Nokia’s Ovi Store said to be launching with 20,000 ‘items,’ unknown number of apps
Filed under: Software, Nokia, Symbian
The launch of the Ovi Store is just around the bend and, according to reports, Nokia is looking to blow this things out a little better than Google, which launched its Android Market with a paltry 50 selections. Nokia is said to have over 20,000 “items” ready for download when things go live, a number that compares quite favorably to the 40,000 apps Apple currently offers through its App Store. However, what remains to be seen is exactly what an “item” is defined as. We’re sure that count includes custom apps and WidSets, and there’s talk about N-Gage games finding inclusion as well. However, video and music downloads seem to be counted as well, and we’d guess ringtones too. So, how many actual applications will it have at launch? That remains to be seen.
