The Ovi store has been getting bigger and better over the past year, with some truly fantastic applications, games and utilities on offer. It’s set to get even better, however, with a mobile games explosion predicted. To find out more, read on after the jump…

Mobile gaming is already a proven strength of the Ovi Store, with loads of applications to suit just about any type of user, on just about any type of Nokia smartphone currently available.

The Ovi Store mobile gaming market is set to get a massive boost in the form of GameJump, however, a gaming service provided by mobile advertising company Greystripe. GameJump currently offers 1200 Java games, with Greystripe making money through advertising in the games themselves.

Greystripe intends to migrate the 1200 Java games from GameJump to Ovi Store, and it also intends to offer in-game advertising for Symbian games sold through the Ovi store as well, potentially luring developers to create even more games.

Greystripe already supports gaming on the iPhone and Android, so support for the Ovi Store and Nokia is a natural progression. It’s a great boost for Nokia fans in particular, and the hundreds of new games on offer should help to make the Ovi Store one of the best mobile phone markets currently available.
