Today we introduced Nokia Lumia 925, the newest member of the Nokia Lumia smartphone family. The beautifully crafted phone with a metal/polycarbonate body creates a unique look and feel while delivering a terrific antenna performance.
Today we introduced a global initiative that will help developers unlock the market for affordable smartphones by launching the Nokia Asha software platform and the Nokia Asha 501, the first smartphone built on the new Asha platform.
We've designed the Nokia Premium Developer Program to help you succeed on our platforms by providing high value support and
tools beyond what's provided with standard Nokia Developer registration.

Health Pack Games: Benefitting from the switch to Nokia Ad Exchange
Nokia Ad Exchange provides a powerful option to earn from free-to-download apps and to get your apps discovered by more users.
Health Pack Games creates physics based games and has discovered the power of NAX. Michael Kloubkov, the owner of Health Pack
Games, says that since they switched to NAX, advertising revenue has jumped from a few cents a day up to 800 dollars a day.
'It's really incredible,' says Michael, who also notes that it took them less than a day to switch to NAX. A key to their
success has been the way Health Pack Games implement ads in their apps. 'It's all about placement and when you show the ads
that really grabs users' attention,' says Michael. He is also very impressed with the in-house campaigns feature — which enables
you to cross-promote your apps and websites.
TouchMountain, an augmented reality app powered by Windows Phone 8
André Meyer, a student and developer at MIT Innovation AG, talks about and demonstrates TouchMountain. This innovative application
makes awesome use of augmented reality to help users identify the mountain peaks around them, and then get additional information
on the peaks such as facts, weather, and even view nearby webcams. Created as part of a 12 week university project, André
explains that the app benefited from input from Nokia and Microsoft as well as Nokia's community of developers and users.
Talking about augmented reality André says "the possibilities are endless, that's the great thing about it."
