Earlier this week Nokia launched a new brand, Ovi, marking the company's entrance in to the endless area of Internet Services.

Ovi, meaning "door" in Finnish, will be the umbrella brand and destination to get access to Nokia's Internet Services. Two new services were introduced, Music and Games, in addition to the existing Nokia Map offering - Smart2Go.

The services will be available directly from Nokia devices and/or via a PC. There is a great presentation and more information about these services from Nokia: Go Play press site.

I think the new brand and focus on services makes perfect sense. Nokia can leverage the enormous distributing power they have by being the number one handset manufacturer in the world churning out tens of millions of devices.

The new services will be rolled out over the next 6-9 months, I can't wait. 

The Nokia: Go Play launch party was amazing! great music, abundance of food, drinks and many, many interesting people. More photos from the party on my Flickr.
