For the second part of the campaign we launched an initiative called 'Your wish is my App', through which we invited customers to come and tell us what are the innovative apps they had in mind. The ones that we pick as winners will be converted to workable apps with our developer community. These will be available in the market place for Nokia Lumia devices."
