Nokia’s Ovi Store, an app and entertainment warehouse, may soon see full length movie downloads, allowing you to view Hollywood movies on your phone without the need for any additional third party apps. Nokia told Electric Pig that it’s testing out the entire concept of full length movies delivered via the Ovi Store to your Nokia handset. In addition, Nokia has potential connections lined up with movie studios to make it whole concept happen.
“We do have a couple of short form video clips available on store right now and we’re investigating longer form,” he told us. “I can’t confirm anything right now. I can tell you that we are investigating it. We have done a couple of pilots in some countries with some success, and you know we have great relationships with all the major studios.”
