Nokia Wants Developers to Keep Developing Symbian Apps
The Register: Cell-phone giant pleads with coders to keep building apps for smartphones running Symbian and Qt platforms, in spite of its commitment to Windows Phone 7.
"Purnima Kochikar, vice president of Nokia's community operation, Forum Nokia, is pleased to report that Nokia has evaluated its roadmap and that it now feels confident it will offer a strong portfolio of Symbian products during the transition period to Windows Phone during 2011 and 2012. Phew."
"According to Kochikar, there's plenty to be optimistic about. This includes faster graphics and strong processors on upcoming phones as well as updates to the Symbian user experience, starting this summer with a new home screen, a faster browser, a new Navbar, and a "fresh look and feel" for Ovi Store and Ovi Maps."
