Mobile handset major Nokia will soon launch the “Invent The Future” apps platform with the help of 15 leading Indian apps developers from Bangalore to drive the growth of its smart phones.
The Finland- based company launched the app titled “ What You Can Control With The Nokia N8”, which allows users to control mini model cars using the Nokia smartphone.
It aims to garner a larger share of the smart phone segment of the market by developing newer apps and also welcoming ideas from customers.
“ We are certainly looking at such newer apps as growth drivers for the company’s smart phone segment,” said Sunil Rao, head of Nokia Forum India.
“ The smart devices (market) is one of the three key focus areas for Nokia, according to our global strategy announced earlier this year,” said Viral Oza, director ( marketing), Nokia India.
“ We believe that smart phones will continue to evolve and enable consumers to communicate with a host of other gadgets and do a lot more with their devices. We believe that this concept will showcase the future of smart phones through the world of devices and apps,” Oza said.
On the app that helps control model cars, which has been developed by Bangalore based chip designing start- up Divum Corporate Services, Rao said, “ This app has been developed in three weeks. It provides consumers with a real life motion gaming experience. Through the device and app, the mini model cars can be controlled from anywhere on the planet through Internet connectivity as well.” Nokia is also holding a contest inviting more ideas from its users starting from home automation to controlling their office gadgets remotely using smart phones, said a spokesperson.
The company is working with nearly four lakh registered application developers in India, Rao said.
