Open Letter from CEO Stephen Elop, Nokia and CEO Steve Ballmer, Microsoft

While the specific details of the deal are being worked out, here’s a quick summary of what we are working towards:

• Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader.

• Nokia will help drive and define the future of Windows Phone. Nokia will contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.

• Nokia and Microsoft will closely collaborate on development, joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products.

• Bing will power Nokia’s search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing’s next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter will provide search advertising services on Nokia’s line of devices and services.

• Nokia Maps will be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience.

• Nokia’s extensive operator billing agreements will make it easier for consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Phone services in countries where credit-card use is low.

• Microsoft development tools will be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones, allowing developers to easily leverage the ecosystem’s global reach.

• Microsoft will continue to invest in the development of Windows Phone and cloud services so customers can do more with their phone, across their work and personal lives.

• Nokia’s content and application store will be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience.

ㄚ! 無論如何 當朋友還是比當敵人好 畢竟Apple and Android都太強了!

我喜歡Symbian  不過事實是我們不缺OS 我覺得就如同Desktop worl Windows/Mac/Linux 或許Mobile Wolrd 也只需要三分天下　iOS/Android/WM7 .

Symbian + Nokia = Love by Andreas Constantinou

News Source

What triggered the disruption

The announcement surprised almost everyone in the mobile industry. It was hard to predict, but is not too hard to rationalize. It may be argued that there are two reasons for Nokia's acquisition and open source roadmap:

1. Firstly, as a royalty-free, open source licensed OS, Android was too hard to resist for any OEM. Nokia's acquisition of Symbian is essentially the answer to Android, resonating the same core principles, which are
   1. royalty-free
   2. open source licensing for pooling costs of maintaining a commoditizing OS
   3. majority ownership by a single player
2. Secondly, Motorola was bleeding heavily in a financial sense, and so it would have been keen to sell out its UIQ shares, which Sony Ericsson could not assume the burden of, as UIQ was a long way from being profitable. With UIQ out, S60 was the only Symbian-based alternative for Sony Ericsson, and a strategic choice in keeping Google from becoming the "Android-inside" of the mobile industry.

The Standalone Programmer: Communicating with Users By Matt Gullett

Original Articles

...

Communication is a big subject so I have decided to start with this.

Too much is a bad thing
Rule #1: Users understand their workflow better than I do
Rule #2: When a user tells me something, even in passing, they will expect me to remember it.
Rule #3: User communication must be documented
Rule #4: Users rarely take responsibility for follow-up
Rule #5: People are sensitive to how others treat their importance

iPhone真有那麼有趣嗎?

Apple iPhone Link
Pro :
480x320 Pixel
Cool UI, But is it useful ? (Need hand on experience)
Con :
No Keyboard for SMS/Email
No 3G for fast and easy browser experience
No USB Port
No Memory Card Extention
No TVOut
Too big to carry around.
Too expansive. 8G-4G=4G NandFlash << 30USD
Unknow :
No Standby battery usage time
No Java VM Specification.
No Detail Camera/Lens Specificaiton.
True Mac OS X ?
How about QuickTime Player ?

Result : I like Nokia N93 better then iPhone.

MOSOSO NanDesKa ?

MoSoSo, or mobile social software, is software -- generally on a mobile phone or on a laptop computer -- that facilitates social encounters, or mobile social networking by associating geographical location and time with one's own social network.

The basic idea of a MoSoSo is to overlay a location and time element to the idea of digital networking. So it enables you to find people in your vicinity and at that time for social, sexual/dating or business networking. It's worth noting that the time variable is often overlooked in analysis of MoSoSo dynamics.

IMS Research：2011年底 4.46億用戶透過手機看電視

IMS Research：2011年底 4.46億用戶透過手機看電視 根據 IMS Research最新發佈的資料顯示，在2011年底，約有4.46億用戶將會以手機來收看電視。看過行動電視的手機用戶，都會成為行動電視服務最好的推銷員。就像傳福音一樣，一傳十，十傳百。2010年初，收看行動電視的手機用戶也會開始接受其他新的數位廣播服務，屆時會有半數的行動電視用戶會透過行動數位廣播來接受影像服務。

我的問題是這麼多的Report,預測到底根據是啥ㄚ?因為手機上裝的電視我們就會看嗎?或許這些Reseach公司不是只把結論說出來　推論過程也該說明依下吧　不然老是搞一些　"TablePC","3G","PMP" 客戶深表興趣但是不會買的東西. 浪費投資人的錢。通常客戶的興趣和需求都是不同的畢竟說有興趣是不要錢的要人拿錢出來買可是要有個理由吧　興趣聽起來怪怪的吧！

How to Protect Software (軟體保護策略)

  Mark's famous 14 protector's commandments

• 1 Never use meaningful file or procedure names such as   IsValidSerialNum (duh.) If you do use functions for   checking purposes, place at least some required code   that your program really needs, in such a function.   When the cracker disables the function, the program   will produce incorrect results.
• 2 Don't warn the user right after a violation is made.    Wait later, maybe until the next day or two (crackers hate that).
• 3 Use checksums in DLL's and in the EXE.  Have them check each other.    Not perfect but it just makes it harder to crack.
• 4 Pause a second or two after a password entry to make brute   force cracking unfeasible.  Simple to do, but rarely done.
• 5 Self-heal your software.  You know, error correction like modems   and hard drives use.  The technology has been around for years,   and no one uses it on their software?  The best thing about this   is that if the cracker used a decompiler, they may be looking at   a listing that is no longer valid.
• 6 Patch your own software.  Change your code to call different   validation routines each time.  Beat us at our own game.
• 7 Store serial numbers in unlikely places, like as a property   of a database field.
• 8 Store serial numbers in several places
• 9 Don't rely on the system date.  Get the date of  several files,   like SYSTEM.DAT, SYSTEM,DA0 and BOOTLOG.TXT and compare them to   the system date.  Require that the time be greater than the last   run.
• A Don't use literal strings that tell the user that their time is   expired.  These are the first things to look for.  Build strings   dynamically or use encryption.
• B Flood the cracker with bogus calls and hard-coded strings.  Decoys   are fun.
• C Don't use a validation function.  Every time you validate the user,   write your validation code inline with the current process.  That   just makes more cracking for the cracker.
• D When using hard-coded keys or passwords, make them look like program   code or function calls (i.e., "73AF" or "GetWindowText").  This   actually works very well and confuses some decompilers.
• E Finally, never reveal your best protection secrets :-)

Tools that I use to do Mobile Programming

I use follow tools for Mobile programming (Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile)

1.GoDB Enterprise SDK (For both S60 and WM)
2.Flash 8 for FlashLite 1.1 and FlashLite 1.2 (For S60)
3.CodeWarrior Personal Edition v3.1(For S60)
4.Visual Studio 2005 (for WM)
5.Nokia Prototype SDK for Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (for J2ME)

Depends on different situation , I use different tools.
For Mobile Data Service ex. link with enteprise data system, GoDB is a very good staring point.

For Game or Animation or Digital Book Flash 8 is the best solution but FlashLite VM is a big problem to the client.

Some time you need to create some library to support the FlashLite or GoDB, then CodeWarrior Personal Edition v3.1 is must have.

For WindowsMobile Platform only service, Visual studio 2005 is the best choise.
