A quick note to all of you who have, and those who as of yet have not
signed
the WFA user protest
So... he wants more signatures, but the only way he feels he can get
them is to insult everybody? I won't sign now simply because of the
author's attitude, despite his good intentions.

you're not head of a large blindy organisation, though. And though I agree
with your standpoint, to a point, if I ask you, will you sign instead? I'm
asking as someone who, unless Loadstone really decides to do something
useful, will have no GPS undder his platform. You have Mobile Geo and
hmph.
well I myself think simbian rocks.
win mobile, well from what I hear it crashes like no one's business.
On that note wander why no one has designed something around a linux distro,
ubuntu, maybe nvda and something else.
could probably work to.
and you could run linux apps on your mobile.
Given what's out there right now, it can't be done. Platforms are very,

operate aren't present on handsets. Android is based on Linux, by the

thought symbian was opensource.
oh well what exactly will we all use after all that goes away.
not that I care much there will probably be for the forseeable future old

It's open source, but to release it that way, Nokia had to remove a lot
of closed-source components that are critical to the platform itself. If

and, symbian is changing the UI to a better GUI which is visually
appealing and doesnt look like a dos app from 1996. Tthe problem with
this new GUI is its very lacking in the accessibility department. and
will probably take screen reader venders several years to redesign
things to work with
