Nokia Admits Ovi Store Needs Work

“Developers are core to Nokia’s strategy,” he said. “In addition to creating best-of-breed devices and services, we need to be able to put irresistible solutions out there. I came from Sun Microsystems where I spent six years, and I live and die by the mantra Bill Joy made famous that innovation happens elsewhere. We have over four million developers in Forum Nokia.”

Raju said Nokia is looking for applications in four major areas: Internet innovations, Flash, emerging markets and mobile necessities for them, and “apps on maps.”

And Nokia has it all, including tools to simplify development with Qt and the Nokia Web Runtime (WRT). The company has a key platform to expand distribution in its Ovi Store. Nokia has a platform to create differentiation with its Ovi APIs, and it also has resources to raise customer awareness, he said.
