Nokia on track for May online store opening

25 May, 2009

The world's top handset maker, Nokia Oyj, is on track for a May launch of its Ovi application and content store, company officials said on May 20. Ovi Store is Nokia's push into services and could reach more customers than Apple. The company has said the Ovi store will reach about 50 million customers, while Apple has sold about 20 million iPhones.
With about a billion applications downloaded in less than a year, many point to Apple as having proved the market. Nokia asked on May 20 for developers to propose applications for Ovi Maps 3.0, which is in beta testing, the executives said.
