The Future Symbian UI - the most important thing not discussed in Monaco

For those that haven't seen it, David Wood has posted about some proposals that Nokia have made to the Symbian Foundation here: http://blog.symbian.org/2009/04/30/reviewing-the-release-plan/ These include: 1) Qt for S60 to become an official part of the Symbian platform...

Qt on S60 Open Source Project - Bluemapia

Do you like to work on the cutting edge of mobile technology? Are you interested in social networks or location based services using free maps? Want to get involved in an open source project on mobile phones? If the answer to any of those questions is "yes" then maybe this...

Symbian getting open source friendly - almost there

We've had some really great developments for open source on Symbian OS in the last couple of months, most of them have already been reported but I thought I'd do a quick summary and look at what's still needed. We had Open C/C++ to let us write standard C/C++ code on Symbian, now we've...

Symbian Signed - a proposal

OK, so it's easy to criticise Symbian Signed but they have been improving things. I still think there's further to go so here's my simple proposal for the next step. I'll call it Free Signed. Free Signed is just like Express Signed except that it's free and there're no test...

Application Quality & Numpty Physics

In my last post I talked about a smart new S60 application and its implications for Symbian Signing and platform security. I said I'd talk about the other part of Symbian Signing, application quality, in my next post... so here it is already. My personal opinion is that what...

Who will guard the guardians?

This is a dual purpose post. First I want to highlight the brilliant work of one of my fellow Forum Nokia Champions - Marco Bellino of Symbian Toys fame. His recently released application, Guardian , is really impressive and I strongly recommend downloading it to check it out...
