Nokia’s Developers Forum
Nokia, the global leader in mobility, today announced that its global developer community, Forum Nokia, has now passed the 2 million mark in registrations, reflecting the surge in interest in building applications for mobile devices. Nokia’s global developer program also announced that its Forum Nokia PRO program has concluded its first year, with more than 400 member companies receiving advanced levels of technical and business development support.
“We’ve just completed the most exciting year ever in the history of Nokia’s developer relations activities,” said Lee Epting, vice president, Forum Nokia. “With 2 million registrants, the Forum Nokia community is the world’s largest dedicated mobile application developer community and our Forum Nokia PRO program has surpassed our goals by enlisting 400 of the world’s most advanced mobile development companies in its first year.”
The growing market for advanced mobile applications and services is evidenced in adoption of the Symbian OS(TM), the world’s leading platform for smartphones, including the Series 60 Platform, developed by Nokia and licensed to seven manufacturers. Approximately 50 Symbian OS device models have already been launched and more than 200 operators worldwide are selling Symbian OS based devices. Nokia estimates it will ship 25 million Symbian-based smartphones in 2005.
Additionally, Java(TM) has established itself as the leading language for mobile applications, supported by over 580 models of mobile handsets and with Java services being deployed by approximately 150 operators globally.
