Nokia Ovi Store Major Revamp for 2010 The Nokia Ovi Store – the one stop drive through job for all your Nokia smartphone apps, utilities, wallpapers and games – will be one year old next year. The site has seeing an amazing amount of content being uploaded and as part of Nokia's continuing development programme, the Ovi Store is set to get a major revamp in the next few months. Find out more about the Ovi Store in 2010 after the jump...

George Linardos, Nokia’s vice president of product, media, has apparently stated that a new version of the Nokia Ovi Store  is 'being built in the background' and will be set to launch in the Spring. This won't be a Ovi Store 2.0, or dramatic re-imagining, more a tighter focus on getting the key aspects of the site working smoother and better.

These improvements it seems will be a more intuitive interface, so users can get to apps for their device faster and easier, and speed, so getting what you need will be easier. There are no details on what the new interface of Ovi Store will look like so we'll have to wait and see.

According to the report on electricpig, we're most likely to get the first glimpses of the new UI at Mobile World Congress in February. One thing is for sure, it looks like 2010 is going to be a great year for Nokia.

    I hope this update includes better descriptions of the applications. Like the following:
    - More space for descriptions
    - Versioning
    - Changelog
    - Certified tags: “Optimised for”, “Tested on”, etc..
    - Better screenshots
    - Potential for a link to demo video

    It would also be great if they added a widget category and generally revamped the categories.

    I suppose all that we can do is wait and see.
