Developing on Symbian (Score 3, Interesting)

Some of you are missing some key points. Battery life has nothing to do with Symbian. 1. It's a pain to develop for Symbian. I hate to say it but .NET is easier. GCC is easier. Almost anything is easier then Symbian. 2. The head of Symbian is saying that they own the portable OS space. That they have a 2 year lead on Microsoft. Well, the 'computer world' landscape is littered with folks that didn't change and adapt FAST to avoid the Microsoft juggernaut. I don't see Symbian doing anything to fix that. 3. Information on Symbian is sparse and wanting. Symbian charges a $$$$ to go to one of their classes. There are only 2 books for writing C++ to mobile handsets. I don't know of anything for the Psion. 4. Nokia is making phones and Psion is making portable devices... maybe the two device will met in some ephihany device in the future. BUT for now the only thing close is a Treo. Dr. Potter is right to change. Linux takes care of all this. 1. easy to develop on 2. Linux is gaining ground on Microsoft 3. Tons of information on Linux and help everywhere. 4. By choosing Linux, Psion gets a development solution for everyone's tastes. Lots of programs developed for it. Plus, they avoid having to go through any hoops that Symbian or Nokia creates, to serve their needs. The folks at Symbian/Nokia need to wake-up and start address their problems, FAST! The juggernaut is right behind them!
