Much needed Apps including Instagram flipboard and Asphalt 8 will be available for Windows Phone 8 RT and 8 1 devices in the coming weeks

It really is Nokias world today at Abu Dhabi – the Espoo-based handset maker has come out with a number of very compelling firsts today. So much so, in fact, that we wish we could somehow shake off that gloomy smile off our faces and witness the legendary companys latest attempt to get back into the big game without a sense of dread. A talk for another day, perhaps.

The new set of Nokia hardware goodness, however, is only a part of the whole package that the Finnish manufacturer will be pushing for consumers to consider. Whereas the aforementioned hardware has hardly ever been a weak point for most any of Nokias devices during the last few years, the software undoubtedly has, despite Microsofts best efforts with Windows Phone/RT. Thats not to say that the underlying functionality and looks of the platform are not compelling, rather, its the lack of an exhaustive app store that has been holding the software down. Today, Nokia is hoping to change that for at least some of us, by adding dozens of new apps to the Windows Phone/Windows RT platforms. Though an exact timetable wasnt provided, starting today, you can expect the see the following in the coming weeks:
