Nokia Promises A Huge Show At MWC 2012
In the last two years, Nokia has stayed clear of the Mobile World Congress main event, instead preferring to setup a parallel gathering in Barcelona on the sidelines. But it looks like 2012 will change all that. Not only will Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop keynote at the biggest mobile event of the year, but Nokia will also be exhibiting their latest and greatest work in a huge 2300 square meters space on the App Planet floor.
The huge Mobile World Congress overlay can only mean one thing, new Windows Phone devices.

Nokia’s focus is on the App Planet section of the MWC. The App Planet is MWC’s developer-focused “event within an event”, that targets the ever-changing and critically important mobile apps market. I suspect, we’ll see a lot of Microsoft presence there as well.
App Planet is open to all Congress attendees and will feature:
