Nokia shuts down Mosh to make way for Ovi

Much-criticised app sharing site wound down, and will be rolled into new content store.

Nokia launched Mosh in 2007 as a file sharing service for users to create and exchange useful apps and games. But it was frequently slammed for the amount of commercial content that was being posted and shared.

Nokia always pledged to remove this content, but it didn't do wonders for its PR. Reports say it clocked up 137m downloads in total.

Now the service is to shut down as Nokia push everything into their new Nokia Ovi Store, which is expected to go live in May.
