Nokia launched this week a new brand, Ovi (Finnish for 'door'), for its Internet-based initiatives in the direction of photos, maps, music and games. In a clear challenge to Apple, Nokia will - in Europe anyway - launch its very own Nokia Music Store in Q4 2007.

The store would let users download songs from the Internet to their computers or directly to Nokia multimedia phones such as theN81 and N95 8GB phones...and Nokia is saying that it will launch a corresponding service in the USA at some stage.

Insiders are reporting that the format Nokia will go with are 192kbps WMA files.
