Nokia’s mission is simple: Connecting People. Our goal is to build great mobile products that enable billions of people worldwide to enjoy more of what life has to offer. Our challenge is to achieve this in an increasingly dynamic and competitive environment.

Ideas. Energy. Excitement. Opportunities. In today’s mobile world, it feels like anything is possible – and that’s what inspires us to get out of bed every day.

It is hard enough to design, build, and provide support for a mobile application on a single platform, let alone two or three. Luckily, there are some excellent tools that dramatically reduce the time and effort it takes to get your app up and running on iOS, Android, WP7 and whatever other dark horse platform you wish to deploy to.

Since 1999, MoMo has been bringing together mobile enthusiasts for education and networking events.
