Various reports say that motorola is not going to use Symbian as a platform for its mobile phones. It will focus on Android for midtier phones and on Windows Mobile for Business-focused devices.
One of my articles that has gained lots of attention was written about hacking Symbian Platform Security. Although it turned out that reproducing the workaround found by Symbiaali is laborous, requires strong technical knowledge and its wide-spread use is very unlikely, it clearly showed me that people were interested in this topic.
I'm a big fan of Simon Judge's blog, Mobile Phone Development, and I read his article about Q3/2007 Smartphone Market Share with great interest. I agree with his findings, however, I would add my own thoughts to it, too.
SymbianOne has spotted that an update on the Symbian Signed Web site now shows that TC TrustCenter ASC Publisher IDs are now available for use with Symbian Signed. This is now appearing on home page of Symbian Signed as well. Looks like a good news as these new ACS-ID are significantly cheaper than those from Verisign.
