The Nokia Ovi Store has just reached a new milestone with 3,5 million downloads everyday, three weeks after it reached the 3 million daily downloads. Another big number also revealed that there are 250,000 users sign up daily to Ovi while currently around 400,000 new developers joined the Ovi Store this year. Moreover, the Qt SDK has been downloaded 1.5 times in 2010. This statistics are actually not so impressive compared to what App Store and Android Market did in the past, but surely that’s a good news for smartphones market to see another players join the battle.
Three weeks ago, Nokia announced that the Ovi Store has reaced 3 million downloads despite the number of apps currently available in the Ovi Store that is probably never been officially disclosed by Nokia. Another interesting fact is, that number came from 165 million Ovi users. So that means only a few percentage of Ovi users download apps from the Ovi Store.
However, there are many factors that can boost this number in the future such as the release of Symbian^3 smartphones like Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01 which are likely deal with Ovi Store stuffs. Another thing is the release of Qt Software Development Toolkit (SDK) which is claimed by Nokia can improve the speed and efficiency of creating apps for mobile devices indeed will increase the number of apps hit the Ovi Store accordingly to give more choices for Ovi users.
The last but not least, looking at the Ovi store in the last few weeks there are many popular apps also hit the Ovi Store including the famous game the Angry Birds.
