Nokia has launched a new website, N-Gage Insider, targeted at the game development community.

It promises to offer "in-depth, cutting edge technical information" about the N-Gage platform, including details of the latest N-Gage SDK updates.

It also promises community blogs from N-Gage developers, a dedicated developer forum, and interviews with key Nokia execs about the platform's development.

One of the key battlegrounds in the next-generation mobile gaming market is going to be for the hearts and minds of developers.

With Apple facing some criticism for its lack of communication with iPhone developers, Nokia has an opportunity to ramp up its own community activities.

Of course, the key question many developers want answered in relation to N-Gage is when it'll be available on more handsets. Here's hoping N-Gage Insider can provide details on that soon.
