Interesting rumor that Amazon.com will open brick-and-morter shops: http://urlshorteningservicefortwitter.com/hrnck about 8 hours ago from web
@wtroberts Is OpenVG only for the OSS release, or do you expect that real devices from Nokia, S-E, et al. will use it too? 11:31 PM Dec 4th from web in reply to wtroberts
Amazed Google can give away so much simply by using Dan Labre's "Tiny Classified Ads" model: http://urlshorteningservicefortwitter.com/32z5c 12:34 PM Dec 4th from web
@paul_todd AFAICT, if you build Qt from source yourself, you can distribute the results as LGPL. Only the pre-built has a special license. 7:20 AM Dec 4th from web in reply to paul_todd
Maybe internal flash memory should work purely as a transparent power-saving, high-performance cache for the removable (SDHC, SDXC) storage. 8:32 PM Dec 3rd from web
RT @karrio: Nokia offers sneak peak at improved 2010 Symbian user interface: http://is.gd/5baJF - a lot of promise there!! 7:17 AM Dec 3rd from web
@victorpalau I know, I am looking forward to it--especially the Avkon source as I don't expect much new effort to be spent on docs for it. 10:03 AM Dec 2nd from web in reply to victorpalau
@symbiancoder EPLing the rest of the source code would be the best improvement of the Symbian documentation. Looking forward to it. 9:49 AM Dec 2nd from web in reply to symbiancoder
The best Symbian news I've heard in a long time: http://j.mp/5lanAE. I think things will be looking a *lot* better for Symbian next year. 7:30 AM Dec 2nd from web
@TATMobileUI Nice. But, I do think Ray Ozzie's right. Every popular app will get ported, cloned, copied, and/or ripped off on all platforms. 12:01 AM Dec 2nd from web in reply to TATMobileUI
@andreascon @OscarB It looks like S60 has started replacing Series 40 in the 6xxx range already in 2008/2009. Not sure about 3xxx or 7xxx. 7:18 AM Dec 1st from web in reply to andreascon
@leemwilliams Thanks 4 DM. That argument will carry more weight w/ non-members when Symbian is fully OSS'd and/or it becomes easier to join. 4:27 PM Nov 30th from web in reply to leemwilliams
Nokia EVP clarifies Symbian/Maemo positioning to GigaOM; Symbian seems to be completely replacing Series 40: http://bit.ly/5GuGLX (last ¶) 1:37 PM Nov 30th from web
@detronizator BTW, I'm not optimistic about Symbian like was in Jan/2009, but I think it'll be OK in 2011/2012. But it'll be rough till then 9:53 AM Nov 30th from web in reply to detronizator
@victorpalau @leemwilliams Same as Symbian & Maemo, right? How much time between S^4 being fully EPL'd (w/ new UI) & 1st S^4 device release? 9:33 AM Nov 30th from web
RT @AAS: Take the hit, steal the march - Ovi Maps Navigation should go free NOW http://bit.ly/5FLdKw 4:36 AM Nov 30th from web
@detronizator Those two tweets in particular were a reaction to the silly idea that lack of marketing is *the* thing holding Symbian back. 7:50 PM Nov 29th from web in reply to detronizator
@OscarB If you look at Android phones + ads, they are marked with 3 brands: Google+Manufacturer+Carrier. "Android" is never mentioned. 1:48 PM Nov 29th from web in reply to OscarB
@OscarB I don't think Symbian will be marketed to consumers; I'm not sure it could be an end-user brand without adding complexity/confusion. 1:47 PM Nov 29th from web in reply to OscarB
Similarly, marketing can't make "maybe available in 2011" better than "available now" or partially-EPLed better than fully-ASLed. 11:44 AM Nov 29th from web
