Mobile & Wireless: Nokia Parties with Mobile App Developers in London


At an all-day media event in London, Nokia shared its views on its relationship with developers, where it's going with its Ovi Store application marketplace, future directions on native and Web development for Nokia devices, and more. In addition, the often stodgy Nokia let its hair down and partied with the press and developers at its London flagship store on trendy Regent Street—just across the street from an Apple store Nokia held its Media Day one day prior to the Symbian Exchange & Exposition (SEE 2009).
