It was also announced that the popular photo and video sharing application Instagram will be coming to Windows Phone in the coming weeks.
Our ultimate goal is to bring Instagram to everyone who wants to use it, said Kevin Systrom, CEO and co-founder, Instagram. Were looking forward to watching the Windows Phone community use Instagram to capture and share beautiful moments in the coming weeks.
Nokia also unveiled its own groundbreaking applications including Nokia Storyteller, Nokia Video Director and Nokia Beamer, taking advantage of Nokias latest imaging innovation and deep integration with HERE Maps to allow customers to capture, share and re-live memories like never before.
Consumers are increasingly demanding high-quality, life-enhancing applications, said Bryan Biniak, Vice President and General Manager, Developer Experience at Nokia. Weve collaborated closely with Microsoft and top developers from around the world to deliver unique app experiences, extending the boundaries of innovation for our ecosystem. With the new Lumia and Asha devices, Nokia empowers developers to leverage our latest tools and investments to deliver ground-breaking app experiences that delight consumers and drive increased revenue opportunities.
Starting today, Asha developers can join Windows Phone developers and take advantage of Nokias global DVLUP rewards program. To further bolster development for Lumia and Asha, Nokia now offers over 5 million USD in rewards through DVLUP. Available in over 20 countries, developers can sign up to DVLUP and start collecting points by taking challenges that range from learning more through webinars to actual application development. Developers can convert earned points into awards such as merchandizing, devices and promotional support.
In addition to the Windows Phone 8 update 3, Windows Phone developers have even more opportunities available to them. Starting today, Nokia provides developers with a new set of design, development and troubleshooting tools to be more productive at building applications for Windows Phone.

Windows Phone momentum
Windows Phone Store is stocked with a full range of certified applications and games, with hundreds more titles added every day.

Larger screen Lumia devices and tablet spur immersive new apps
The screen real estate afforded by the larger full HD display screens on the Nokia Lumia 1520 (6) and Nokia Lumia 2520 (10.1) has already inspired developers to create unique experiences for consumers.
Dragons Adventure, a unique entertainment experience built in partnership with DreamWorks Animation, transforms a family drive into an interactive gaming experience. Inspired by the award-winning 3D animated film How to Train Your Dragon, the game uses HERE Maps and LiveSight technology to transform actual landmarks along a drive into the fictional Isle of Berk. Roadways, buildings, lakes, and even real-life traffic and weather conditions are mirrored into the game, personalizing it and transforming the drive into a captivating adventure. Built for the Nokia Lumia 2520, the game also incorporates a companion mode that allows other players to participate by using their Lumia smartphone to create missions, change the action and add new challenges.
Thanks to the incredible innovation of the Nokia team, we can now give families the tools to transform their world into the fantastical world of How to Train Your Dragon, one of our most beloved films, said Jim Mainard, Head of Digital Strategy for DreamWorks Animation. Dragons Adventure is leading a whole new evolution of what a mobile app can deliver. More importantly - its a whole lot of fun. Ive played it and am completely hooked.
Flipboard, a personal magazine, allows people to read and collect all the news they care about, curating their favorite stories into their own magazines. With Live Tiles on Windows, people can digest news faster and easier than ever before. Flipboard will be available for the Nokia Lumia 2520 at sales start and for Lumia smartphones in the coming months.
Today, were excited for everyone to see Flipboard on the new Nokia Lumia 2520
