Since Nokia launched its Ovi Store earlier this year, we, along with most everyone else, have taken our share of pot-shots against it. When the store launched, it was pretty easy, as the store’s search function was busted, users couldn’t re-download purchases, and there were several other problems that plagued the store. To bust this, [...]
While it’s great to be able to upload your photos and videos to services such as Ovi Share, one of the downsides is that it’s often difficult to download your stuff later. Apparently, the Ovi Share team is paying attention, because they’ve added the ability to download your entire media library to your local machine. [...]
My friend James Burland commented recently on Twitter that Nokia needs to announce Apps on Ovi at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in February. Since I read that, I’ve been thinking about just what that should look like for it to be successful, and I want to share those thoughts, to see what you guys [...]

I’m actually rather impressed with the number of applications now available, even on the N95-3, which is a U.S. [...]
Several weeks after the timer hidden in the OpenAtOwnRisk.com site expired, we now have mysterious items showing up in Nokia Download! applications around the globe. If you recall, the story goes that long, long ago, hundreds of years ago, a bunch of royal families got together to create a clip. This clip was supposed to [...]
I recently got a tip to check out a dark, secretive new website at OpenAtOwnRisk.com. The story unfolds that hundreds of years ago, a bunch of royal families got together to create a clip. This clip was supposed to be the weirdest thing ever created, and it actually ended up *too* weird. Thus, it was [...]
A while back, the Nokia Beta Labs launched a desktop Download! client, which was only available for Windows based computers.
