Nokia Launches Ovi App Store Internationally

Nokia today launched its Ovi mobile app store. Following in the footsteps of Web stores from Apple, Google, and BlackBerry, the Finnish phone company is offering a diverse number of downloadable apps, including games, maps, news, and utilities. At launch, the store is compatible with more than 50 different handsets.

At present, international users--including places like Australia, Spain, Russia, Singapore, Italy, and the U.K.--are reporting a general sluggishness and lack of available apps in the store. Users in the U.S., on the other hand, aren't reporting anything at all. We likely won't be getting a piece of Ovi until later in the year.
