Nokia Eats its Own LBS Dogfood with its Ovi Store

The big news out of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today is the official announcement of the rumored Nokia app store, officially called the Ovi Store. The difference between it and others (like Apple's or Google's Android store) is that it's a smart store per Niklas Savander, executive vice president of services and software for Noki:

This is not just a place to find applications. It's a smart store. That is not just for smartphones. It actually suggests things you might like and adds social location dynamics to show you relevant applications. And it shows you what your friends have bought. And it changes the inventory based on where you are.
