Symbian Signed With the growing business opportunities available on the Asha and Windows Phone platforms, we have been reviewing our developer content programs to see how we can maximize our support to you, our developers. As a result of this review, we have decided to focus our support and investment in new content toward Asha and Windows Phone. Over the next few months we will be transitioning our active developer support away from Symbian and MeeGo. If you have Symbian and MeeGo content in the Nokia Store, it will continue to be available for download to customers, and you will continue to receive download and revenue reports as well as payouts for downloaded content. The Symbian Signed program will also close on January 1, 2014. We are very excited about the opportunities available with Asha and Windows Phone, and hope that you, our Symbian and MeeGo developers, will bring your talents to these platforms. Best regards, The Nokia Developer Team

Nokia N95, N95 8 GB and N82: The evolution of t... In the beginning … When the term “multimedia computer” was first unleashed by the Nokia marketing machine it was ridiculed and rejected by the masses. How dare does a company even attempt to begin to compare a fully functional notebook or desktop computer to a mobile phone? Yes one can install applications on a S60 device in a similar fashion as one can install applications on a Windows or Linux machine, but after that single bullet point the similarities cease to exist. The Nokia N93 is quite a hideous device, but at the time the feature list had the power to make your jaw drop into your lap. The Nokia N95 was next in line, the ultimate multimedia computer, in fact it was what computers have become, but how were we supposed to believe that claim the second time around? The N95 8GB was released as the band aid to cover the wound inflicted by the original. Enter the N82, the multimedia computer that I can proudly call a multimedia computer. Nokia N95, the love hate relationship Red eye.
