May Day, May Day! Ovi Store is Here to Help! The traditional May Day exodus of the cities for the seaside is nearly upon us and while most people decide to dodge the traffic by travelling in the middle of the night, the tech-savvie Nokia smartphone user avoids the delays by downloading and using the latest apps from the Nokia Ovi Store. Check out what look like being the May Day apps this year...

Will we have good weather this Bank Holiday or will we be hiding under umbrellas eating soggy chips and lamenting on 'what could have been'? And before it all kicks off do you know where you're going and how to get there?

Well my friend, Ovi Store is here to help with a host of mapping, weather forecasting and parking spot busting apps just for you. What's more, Nokia’s Ovi Store apps are available across a whole range of Nokia handsets and devices, including the entertaining Nokia X6, multi-tasking Nokia N900 and stylish Nokia E72.

    I love Ovi Maps. We went on holiday to Clacton and travelled from near Heathrow, which took us about 2 and half hours. Directions were clear and didn’t keep on telling us not to get off every junction of the M25 which my husbands TomTom does. Best of all my beautiful Nokia 5800 battery didn’t go flat and had plenty of power left when we got there. Well done Nokia/Ovi for producing a great app!
