Nokia today announced that its Ovi Store sees 30 lakh downloads every day. It said the growth in downloads has been spurred by overall global demand and a recent update to its Symbian platform.
The company said in a statement that it is also gaining significant software developer momentum with more than 4 lakh new developers joining Forum Nokia in the past 12 months, and apps made by 92 of them surpassing the 10 lakh download milestone.
Last month, Nokia had announced unified application development around the Qt framework to simplify creating apps for Symbian-based devices, and for products that will be powered by the new MeeGo operating system.
Scott Ellison, vice president of mobile and consumer connected platforms at IDC, said, “With Nokia’s stronger focus on the Qt platform and improved developer ecosystem, Nokia should continue to see its developer numbers increase as developers see profit from new revenue shares, operator billings and the ever-growing user base around the world.”
