Nokia launches new web services under 'Ovi'

Nokia has launched a series of web services under the brand name 'Ovi' that allows users to download games, maps and music directly to their cellphones.


Nokia's new Music Store, which is in direct competition with Apple's iTunes offering, makes it a large step forward in accessibility. Compared to Apple's iTunes which is less expensive and allows users to download songs directly to their computers, Nokia's Ovi users can download songs directly to their phones.

Nokia has struck deals with the world's biggest music labels Universal Music, Warner Music Group, EMI, Sony BMG and gamemakers Electronic Arts and Game Loft for its game store, N-Gage.


The first Nseries handset with the capability to access Ovi will be the the 8GB memory equipped N81. The device has been slightly optimized for gaming and it comes with a navi-scroller that is touch sensitive, similar to an iPod scroll wheel.
