You're almost right. Ovi is the third, right after Blackberry's and just barely above Google's:

Doing some reading about AppStore stats, I came about this article:

Nokia's Gigantic App Store

Nokia is preparing an app store second in size only to Apple's.

Nokia is about to shake up the app store world.

The Finnish company is planning to roll out an online store for mobile applications later this month. Though Apple ( AAPL - news - people ), Research In Motion ( RIMM - news - people ) and Google ( GOOG - news - people ) already offer similar services, Nokia's ( NOK - news - people ) launch promises to be the biggest app store opening yet and could re-shape the mobile applications market.

Considering the Ovi promise, the MeeGo promises, the numerous delays (N900, N8, etc); I think there's one huge variable often overlooked when discussing about Nokia's strength (and failures):

Their ability to execute things (as planned).
