Nokia Responds Ovi Share Rumors
On the previous post, Reuters reports that Nokia has halted its funding on Nokia’s Ovi Share. Then some rumors out there saying that the rumors are fake. But it seems that the rumors are true after an official confirmation. There is no further plan for this media sharing. An office located in Washington that works for Ovi Share also has been shuttered. The further info says that Nokia prefers to allocate its cash, time and energy to build the third party APIs to be plugged into Ovi. It is better than building the own service considering the many similar services out there.
This is their official statement:
“These reports seem to be a reaction to our announcements on April 28th. On that day, Nokia announced that it was making changes in its business that will improve the user experience across its different services. In these changes it noted that the company is accelerating the development of a common platform for all of its services. Thus, naturally, investments in some legacy systems would not be continued.
Further, the company announced that it planned to open up API’s to create more opportunities for integrating third parties. The integration of more third party image sharing and social networking sites to the image capture and sharing features on our devices will improve the experience for customers. This will enable consumers to share their photos and videos directly to these sites, and also have more choice in how they wish to share their files with friends. The company noted it will collaborate with industry leaders in this space, and announce these collaboration agreements later.”
