Following up his high profile piece on Psion, midweek over at The Register, Ewan caught up with long time Technology correspondent Andrew Orlowski in a London bar to talk about the article, and to go into a bit more depth on the topics raised. Ewan also wanted to find out what Andrew thought this meant for Symbian and the current smartphone market. And how could today not be complete with touching on the launch of the Apple iPhone in the USA? All this in AAS podcast number 27.
Read on in the full article.
Very informative interview.
Andrew Orlowski you should interview David Wood of Symbian and pose some of your observations about design and see how he (David) responds.
I agree, that was a very informative and entertaining interview. Had my attention from the start.
Thanks.
Perhaps a follow up article on the un-sung hereos would be good
Mr K - on how to build h/w that lasts forever on 2 AA batteries
Young Steve - on how to write window servers properly
Howie, on why OPL is still light years ahead of Java
CJ - on almost anything
NickT - nuff said
Charles D - on how to write code properly
KirolCarol on how to keep us all amused
The Double Gloucester on how to serve black cheese
Maybe even me on how to be a sad human compiler
etc, apologies to all those not remembered...

But at Symbian, David can influence Nokia's investment decisions and its user interface design in about the same way we can influence the weather. We can wish it would stop raining (hey, it has!) but not much more.
Worth nothing that Symbian seems to recognize that performance is an issue, and has addressed it in 9.5. But the OS is simply a low-level component, and Symbian doesn't do UIs any more.
