AppUp Scott Crabtree from Intel developer relations introduced AppUp which is Intel’s app store.

Nokia Mobile Devices Sales Mix

I’m still trying to digest today’s announcement that Nokia will adopt “Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy”.

So why did 1500 mobile developers show up for a relatively minor operator’s event, … Continue reading →
