Too little, too late IMO.

btw, this thread should probably be moved to General or something - not really N900 specific.

Re: A NEW start for the Ovi Store. Way to go nokia!

ooops sorry XD hahah but yeah is never too late! Droid just recently caught up with 2mil apps. Nokia will too! WHAT nokia really really really should focus on is the entertainment apps such as GAMES and those fun stuff that iPhone can do! That's what iPhone stands up high. As you can see ALL of their ads attract people with their games - drinking apps and such. You never ever see apps such as facebook, youtube, or crap like that on their poster ads, online ads. It needs entertainment for customers/user friendly.

Imo it's never too late and at least even the current OVI store gets 1m downloads a day(so Nokia claims), but we will see how this goes. OVI store was just bad from the start thought the amount of apps is much better than then, but it does need revamp at some point no doubt.

However, he also said that the current iteration of the Ovi Store has always been intended as a stopgap measure, designed originally to consolidate Nokia's various content distribution initiatives – Download, MOSH and WidSets.

“All the while there's been this new platform being built in the background, which we'll be talking about in the next couple of months and launching in the Spring with what we're calling 2.0,” said Linardos.

nice find! that's good to hear. Wouldn't hurt for Nokia to add more entertainment like games from publishers too, when it will benefit all the Nokia customers and themselves

Gravity developer Jan Ole Suhr had well-publicised problems after the app disappeared from Ovi Store abruptly, while EA is distributing Java games through Ovi Store, but investing far more in the development of native iPhone titles.[/url]

HE BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT IMPORTANT TO BE INVISTED! DO YOU WONDER WHY APPLE STORE SUCCEEDS? CUSTOMER WANTS MORE DEVELOPERS! WE TOTALLY AGREE ON THIS WHY WONT YOU NOKIA!?

Re: Nokia taking Ovi Store criticism to heart, planning revamped version to rival App Store

Those of you who might not know Nokia is doing big revamp to OVI store in spring this year. Current OVI store was meant to be stopgap and 2.0 has been on the works for a long time. This was said by Nokia last year.

Now it seems that we might get some more info this week if this is true.

Nokia is holding a press conference on Thursday morning in London to share some "big news" on its Ovi services.

They are also saying that Anssi Vanjoki is in this event.

Re: Nokia taking Ovi Store criticism to heart, planning revamped version to rival App Store

The thread "OVI store 2.0" with four posts has been merged into this thread.

'Big' Ovi news coming on Thursday, says Nokia

Re: 'Big' Ovi news coming on Thursday, says Nokia

Expect nothing more than Ovi 2.0; though, I would think that the announcement were a bit more global than something (locationally) just in the UK. Possible to be something else, maybe a region specific model at best.

Re: 'Big' Ovi news coming on Thursday, says Nokia

looks like there will be one in San Francisco too

Re: 'Big' Ovi news coming on Thursday, says Nokia

You can find the news already from here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36743 :)
I wouldn't say just 2.0. It's at least supposed to be a real revamp of OVI.
Anssi Vanjoki is speaking in the event so it won't be Nokia announcing that they now got 1 milion and 4 daily downloads from OVI store ;) Thought no devices that's for sure. It's some weeks till MWC(or Nokia's case it's own event next to MWC).
