List of new apps coming to Windows Phone and Windows RT


Today Nokia took the covers off the Lumia 1520, Lumia 1320, Lumia 2520 and three new Asha devices, at the Nokia World 2013 keynote in Abu Dhabi. The announcement has quite some significance for the Windows Phone platform as the Lumia 1520 is the first hardware to feature a quad-core processor and a 1080p display, essentially leveling the play-field with Android.

Now its just up to developers to bring their apps over to Windows Phone and Windows RT and it looks like the attention from Nokia has pushed several of them to do so.


Windows Phone 8


The following applications will be available to Windows Phone 8 devices and some unique to Nokia Lumia Windows Phones.

Unfortunately the timetable for these releases were not revealed, though we expect them to appear in the store in the coming weeks. Nokia didn't stop there, and also announced that it'll be offering $5 million worth of rewards through its DVLUP developer program that is now available to Asha devs, too. Additionally, Nokia is also providing a range of new design, development and troubleshooting tools that the company is hoping will not only help the creative folk get more productive, but also drive much needed interest for the platform.
