Day Two of Symbian Show
I can’t remember this as well, as I am writing it about 5 days later. However…
- I had a good chat with some of Nokia’s Carbide.C++ guys. Right now our roadmaps are not on a collision course, which is the most important thing. They seem pretty pleased that there are potentially third-party plug-in developers and say they want to help. Or, at least, not squish me.
- Symbian are being exceptionally helpful in dealing with the fact that a small start-up can’t afford their licensing costs.
- I spoke to a major developer of Symbian on-device software who were interested in my ideas and said they would “definitely buy them”. Probably best to take it with a pinch of salt, but still.
- Had a long useful chat with one of the Symbian techies about how best to achieve some of the technical aspects of the tools I’m developing. Followed by further discussions with some Symbianites about how they might make a small change to the OS to make it easier. However, I shan’t be relying on that!
Definitely a very positive day. Lots of things seem to be coming together.
