More recently, <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2010\/01\/21\/with-new-ovi-maps-nokia-seeks-location-heaven\/\">Nokia has talked about the success of its Ovi Maps application<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2010\/02\/02\/are-emerging-markets-eough-to-fuel-nokias-ovi-store\/\">increased usage of the Ovi store<\/a> with over million downloads a day. Nimbuzz, I presume, is being helped by the marketing push being made by Nokia in many countries.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s great to see Nimbuzz pass the million downloads-mark, I would expect it to start reporting active daily sessions in the near future. Downloads, after all, are only part of the overall engagement metric on mobile platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Nimbuzz recently passed 15 million registered users and now is adding about million new people every month. Nimbuzz got a big boost from its iPhone application, and has <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2009\/12\/17\/nimbuzz-android\/\">also launched<\/a> an Android version.
