You just knew Nokia was going to take all kinds of lumps trying to be the next one in the “app store” business. But it’s a necessary step if they want to play the game.This already is shaping up as the defining battle of the next generation smartphone war. Apple and the Android community have a huge leg up here (and we’re going to hear more about what’s going on in the Android developer world in an upcoming ecast). RIM has come in recently with their own store. Nokia is a late mover and by all accounts, today isn’t going very well for their Ovi Store from a traffic and performance standpoint, but if they figure out their problems they could reach more people than anyone. Motorola still hasn’t figured out content is king, but might just sneak in the Android door. (iRadio? Went into an indefinite coma, losing out to XM and Sirius who both focused on content instead of pure technology.)You would think Nokia would have gotten this more right on launch; let’s see if they can get going quickly.
