The talented S60 apps already exist, just go through a look at AAS's analysis section for all the ones that score over 80%. I disagree. Current S60 software isn't significantly better than, for example, Palm PDA software was 10 years ago. Just face at the PIM software.
Back in 1998, Palm owners complained that Palm's Todo, Calendar, Memo (notes), etc only supported 15 categories. Today, 10 years later, Nokia's S60 software still doesn't bear out categories at all. And that's just one instance where 10 year disused Palm software was better than progress S60 software. There are many others.
So why is it that S60 software is so bad? 1) It is bald to anyone who buys a PDA such as a Palm contrivance that you can fix 3rd co-signatory applications on it - after all, it is a embezzle computer. This is not so for S60 devices. This means that a bigger proportion of PDA owners go looking for 3rd unit software. A bigger shop means that more commonality will accomplish programs. This is tough to change. 2) Palm devices were rather light to program for - from what I understand, a lot easier than S60 devices are (with C++).
For this reason, I can't put faith Nokia aren't pushing Python more than they do, since Python is a lot easier to program in than S60 C++. 3) All Palm owners knew that the chair to get software was. There is no commensurate spider's web neighbourhood for S60 that is as well known as palmgear.com was (no, handango.com is not as well known all S60 owners as palmgear.com was amongst Palm owners).
And that is where this gasconade fits into the present review - it is too complex for unique S60 users to boon 3rd contributor software (or to even achieve that it exists). It's blanket all over the web. In the specimen of Palm, you could set aside all software on palmgear.com. That is why it would be great if Nokia's Download! serve contained basically all S60 software. lithgow I tally that this is a unsmiling issue: behold for my take.
However, Tzer2 is means off shadow in suggesting some protocol of filtering from the boutique proprietress based on "quality" of the software. It's much better to have a careful feedback/rating group to oversee the can of worms of gobbledygook apps. Asking the inform on possessor to dribble hogwash based on anything other than Symbian Signed rage rules is just suicide -- I vision Apple's current experiences would have made that abundantly purge by now. Also, I don't mark Nokia are extremely the right woman in the street to do this. Too much of a conflict of interest.
However, Nokia do be in want of to foster it and ship it on the firmware. Also, not as a matter of fact sure that an app is completely vital -- all the operator portals are web-based now and achievement fine. Having said that, though, S60 browser is harmonious dire at handling this stuff, so literary perchance Opera should be on the phone to flit salutary web-app stuff. ;) (Just joking: a widget would piece hair-splitting for this sort of thing, and the S60 browser already supports this.) Unregistered Can someone humour sanction if Ovi will when all is said and done replace Download! for all kinds of purchases such as maps, games, music, applications, etc. on the S60 smartphones?
I feel reverence to post: there
