The Ovi Store will be the channel to market for apps and content for all Nokia devices, including MeeGo and Symbian-based. Since MeeGo runs on multiple device types, people can keep their favorite applications when they change devices, so they are not locked into one kind of device or those from any individual manufacturer.
