Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the selection of nine
additional mobile application developers from Asia, Europe and the
Americas to expand its 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series program.
The program provides select small- and mid-sized developers with
business and market support while showcasing their next generation
mobile applications and services for consumer and business audiences
worldwide.

The nine exceptional companies recognized today join an initial group
of six North American and two European developers chosen in the third
quarter of 2008 to participate in the Innovation Series Program. The
latest program participants address a broad spectrum of applications,
including mobile voice reminders, data protection and device security
solutions, point-to-point travel navigation, Adobe® Flash® Lite(TM)
mobile content for sales and marketing, and reward-based advertising
over mobile devices.

Developers chosen to participate in the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation
Series program cleared multiple selection hurdles over the course of
the past year as part of the Innovation Series selection process,
which included internal Nokia reviews and the screening of
application features and functionality by consumer focus groups
around the world. Each participant in the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation
Series was required to demonstrate that their application or service
provided specific benefits to Nokia mobile device users not otherwise
available, and that a clear market demand existed for such a
solution.

As part of the program, the 2008 Forum Nokia Innovation Series
applications and services are showcased in video demonstrations
created by Forum Nokia and hosted online at popular video sharing
sites, easily accessed by searching "Forum Nokia Innovation Series."

"Nokia is proud to recognize these outstanding developers from Asia,
Europe and the Americas as participants in our 2008 Forum Nokia
Innovation Series. Our program is dedicated to speeding the growth
and development of innovative companies building next-generation
applications and services for the global mobile marketplace," said
