As everyone must have noticed, Symbian Signed process and site have beed upgraded. Lots of discussion have been about new signing methods like Open Signed and Express Signed, but what does this new process mean to you during development time:

It means that if you have Publisher ID, you will get more capabilities than before.

Previously with Publisher ID you could get everything execpt CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin, DRM, AllFiles, TCB.

Now with publisher ID you will get everything except DRM, AllFiles, TCB. So CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin are there available for all developers with Publisher ID.

(OK, you could have got special access to those before with special process, but that's a different story.)

Sometimes I envy iPhone owners. It doesn't help that my phone - unlike iPhone - has an open platform, tons of 3rd party applications, embedded GPS, good camera, 3,5G connections etc. What my phone doesn't have is the marketing buzz that pushes major web sites to make special optimized pages for iPhone users. I'm a big fan of Google's solutions and when they launched a special service for iPhone, I made a quick software hack and changed the N95 browser to introduce itself as iPhone's browser. Result was somewhat surprising. Both phones have a browser with a common core (I've been told) and AJAX support, so my guess was that pages made for iPhone would work just fine with N95. However, that was not quite the case: iPhonesque Google-pages in S60 don't every time draw completely and some items seem to be missing.
