Nokia keeps opening its online music stores around the world. Next on their list is Spain, where just today the Finnish giant announced the grand opening.

Spanish Nokia Music Store has a catalogue of more than 4 million songs amongst which can be found the highest-selling records, independent record labels, and new national talent. According to Nokia, the catalogue is focused on the local market, as more than 70% of the music that is sold in Spain is local. To achieve this, Nokia has a team in each country to determine more closely the tastes of each region. The store’s search engine enables the differentiation between genres such as Flamenco, Latin music, Alternative or Electronic, to name a few.

Individual tracks cost 1.50 EUR each, whilst whole albums are 10 EUR. The monthly streaming service, which enables users to listen to any music desired without limit, costs 10 EUR.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
