Visual search app from Searchme
One of my favorite apps in the OVI store has to be the Searchme app. I’ve had it on my 5800 for the past couple days and I must admit it is a great app to have.
Searchme is a VC funded visual search engine, designed from the ground up to provide the user with a better search experience. Since its launch less than a year ago, Searchme has gained favor with web searchers and has more than 4 million monthly users now, growing more than 180 percent since January 2009.
In a short amount of time that I’ve had this app, I’ve found it to be extremely useful and the UI interface is just slick. The key to this app is the way it streamlines the search into categories. As you start typing, visual categories (web pages, videos, music and products) that relate to your query appear on the results page, making it easy to search and provides an immediate access to results. Searchme runs as a native Symbian application rather than in a slow-rendering web browser so it’s a relatively a quick and fast app (with some minor hiccups here and there).

Let’s give OVI some time!
A lot has been said about the launch of the OVI store today. With sites like TechCrunch , WashingtonPost , Venturebeat and others all weighing in on the store’s rather disappointment first day launch and the fact that Nokia didn’t take necessary measurements prior to the launch to ensure they can handle the server load and don’t pull a Twitter on 50 million Nokia phone owners 
.
As a long time Nokia phone owner, I am rather optimistic and I am actually looking forward to Nokia to continue to innovate the store and introduce new apps and process. Let’s give them few weeks to get a hang of things- Remember iphone also experienced several glitches when they first introduced their app store so let’s be fair.
