Ovi Store Restored, Updated, & New Mobile Client Available, but not for N900

Many of you will of realized, or of read, that the last couple of days, Ovi Store has been offline, and important work has been carried out, updating the service, refreshing the UI, but more importantly, adding more custom, user preferences which have been requested over the recent months.  
There is also a new mobile Ovi Store client available, but sadly, its not compatible with the Nokia's Maemo device, the N900.  Simply launch Ovi Store on your device, and accept to update.  I'm afraid it forces installation to phone memory once again, and does not give the option to choose where you want to install this file.
This maybe due to the N900's current firmware, and things may change with the next PR1.2.

"We’re pleased to provide you with an update on recent enhancements to Ovi Store.   We have three main goals with this Store release: ·
Make it easier to browse, search and discover content·   Improve the quality of content reviews (eg: change from 3 to 5 star rating system)·         Provide more product information to help you decide what to buy When you click on a content item in this new version of Ovi Store, the details page offers more useful information.  It is now easier to find and scroll through example screenshots to decide what to download or purchase (see examples below)".

"Our new content rating system is based on feedback from our global user experience panels that preferred a 5 star system to our previous 3 star system.  We also learned in those feedback sessions that you wanted to see improvements in the content review system. With this release and going forward, only customers who have actually downloaded something may rate and/or comment on it.  In addition, you will know the reviewer’s device and when it was posted, ensuring the freshness and relevance of the user reviews you read".
