Poking my head into the echo chamber again…

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I’m still hearing the iphone talked about like it’s a developers dream, by the same people who talk about it like it’s some revolutionary device, when it’s really just a feature-poor lackluster piece of hardware using yesterday’s technology and today’s billion-dollar marketing budget.

Have you guys heard about this little mobile device OS called Symbian? You know, the one that doesn’t require its apps to be blessed by the device manufacturer and whose apps can be distributed for free, and using whatever distribution channel the developers like? The one which has already had tons of commercially successful applications?

You know, sometimes I just can’t shovel fast enough.
