While Nokia\u2019s Ovi Store<\/a> still has a ways to go to even consider competing with Apple\u2019s App Store (although recently-revealed plans for a complete revamp in spring 2010 sound exciting) the Finns are busy beavering away in-house at bringing some interesting applications to Nokia users. \"\"<\/p>\n

In a show of openness that other manufacturers could learn from, Nokia sticks all its work in progress apps up for free public consumption \u2013 and comment \u2013 on its Beta Labs site.<\/p>\n

These are split into two categories, Beta Applications (serious stuff on a fast track to graduate to a commercial Nokia offering in the Ovi Store) and Experimental Applications (research prototypes, side projects and \u201cwacky ideas\u201d that may not end up a commercial option).<\/p>\n

Here we take a look at ten of the best, offering a snapshot of what the world\u2019s biggest mobile phone manufacturer is up to on the apps front \u2013 an interesting exercise, whether you consider the work to be innovative, or lagging behind third-party developers currently working in the same arena.<\/p>\n
