Before Android, there was no phone platform with open app development, JavaME and Symbian require a code signing certifiate (at about $300 per year) just for running your own code on your own phone in an acceptable manner. Symbian seems to have opened up a little bit in the last few months with free online signing for your own IMEI, but it is still very little, very late.
- dejb 17y agoNot True. Windows CE/PocketPC/Mobile has always allowed you to get Apps from anywhere.
- viraptor 17y agoThey don't - you can run basically anything you want on JavaME without code signing. The only difference is that you can't set a permanent "ok" for some actions without it (that depends on the phone model though).
