Even in the peak of Google's Android and Apple's iOS mobile operating systems success both in the tablet and smartphone industry, Nokia aside from releasing their Windows Phone 8 versions of smartphones also just announced its new Asha phone that will offer Nokia's new mobile operating system. It's called Asha OS and the first phone to have it is the Nokia Asha 501. And yes it is a smartphone.
As we can see in the image above, Nokia Asha 501 will be available in bright red, bright green, cyan, yellow, white and black.
Now since this phone falls under smartphone category, it means that it should be have its own-supported apps, well we do not need to worry as according to TechCrunch.com, CNN, eBuddy, ESPN, Facebook Foursquare, Line, LinkedIn, The Weather Channel and Twitter are some of the apps that are already available for the Asha OS. Nokia also added that apps that have been created and will be created will be able to run on the future Asha devices.
