Nokia N900

December 31st, we wrote about Nokia Ovi Store showing the first Maemo apps for the N900, which is the first phone running this operating system. Just today Nokia announced that they released Ovi in beta for the N900, offering a collection of hand-picked content.

You can find the store on your N900 in the main menu of your device. Alternatively, you can visit the Ovi Store from your computer and select the N900 from the Nokia Mobile Selector (under All mobiles).

Currently, there are 30 applications available for the device, which are all free. Although Nokia says that there are already paid applications available (among which Documents To Go), we have not been able to find them in the store.

In November, Nokia launched the N900 phone, the first model running Maemo, a Linux based operating system. Nokia plans to launch more phones with Maemo in 2010. It was already expected, but now the signs are very clear: Maemo Applications are coming to the Ovi Store.

The Nokia Ovi Store currently shows the first Maemo apps:

The N900 is not included in the list of supported devices of Ovi Store, but several applications for Nokia’s new platform are already visible. Thanks to Allaboutphones.nl for spotting this.

The Ovi Store now contains 29 Maemo applications, which are all free. It is expected that Nokia will announce full support for Maemo in Ovi Store early January. We updated Appstores.info with these details.
