Nokia Adds Apps To The Lumia: Rovio, EA, ESPN, Groupon, Box Among Them; Some Exclusive

Lumia900-Cyan-Image-jpgWindows Phone is way behind Android and iOS when it comes to apps -- only about 80,000 apps compared to 500,000-600,000 each at the other two -- too far behind to possibly ever catch up in actual numbers. So it makes sense that Windows Phone players cherry pick the best apps to make sure that at least these are on their platform. Today Nokia did just that: it announced deals with a raft of companies, including Box, Groupon, EA, ESPN, Rovioand more to add their apps exclusively to Windows Phone for Nokia's new range of Lumia devices.Announced at CTIA, the deals look like they could be the first instance of Nokia leveraging the Windows Phone platform to offer content exclusive to users of its devices: up to now, services like Nokia Maps were actually being rolled out to the rest of the Windows Phone footprint.
