Today I got home from Nokia's Series 60 3rd Edition conference
in Copenhagen. Unfortunately, the presenters were not very
coordinated, so they ended up saying the same things. Most of them
talked about the new security system in Symbian v9.1. A lot of
changes has been made which breaks both binaries and source code,
and the new security model requires much work from the developers.
For example, you'll need to submit every application you want to
release to a testing house to get it certified, otherwise it won't
run. This will cost time, money and hassle, and the decision was
not popular among the attendees. In theory it is a good idea to
require all applications to be tested and signed, but I think
Symbian is taking this one step to far.
