Nokia Launches Ovi Mobile Platform: Gaming, Maps, Music Umbrella
by Seth Porges on August 29, 2007

Big news here in London. It’s no secret Nokia’s moving more into the content providing phase these days: offering mapping services, games, and a music store. In order to keep their scattered offerings under one umbrella, they’ve announced the upcoming launch of Ovi. A sort of cross-platform portal, Ovi will let users log on from either their Nokia phone or interneted PC to download their music (to phone or PC), N-Gage (!) games, and nav maps.

Today it’s mostly just a concept, but it keeps their offerings together, and allows them to easily roll out more content down the line.

And that word Ovi? It’s Finnish for door. Naturally.
