution and content channels into Ovi, and are looking to capture the purchasing power of 100’s of millions of devices in the market.
The Ovi store website is still not open, but you can go and get the Ovi client on your Nokia device and start buying content. More countries will flow on from here and we’re expecting a formal announcement by the end of the week.
I’ve been playing around with it on a few devices this morning – here’s some screen shots of the process for installing Ovi and finding content … 
Ciao Dale,
very cool !! So, downloads and $$$ flowing?!!
I see Kero Mobile icon!!
Alessandro
Nice. Good luck with your Moketware, Dale.
Ah ha… it’s about time
Looks great! Guess I can start deciding which Greek island to retire to!
Awesome stuff Dale, glad that Nokia has come through and released this in May, I was hearing rumblings of early June and was kind of worried they would be competing with other mobile news (won’t mention names
.
Congrats Nokia and particularly Bill Perry!
Darren, why settle for one, when you can have them all.
Congrats Dale … And best of luck with this initiative…. Here in the US Ovi Store started showing today, on mobile and web: https://store.ovi.com/. Great opportunity for us all…
Also we will be launching an all things Ovi blog (www.openovi.com) portal in the next hours to commemorate this great day for mobile (Flash) developers…Stay tuned!
