Nokia has released its Ovi marketplace without much fanfare, offering Symbian users around the world to have an an app store that they can call their own. Initial impressions are pretty favorable, especially with its attractive easy-to-use interface alongside a dummy-proof “Send to Mobile” button that functions just like how a central transfer program works in iTunes. We hope that the bunch of useful applications will grow in due time to offer some decent competition.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
