Bye Bye Nokia Store & Hello Opera Store
With a heavy heart it’s time to say bye bye to the Nokia store. The Nokia store- even for Java apps is being shut down.
And now that Microsoft owns the Nokia devices business- it has washed it’s hands off the Nokia store by passing on the baton to Opera – and now, the former Nokia store and the apps we published there will be migrated to the Opera app store.
Hopefully this process will be smooth- but lets see- till now there have been some speedbreakers with Opera software and it’s actions- and it remains to be seen whether the Opera App store will be even a fraction as successful as the erstwhile Nokia store which was once the Ovi store!
After publishing and showcasing our apps on Nokia store for many years – more years than we had thought we would- and more downloads than we originally dreamed- it is now time to say bye bye Nokia store and pray that the future be not too bad for the entire team Nokia which too I’m sure never dreamt they would see this day.
