Ovi: Your One And Only Mobile Store ~ SCRATCH e-PAD!

With almost every handy device in this jam-packed mobile world now armed with full touchscreens, multiple megapixel cameras, wifi capabilities, GPRS features, and immense memory capacity, the battle for mobile phone supremacy enters a new playing field. The name of the mobile game is no longer what your mobile device is capable of doing but what it can do so you can enjoy using it even more. Nokia empowers its users by letting them define how they want their mobiles to function instead of merely being forced to work with what you usually have.

“The Ovi Store will enable our devices to uniquely surface relevant content for consumers based on their mobile device, their interests and their needs, bringing a new generation of media services to the fingertips of millions of people around the world,” said William Hamilton-Whyte, General Manager, Nokia Philippines. "The content of the Ovi Store will range from applications, games and videos to widgets, podcasts, location-based applications and personalization content for Nokia devices - all to make your mobile experience richer and more interactive."
