Symbian stuff
Well nowadays Nokia bashing is in fashion so I figured I might also add some views. I think Symbian is lagging behind in some critical areas:
1. Default web browser needs to be improved. Whether its rendering speed, javascript execution or support for features such as HTML5, WebGL or Flash 10.1, it needs to be improved. Opera Mobile is a workable 3rd party solution for now but Nokia need to step-up their game here.
2. Phones with better CPUs than an ARM11 680MHz is required. This is not a problem with Symbian but rather with Nokia.
3. Some sort of notification API is required for applications. Qt also needs a good widget API so that an application can have a “display as widget” mode.
4. Symbian^4 is a critical point for Symbian due to breakage of backwards compatibility. Nokia need to work with big-name developers actively so that well known apps such as google maps, skype, opera mobile etc remain available. If these apps were to disappear from Symbian, Symbian^4 will be as good as dead.
