Ovi is my target! Ovi Store is my day-by-day! This is how I feel after 2010 H1.

Ovi is the brand for Nokia's Internet services and Ovi Store is where you can download games, applications, videos, images, and ringing tones to your Nokia device.

In Brazil, Ovi Store is far from being popular. This is because - although Nokia is the number one mobile phone vendor here - there is few Portuguese application available in the store. Actually, it used to have few Portuguese applications! I will explain it, but before lets open a parentheses here.

This year I joined a team in INdT that is focused on testing different technologies, methodologies and application formats for Nokia devices. We have tried to answer some key questions a developer may have when is projecting a new application. A good example of doubt one can have is which video format is better to use in s60 devices: Flash, Ogg, stream? To answer questions like that we have created real applications and verifying public acceptance regarding the technology/methodology/format we are using in the application.

As a consequence we have populated Brazilian Ovi Store with great applications!

• MTV Ao Vivo: watch MTV live in your mobile phone.
• Desguiator: tap your phone twice to make it rings and you'll have an excuse to leave a place or person.
• Vuvuzela: download it and join the crowd of your team!
• Happy birthday: create a virtual birthday cake and blow out the candies.

These application seems to be simpler, but all of them involves not commonly used user interactions with mobile devices. In MTV Ao Vivo, MTV Brazil became the first TV station to 'broadcast' live shows to mobile phones! In Desguiator we use accelerator to capture taps and then simulates a phone call. In Happy birthday we use the device microphone to capture user blows to blow out the candies. IMHO, this is the best way to work with R&D, applying it to our day-by-day, thinking in the final user! Better than that, helping Nokia to make its Store popular in Brazil!
