It seems that Nokia just believes in doing what they do best, having familiar tools for developers, which makes it all the more easy for creating great mobile games. Nokia also showcased its next generation mobile gaming consumer interface, showing how consumers can easily discover, purchase, play, manage and share the best mobile games. Nokia believes that with their new consumer interface, people get quick access to new games and information, it's easy to buy and manage your games, and share game accomplishments with your friends.

What more to it that, the developer tools include Game Development Libraries, based on C++ programming libraries, which will be available across multiple devices. The game Development Libraries can be updated and developers can also take advantage of the real-time connected gaming and community features enabled by the N-Gage Arena. Probably the best part from a programmers point of view is the "debugging" as it provides professional development environment with debugging and analyzing tools such as on target real-time debugging and profiling over USB. Developers can also have access to developer support through the new Forum Nokia PRO Games Zone launched today.

Nokia's next generation mobile games platform is expected to launch in the first half of 2007, with a range of titles and devices. To know more, log on to www.nokia.com
