Releasing SDKs and test devices in advance of a public product release, but according to sources at The Register it seems Sendo have given devs 3 weeks max to develop and app and polish it off. This should buy time for Symbian who should be thinking seriously about how to allow more people (i.e. amateurs) to develop for the Crystal, Series60 and UIQ devices.
Oh dear! Poor Microsoft! Poor, poor Microsoft!
What I can't understand though is why news sites, like the BBC (of all people) seem to be so pro Microsoft, yet when they report on Nokia, they deliberately emphasise the negative.
Here, the BBC point out how wonderful Microsoft are in complying with the court ruling over Windows (though anyone who reads around the subject will realise that the changes are useless), while here, they show the world how Nokia is in a terribly dangerous situation since it has marked down its sales figures (and only puts in a tiny, hard to notice paragraph, the fact that although sales are down, profits are up).
I think that Microsoft already rules the world and we're all doomed!
I fear the day that we're all forced to use Microsoft products, forced to put up with substandard quality, forced to pay tax to Microsoft in order to activate our ham sandwiches before we can eat them!
I mean, Tony Blair has had Bill Gates in Number 10 (oo-err) for a visit. What for? To discuss the IT industry? And what do you think Bill Gates said? "Yes, Mr. Blair, Microsoft is ensuring that progress is being made by pushing technology and innovating products to meet the needs of users. Despite the market dragging its feet, Microsoft are improving the communications facilities in hardware and software manufacturing"?
Ooooh! I get wound up by Microsoft lies and spin! As the The Register said, Microsoft can't get a GPRS stack to stand up long enough to salute! And yet Microsoft want to take the credit for everything good while blaming others (including users) for all the world's evil.
