I’ve received many emails from people asking me for free themes. Among the most popular requests were requests for Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E61 themes. As you’re probably aware, Nokia E61 sports a full QWERTY keyboard and is one of Nokia’s bestselling smartphones.

Everyone wants a piece of the digital music market, currently dominated by Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iTunes. Nokia recently acquired Loudeye and I believe we can expect to see Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s fingers entering this (very) lucrative market. Also, by being one of the major labels company, Sony is certainly an important “player” in this market. They’ve already had some failed attempts to create an online music store.
