London, 1 December 2009 - DN Capital, a leading media and technology early stage and growth capital investor, today announced its investment into Apsmart. The company provides solutions for the rapidly and continuously expanding smartphone market.

Apsmart is a professional service and solution provider for high-end smartphone platforms and develops best-of-breed applications for organisations seeking to execute innovative products on mobile devices.
