Or maybe it's the background.]]>May 21st 2009 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/

That isnt hard to believe at all. My phone now is easily more powerful than my first computer, maybe even my second one.

That being said, it really wont matter how powerful your device is as long as meets a certain basic criteria, if the cloud goes mainstream, OnLive is a good example.

But it's a cultural as much as technological front. You can look at the source code of any Web page today, understand it. Web pages are a standard, there's a lot of interoperability at the web (http) level. It's truly building a web of trustworthy information. Can we do that with our computers? With Linux based systems, that's an intent. With Symbian?

Sorry, they're coming out of left field, and I don't trust their cultural or technical indications at all.

Don't ask me how I know....]]>May 20th 2009 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/I can sort of imagine if Android ever takes off on phones that there might eventually be enough cool applications that you'd be happy to use it on a netbook. Maybe not now, but in some hypothetical future that goes Android Crazy.

But Symbian? Seems a bridge too far.

Now we have the iphone, the android, but a few years ago, the symbian was the best SO for mobiles, and we going to see new improvements in that SO i belive so, they going inovate for catch up the others SO's.

But at the moment i'm so happy with my WinMo HTC, but i continue recomend nokia smartphones for all people, they are simple, and do what the have to do, and in the real other only a few people use the full capacity of a phone, the others only use it for make calls and send SMS, or listen music, and that almost any phone is capable to do, and symbian do that so good ;)]]>May 20th 2009 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 20th 2009 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/




CDMA Sucks Go ATT]]>May 21st 2009 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/
If these devices include smartphone hardware (touchscreen, 3G, GPS, accelerometer, compass, etc.) and support cell phone calls and SMS, the mobile operators would be able to generate revenue from:
1. data contracts.
2. phone calls & SMS.
3. app purchases (e.g. operators get a cut from Android Market app sales).
4. value-added apps & services that leverage the capabilities of these "smartphone" devices.

Netbooks/tablets running a desktop OS don't offer all of these same revenue opportunities for the operators.]]>May 21st 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/symbian-foundation-boss-talks-up-symbian-for-netbooks-and-more/May 21st 2009 6:51AM
