Ovi Could Provide Gateway to China for Mobile App Developers
In the US and Europe, iPhone and Android handsets might be grabbing all the headlines, but in the notoriously tricky Chinese market, Nokia is king of the app stores.
In a recent post on Mobile Entertainment blog, they reported:
Local study gives Nokia a 65.2 per cent share. According to the IResearch, Ovi is trouncing the competition, and leading the mighty China Mobile app store, which is currently accessed by 57.7 per cent of China's mobile subscribers.
These numbers could signal a useful route infor Western app developers using the Ovi platform. The numbers appear to underline Nokia's strength in emerging markets.
