These days, it's all about the app store, less about the device.
Hence, while Nokia's 2.00.10025 version update of its Ovi Store isn't a massive deal, it is demonstrative of a wider and ongoing progression.
As for the features, the new Store now has full Arabic support on Symbian^3 phones. Probably not that useful for English speakers but big in the over 25 countries and nearly 350 million people who are Arabic speakers.
More apps, more fun
More universal is the ability to install apps and games created using the Qt cross platform development environment on Symbian^3 devices. This means that N8, C6, C7 etc owners will be able to access a much wider range of content.
Users will have update their Ovi Store installation; something they'll be prompted to do the next time they open the store.
