  •  
    Many things that were once accomplished using Flash objects can now be built using JavaScript - with the added benefit that it is free, typically more web and mobile accessible under most circumstances using best practices for development techniques, and without the need to use proprietary software for development.

Moving to Symbian S60: One Year Later - 0 views

  • too many ways to develop for Symbian devices: native code, WRT (web run-time) widgets, Java, browser-apps, etc.
    • David Corking
       
      What disadvantage did he find with having choice? Fragmented community, inconsistent UI, difficulty integrating with 3rd party apps, something else?
  • 5-9 clicks just to add a calendar item.
  • disjointed software updating -- which requires a Windows PC in older Nokia devices -- that leaves many North American users without fixes to serious issues for all but the most popular of handsets.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • there really isn't something as stable and capable as the Symbian OS (yet).
  • Check with your home or renter's insurance whether they will or not before purchasing high-end models.
  • Nokia's Symbian devices do not always use the same software as Samsung and LG's Symbian devices.
  • Battery life is better with Nokia E-series devices; much better.
  • This platform is fun, but is in major transition; something like what Palm is going through with Palm OS 5 and webOS.
  • phone as a laptop/MP3 player/GPS/web server replacement
  • definitely had its points where I wanted to turn back to the Palm Treos

Dr. Dobb's | Q&A: When Mobility and Open Source Collide | March 28, 2009 - 0 views

  • The web browser is a good example, on a pc it may make sense to ask a user to find, click, type, and browse the web or look for a service. In a mobile, converged product, you need to help the user be present with the service even or especially when they are driving or have the product in a pocket or handbag, and requiring them to constantly select 'yes' or to type in forms etc. are real headaches for a consumer.
  • We will not provide a store front, but will help the community create multiple online stores from which they can generate revenue for themselves and the developer.
  • At the other end of the spectrum, you see hoards of teenagers in the U.S., Europe and Asia happily texting one handed, using predictive text.
    • David Corking
       
      No: they do NOT use predictive text - we 40 somethings might - but the kids uset text speak. How does a kid text rom an iPhone in his pocket?

  • Focus on the whole experience, meaning you need to be inclusive of display sizes, input methods, and form factors when you design and develop your applications and services.
    • David Corking
       
      How much time does a Symbian app developer have to put in to considering all the different Symbian phones on the market?
  • .Net CF
  • expanding this functionality with QT libraries, Adobe AIR technology
  • StyleTap has a Palm emulator that allows you to run thousands of Palm applications on Symbian products
  • Red Five Labs has a runtime for Symbian OS which ensures Microsoft .net applications can be fully supported.
  • many people around the world are not buying and cannot afford a PC.
  • The Symbian Foundation is helping to do this by ensuring we lower the barrier for entry for software developers.

Mobile Wiki Server for iPhone - Welcome - 0 views

  •    April 26th 2009 1.3.5 Pending Approval
    • David Corking
       
      Does this mean "pending approval by Apple for the app store"?
  •  
    I can't see the point of having a wiki web server in your pocket but that is probably my failing. Maybe it is handy as a private notebook you can also share informally. This is the first finished Squeak application for the iPhone.

  •  
    It wasn't that long ago when I was searching for a couple of good code-snippet applications to store bits of source code. Well, I found a couple and published 2 Really Useful Code Snippet Applications. Now, I've found a few more worth noting, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but they all serve their purpose nicely.
