What DataViz has to say about Ovi Store
“As a member of Forum Nokia Pro and with over 10 years in developing mobile productivity solutions across a wide variety of platforms, we have essentially tried every sales channel and business model possible. On-device application catalogs such as Nokia’s Download! client and now the new Ovi Store have proved to be among the very top lead generating activities possible. With a flick of a switch, our applications can be seen, downloaded, demoed and purchased by practically any type of customer in any part of the world. Almost instantly, Nokia provides a global reach like no other and is the reason that our RoadSync push e-mail application is currently being used on over 50 different Symbian S60 device models in over 125 different countries. We look forward to the new and exciting possibilities with the Nokia Ovi Store and expect it to be a smashing success for developers small and large. Oh, and did I mention it is a great way for Nokia device lovers to easily explore and expand the capabilities of their smartphone too!” – Ilya Eliashevsky, RoadSync Product Manager, DataViz, Inc.

Reach Unlimited

Content & price: Name: Trapster®, free
Devices Content is Available: S60
Countries available: World-wide
Languages: English. French, German, Spanish languages coming soon

About Trapster
Trapster® - Your mobile phone alerts you as you approach police speed traps, red light cameras, and speed cameras.  Join a worldwide community that is 1 million users strong.  It's a high tech way to do the same thing people have been doing for years with CB radios and flashing headlights at other drivers to warn them of a speed trap ahead. It works using the GPS capabilites of your Nokia.

The proliferation of speed traps and photo enforcement world-wide is accelerating at a pace never seen before. Local governments are stepping up enforcement to compensate for lost property, income, and sales tax revenues in these tough economic times. Companies such as RedFlex offer zero-cost deployment and revenue sharing, so there is little reason for municipalities to say "no".   And this is happening at a time when consumers can least afford a $300 violation. Trapster is a free and effective solution to this growing problem, and it can save consumers money. It is the right product at the right price, at the right time.

What Reach Unlimited has to say about Ovi Store
“We are extremely excited about the opportunity for Trapster® to be part of the Nokia Ovi Store launch. Trapster is the first and only social network for sharing the location of police speed traps, mobile speed cameras, checkpoints, and photo enforcement points such as speed and red light cameras in real time. The Trapster app for Nokia uses GPS and the Internet to allow users to pinpoint the location of traps, and rate other user's entries, easily and instantly.

With an installed base of 1 billion Nokia handsets world-wide, the potential reach for Trapster on Ovi is huge. Trapster is a crowdsourced application, with all content entered and rated by users. The quality of the service in each given region improves as more users participate; therefor the addition of new users to the service via Ovi is a very positive thing for Trapster.

The Nokia Symbian platform is very well suited to Trapster, with its powerful background processing capabilities, and integrated GPS. Trapster also has many other features, such as real time traffic, My Trips trip recording, and geo-tagged photos and videos. The Nokia platform's advanced photo and video capabilities greatly enhance the Trapster experience.” Pete Tenereillo, Founder/CEO Trapster.com

Trimble Navigation

Content & price: Name: GeoCache Navigator, Free
Devices Content is Available: Most S60 GPS enabled devices
Countries available: All
Languages: English

About GeoCache Navigator
Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache anywhere in the world, find it using GPS technology and then share the find online. Most GPS capable S60 phones can run the Geocache Navigator application.
The Geocache Navigator application turns a standard cell phone into a sophisticated handheld GPS receiver designed specifically for Geocaching.  Unlike standard GPS units, the Geocache Navigator does not require downloading information, tethering a GPS device, uploading coordinates, and updating cache finds after the fact. One device does this all, in the field, with no additional hardware.

What Reach Unlimited has to say about Ovi Store
“Trimble sees the Ovi Store as an effective means to deliver the “Seek & Enjoy™” experience of a GPS treasure hunting using Geocache Navigator. Worldwide exposure to the game of Geocaching can now be enjoyed by most Nokia users with GPS-enabled S60 phones. The Ovi store has the potential to deliver Geocache Navigator from the Ovi portal to a wide range of people in almost any geography. Larry Fox, Business Development

About mig33

What mig33 has to say about Ovi Store
"Ovi store offers many exciting opportunities for application providers such as mig33" commented Doug Bewsher, CMO of mig33. "The Ovi store will enable mig33 to connect with our users and potential users right on the phone like never before, with a vast global reach. In developing markets, most users to date have not had a world class application store. The chance to offer them the specific application that will work with well with their phone should make the application selection and installation process much more intuitive. The combination of ease, reach and relevance, we believe, will lead to more mobile phone users exploring the range of applications on their phone and, by adopting services like mig33, have a richer and more rewarding mobile experience overall."

SearchMe
Content & price:
SearchMe, Free
Devices Content is Available: S60, full support for touchscreen models
Countries available: All
Languages: English

About SearchMe
Searchme is a next generation search engine, designed from the ground up to provide a superior search experience over traditional text-based engines. Instead of a list of blue links, Searchme delivers large images of web pages, videos and more making it easy to find and consume information on the web or a cell phone. Searchme offers significantly improved performance for searching on a phone because it runs as a native Symbian application rather than in a slow-rendering web browser. Unlike other search applications, Searchme supports a full touch screen interface on mobile devices including the Nokia 5800 and N97 phones.

What SearchMe has to say about Ovi Store
“Searchme is thrilled to be able to leverage the power of Nokia’s global scale in devices through participation in its Ovi Store, making Searchme available to over 165 million handset owners,” said Randy Adams, Searchme Founder and CEO. “With our easy-to-use visual search interface, Searchme is uniquely able to provide a superior search experience on cell phones for people who want quick page loads and immediate access to relevant information.”
