Volker on Mobile Entertainment: Nokia Ovi's 20,000+
http://volkersthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/05/nokia-ovis-20000.html
Volker on Mobile Entertainment. Nokia Ovi's 20,000. Nokia's interpretation of an app store will be Ovi, and it will launch later this month. This is a biggie since Nokia (according to its own numbers) still commands an imposing market share. Of - globally - 37%. True to its huge self, it now said. It'll come out with all its guns blazing and kick its app store off with no less than 20,000 "items"! This is being compared to Apple's "few hundred" upon launch. So where does Nokia truly stand in May 2009?
