How do cell phone users want to get their mobile applications, how do mobile developers want to deliver them, and what’s the future? Web or native, preloaded or installed, at a centralized app store or a distributed model, bundled or installed, offered by a company or a consortium, and open or...

You know this whole Symbian Foundation thing? (i.e. recently Nokia actually bought Symbian and stuck it into the ‘Symbian Foundation) Well, I’m not sold on it. Not yet.
I just got a news release in from Nokia telling me that endorsement for the foundation grows, thus:

Open operating systems, for most folks, means that the operating system is essentially free. The average computer user knows that Linux is free, as in beer, while Windows costs money.

UIQ-based smartphones are going to get their very first fully finger touch controllable web browser in the form of Digia’s @Web. It’s a web browser that’s based on the open-source webkit browser engine that the iPhone’s Safari and Nokia’s S60 browsers are also ported from...

Nokia and multimedia handsets. Mention one and most people will reflexively think of the other. The Finns are known for their N-series mobile phones that can take amazingly sharp and crisp pictures, shoot high-quality video, and store gobs of media.
