1.6 million downloads per day on Nokia Ovi Store

The downloads per day on Ovi Store has reached 1.6 million but I guess Apple App Store could only laugh at it because with the current numbers, it may take Ovi about 7 years to be in the same level with App Store.

The App Store opened on July 10, 2008  while the public beta for Nokia’s Ovi was first released August 28, 2008. In comparison,  over 4 billion applications have been downloaded from Apple’s App Store to date.
