I think it makes more sense for the Symbian Foundation to launch an app store independent of Nokia, as I thought the goal of open-sourcing it was to get more handset developers to pick up the OS.

As far as execution, we will see. With Nokia's current global marketshare for handsets being the largest by a wide margin, its obviously attractive. Note, the majority of marketshare is in Asia and EU, not US, where it is less than 10%. As for the carriers, see prior sentence. NOK has never had a great relationship with the carriers in the US, yes, its getting better, and has been quoted by their execs that the US market will be a major focus. I personally do not know how well they will execute however in the US. EU and Asia, I am confident in. The recent move towards services, along with the now rumors of an app store, all move this company towards a services business, with a solid handset distribution, and of course, from monetization perspective, some subscription, but also dont forget Nokia Interactive, the ad business group within the Services unit.

They both dominate the retail stores. Chances are they will succeed. Microsoft never has been the first to adopt in software/Internet, still they always became #1. The same could apply for Nokia and Samsung as they control the retail market. Nokia sells twice as much phones as Samsung. They both dominate the retail stores. Chances are they will succeed.

They will fail when they don't leave that path. They should first make their OS and devices better before starting an app store. I wonder what sites like Handango.com think about that step. Also a lot of carriers where Nokia has long term contracts about software delivery could get into trouble when people visit the Nokia App Store instead the carriers App Store (ex: games).

What's the big deal? The only thing I can think of is that I am based in Asia and you're all in the US. Could it be that you are confusing the absurd restrictions US carriers put on the phones they sell with what you can do with an unfettered phone? Because in other parts of the world you've been able to download and install apps for Nokia phones for years. I’m a little confused by all of this app store hype. What’s the big deal?
