Ovi Store Downloads Reach 3 Million Per Day
jasonblack | 18 November, 2010 12:38
Nokia today announced that Ovi Store has reached 3 million downloads per day and 92 developers each topped the 1 million download mark. Additionally, Nokia is gaining significant software developer momentum, with more than 400,000 new developers joining Forum Nokia in the past 12 months.
In related news, the Nokia Qt Software Development Toolkit (SDK) and the Qt SDK combined have been downloaded 1.5 million times as developers discover this approach can improve the speed and efficiency of creating apps for mobile devices, including smartphones such as the new Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01, which are shipping, as well as the recently announced Nokia E7.
As a reminder, last month Nokia announced unified application development around the Qt framework to simplify creating apps for Symbian-based devices and products that will be powered by the new MeeGo operating system.
“The rapid growth on Ovi Store to pass the 1 billion annualized downloads mark demonstrates that Nokia is a competitor in both scale and size when it comes to its services,” said Scott Ellison, vice president of mobile and consumer connected platforms at IDC. “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.”

Nokia Data Gathering: Open-Source Mobile Data Collection Improves Lives
kevinSharp | 18 November, 2010 00:32
Fresh from Forum Nokia Projects, Nokia Data Gathering is an open-source application that helps organizations to collect data using mobile phones and deliver it for near-real-time analysis. Check out this video to see how Nokia Data Gathering is helping to fight Dengue feaver in Brazil:
The open source project makes Nokia Data Gathering freely available for download, customization, and enhancement. Modify the mobile or server code (both in Java) for your particular need. Suggest future features. Contribute code back to the community so other organizations benefit from your insight.
The project includes the Nokia Data Gathering Playground, a hosted server that allows you to play around with the creation of surveys, send them to mobile phones and export the results for analysis.
