  You're joking, right?

  Nokia is now almost-entirely aligned with Microsoft
  (dare I say "controlled by Microsoft"?); why on Earth
  would Microsoft want Nokia promoting either MacOS or
  Linux or, in fact, any technology that would allow
  users to escape from Microsoft (and .NET, etc.)?

  Even for Nokia, the Ovi store is positioned as a place
  to go to get "phone stuff" (and maybe, someday, "tablet
  stuff"). It isn't a general-purpose app store for all
  computers everywhere; positioning it that way would
  greatly dilute its message and impact.

It doesn't exist yet. But should.

The Ovi store is for Nokia phones. They have a great infrastructure. Nokia just
needs to add OSX, Windows, and a Linux or two (RedHat/Debian) using the same
stuff.

Then app authors will just link to the Desktop App store for sales. Nokia and
the app authors then advertise, each in their own way.


Sure it would never be as big as Apple or MS or Google/Amazon's Android but it
would help Qt app authors... The attractive WIN here that isn't done anywhere
else is you could get the same app on your phone as for your desktop. (Bundle
Phone and desktop versions, pending application suitability of course)

Just a thought.
