All About Symbian - News from the Symbian Ecosystem...
Insight 47 - Doom and Gloom
Published by Rafe Blandford at 18:19 UTC, November 11th 2008
In All About Symbian Podcast 100 (Insight #47) we talk about recent device shipment and market share numbers from Canalys. Ewan has a bee in his bonnet with regards to N-Gage, Steve chimes in with his dislike of poorly implemented DRM, but Rafe thinks things might not be as bad as Ewan suggests.
In this podcast we cover:
Canalys numbers (more than meets the eye). We talk about recent device shipment numbers and the future.
Ewan rants about N-Gage and recent numbers from the Nokia Gaming Summit. Steve dislikes DRM. Rafe disagrees (a bit).
I've been the same for a few days. It's a combination of coming down to planet earth after Obama's victory, the time of year, and the fact that everybody around us actually really is incompetent.

Hi Guys,
Really enjoyed this podcast and I have to agree with Ewan & Steve about N-Gage, DRM etc, I think to be truthful Rafe is the same but too scared to actually say anything as he is a big fanboy of Nokia/Symbian & might get into trouble from them, I also think that Nokia/Symbian will have to improve their UI's on their handsets to improve their sales as it is slipping behind the great UI's from Apple, Windows Mobile and give them a few months Android as well, Nokia/Symbians UI is so boring compared to the others, I look forward to Steve giving us an insight to the Nokia touch screen handset on his show when it comes about, not sure it might even be out now...
