Qt for Symbian for Linux and Apple

Hopefully you will have seen Steve’s posting about Lucian Tomuta’s video on using Qt to develop apps for Symbian devices. If, however, your computer runs on Linux or Apple you may have run into a small problem, there is no compiler for Symbian apps on these platforms. But never fear, there is a solution.

Download! - Still broken on S60 5th Edition

The sad state of Download! has been a topic of discussion in Symbian S60 circles for quite some time. Other consumer device platforms from Nintendo's Wii to Apple's iPhone have managed to show how successful software and content download shops can be if they're easy to use, so why can't this happen on Nokia's Symbian devices? We've taken a look at the latest version of Download! on S60 5th Edition, on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, to see if it's any improvement...

Nokia still haven't fixed their Download! service. Is it time for a third party to step in?

Nokia's Download! service is a built-in app shop on most S60 handsets, and represents a potentially brilliant way to get S60 software to S60 users, increase sales of Nokia phones and generally make a lot of money for all concerned. Unfortunately Download! is a really badly organised shop with a very poor choice of software, and the phrase "massive wasted opportunity" hangs over it. Will a third party now take up this opportunity and offer a proper app shop?
