Nokia’s Ovi Store, which is just their fancy name for an app store isn’t even officially launched yet, but that doesn’t stop mobile applications like Qik, the mobile video streaming app, from announcing that they’ll be a featured application in the store — probably because there’s a wait list to get in.

Qik will also be integrated with Ovi Share, a place for members to upload, store, and share their collection of photos and videos — including Qik videos of any length — from their computer or mobile device for free. So Qik users will be able to automatically crosspost their videos to Ovi Share.

Given that Qik works on over three dozen Nokia phones, their alignment with the Ovi Store and Ovi Share is a logical next step. It’s also a perfect partnership for Nokia, because it further reminds us all that Qik is readily available in the Ovi Store, while it’s more senior application competitor refuses to officially support apps like Qik that attempt to use the iPhone’s camera for video.

Ovi Share also looks to be Nokia’s answer to MobileMe’s online photo offering, allowing users the ability to store their entire photo and video galleries in the cloud. Giving Qik users the option to include their videos in one gallery is an extra incentive for Nokia users to keep all their media organized in one place. We just hope it’s not as problematic as MobileMe turned out to be.
