Nokia is promoting the development of apps for its Asha smartphones to take advantage of growth in app downloads and revenues in emerging markets. The Asha platform reaches many countries and has had over 3 billion downloads. Nokia is introducing a new Asha platform to simplify development and ensure apps written for new Asha phones will be compatible without rewriting code. Nokia provides tools and services like in-app payments and advertising to help developers monetize their apps. One developer saw over $1,000 in daily revenue through in-app ads on Nokia phones.
