Google, the ultimate savior of mobile
That's why I like Russel Beattie . Definitely the post of the week for me. :) Tote
Symbian Platform Security - hacked?
Well, 3:00am has already passed and I'm tired and sleepy. One thing doesn't let me sleep, though. I've just stumbled upon these articles ( Exploring S60 with AllFiles and Goodbye S60 Platform Security, Hello CAPABILITIES! ) and I can't believe my eyes: Platform Security...
Treading on shaky ground
If I were Dumbledore , then I could put my thoughts, memories in my pensive to keep my mind clear and fresh. But I'm not him at all and my mind now feels overburdened with news that I can't keep in - so I let them out.
You know, it's a great thing to tag blog articles. It keeps them...
Being featured by Nokia
I am honoured to be the featured Forum Nokia Champion this month. However, to be honest I was not prepared for the increased interest about me and my work and surprised to see the flood of e-mails day by day asking me for help regarding this and that problem. I try to answer these e-mails as...
Time of competition - a peaceful summer?
Summer is hot, silent and peaceful in Hungary. I can just sit back and watch/read what's happening around the world. And in mobile space, of course.
Well, it's not that silent as I expected. In the past few days I have noticed new signs of a tough competition between mobile- and consumer...
Symbian Signed is not an anti-virus software
The Register reported today that a new spyware for mobile phones had appeared on the horizon. It's harmful for S60 phones, too, 3 rd Edition devices included. And what causes the stir in the water is that it's a Symbian Signed application . There's a general misconception here, I'm afraid....
My new N95 - comments
I have received my new Nokia N95 device as a reward from Nokia for contributing to the launch of their new service, Forum Nokia Wiki . I was among the top 10 Forum Nokia Champion contributors, you know. We have received something else, too, but it's still too early to talk about it. I'm...
Forum Nokia Wiki - the responsibility of contributors
As Ron from Forum Nokia announced , Forum Nokia Wiki has been launched just a week ago. We, Forum Nokia Champions, were asked to fill the Wiki with contents a few weeks earlier so it wasn't news to us when it was launched. Nevertheless, I thought it was a good thing to have a centralized...
Here is my program, sign it yourself!
I've bumped into the following blog today. This is exactly what I was thinking about a few weeks ago! I asked myself if developers could distribute their apps freely ? Of course, the bottleneck is that they have to sign their apps properly, which is time-consuming and costly. But if one...
Smartphone OS market share in 2006
An article on smartphone OS market share by region (between 2004 and 2006) made me think. Since I'm an analytical mind and also interested in this topic I've automatically started to compare the two figures. And as the author of the aforementioned article has left the analysis part to us (or...
Symbian vs iPhone
I've found a link (thanks, Peter, for sharing) to an interesting article that details why iPhone's (and Apple's) OSX is better than Symbian OS and how it's going to beat it. I have some thoughts about the author's arguments, let me share them. In most regards, Symbian's reputation as a...
Do you think that PlatSec signing process is a nightmare?
Well, then let me share the following article with you about midlet signing . It describes how painful a Java midlet signing process can be. In addition to that, it also contains some basic information about how signing works (e.g. chain of certificates) and what it costs. Shocking experience....
Carbide.C++ - How to purchase it?
We had to purchase a few Carbide.C++ licenses for our company - the first ones, actually. Therefore, I visited Forum Nokia/Tools/SDK section in order to find the right link that I can click on to purchase the licenses. The problem that there wasn't any such link. :( I could have downloaded the...
Smartphone Show, London, 2006
The Smartphone Show in London. I have already heard lots of things about it, but never been there thus far, so I was glad to have the chance to visit it. I've decided to be there for both days (Tuesday and Wednesday) so that I would have enough time to talk to everybody, try out/listen to...
Forum Nokia Champion Day, London, 2006
As a Forum Nokia Champion, I was invited to attend the aforementioned event on 16 October in London. In addition, Symbian arranged their annual Smartphone Show so that it took place on the upcoming days, Tuesday and Wednesday so that I could stay in London for a few more days. This posting is...
