Via Mobile Entertinement, looks like that the Nokia OVI Store is getting 1Million downloads per day and it’s accelerating. Also an OVI Store 2.0 it is in development for the first half of 2010.
“We’re doing just under one million downloads a day, and our download numbers are growing 100% month-on-month”.

Apples vs Oranges vs Nokia
It’s great to see Nokia doing well. In order to evaluate the download volume of an App Store accurately, it’s important to ask whether the downloads are apps, or whether the numbers include apps combined with ringtones, wallpapers, music downloads, and other high traffic content. Apple, GetJar, Blackberry app world, Android Market, and most others measure themselves on app downloads, simply because the technical process of matching phones to the right versions, downloading large app files over shaky carrier networks, getting the app to install, run, register, and work, is a much more complex process than downloading a ringtone or a wall paper. The public may not get this, but anyone who works in mobile does get it. For example, GetJar has well over 1m downloads/day, and they are all apps.
Ciao Bill,
good to see your feedback. Yes, it would be interesting to break those download numbers per content type.
