Having always suspected that world domination was on Finland’s agenda, the upcoming release of the Ovi has kept me sleepless at night and caused me to periodically break out into a cold sweat. Obviously this is a miserable attempt for humor on my part, but Nokia has promised that its new Ovi app service will contain 20,000 different applications upon release. 20,000 seems grossly high for a new app store and reeks of some under the table profiteering. Did Nokia quietly pay developers to make applications or perhaps even created the applications on its own? I just can swallow such a huge number and it makes me worried that yet another app service could be tarnished at an early stage of its existence. We currently have the Apple App Store, (Utterly chaotic and filled with useless clutter) Windows Marketplace (Nazi like guidelines for developers) and now Ovi. (Lacking in transparency) I hope I am wrong about Ovi and Nokia, but app services have achieved a rather poor reputation overall and it is up to them to clean up their image.
