Symbian looks to seduce iPhone devs with free Nokia 5800s, world destroying robo-duckie

Sure, we feign a lack of bias, but deep down in our hearts we only have one love: Symbian Foundation's robo-duckie mascot. Unfortunately for Symbian, it's going to take all the charm it can muster to win over the iPhone App Store's crop of cash-flush developers. Symbian was apparently at WWDC today, doing its best to woo, with all-day festivities involving coffee, food, a "hackathon," prizes, and free Nokia 5800 handsets for attendees. We're expecting Ovi Store to fill in with some solid €1.00 beer drinking simulators and Zippo lighter apps any second now.

Yup, since there is nothing on the app store but fart apps. And all the devs are just noobs that know nothing, like EA, gameloft, filemaker, etc.

You guys are pathetic. Or at least your engadget comments are. First off: If you don't like the news coverage, then LEAVE. We don't like you either if you're going to keep complaining every time a certain fruit is mentioned.
Kamokazi and many with him are right: Engadget has in fact been very good at covering other releases as well, for example the pre, windows 7 updates and rumors. Yes, even the Zune is getting coverage here. Yesterday Apple held their biggest event of the year, and it would be a shame NOT to cover it to the fullest. Just like the E3 and CES events has always been covered.

So please take my advice and turn your attention elsewhere. Because you know what, your comments here are no longer welcome.
