Design patterns are the same across all engineering disciplines. Mono was designed to port the .NET to other platforms

Mono's greatest drawback is its garbage collection which wasn't sorted since its first version, this only is a reason not to use it on mobile devices. I must command the bloke who wrote the article but he should have provided more details l

Google have a made big step in the right direction, ten years ago Bill Gates promised us a Windows version running on every appliance, Android looks closer then Windows Mobile to achieve that goal. Android looks like a good platform for sma

Times are tough now for everyone, software engineers are not immune. In engineering there isn't any discipline that can guarantee a steady cool job for the next 40 years. An engineer needs to adopt all the time, that's part of the game.

What's wrong about backward compatibility. When MS had to make lots of changes to .NET 2.0 and broke pretty much every application that was implemented for .NET 1.0 that was a major turn off, so many people found another excuse dismissing M

You can't this is where the Android business angle is, it must be connected at all times, and you naturally need to pay for it. What's more if you'll insert an Android sim card to a different phone the data plan won't work!!! It only works

Great story, this is how magic is created. Few mates getting together and want to create something. It's not the idea that count, its the motivation!!

In a perfect world that would have been a great feature. But I can't see google preventing abuse. In the past I worked for this company and we all (200+ of us) gave our product a 5 start rating review at download.com. This rating system is

I've got an N95 version one, and its got some better features then iPhone3G. Every smartphone has its pros and cons, its up to the consumer to decide which one to purchase, and I agree that its up to the press to report it only, and leave t

Would be interesting to see if someone can learn from Googles experience and implement a similar service that will be more successful.

I probably missed the part of: what are the benefits of writing software on a Mac. Developing C# on bootcamp is like developing Linux on Windows running VirtaulBox. I actually experienced the last sentence to one time thing, but on daily ba

Yahoo is a sad story no doubt. It's not they didn't try but there was something missing. Google know one thing, we want to keep people going online, that's there main theme. If people are online they exposed to our adds, done deal. Yahoo! d

I totally agree, this is far from being a major security hall.

I probably missed something, but why Apple are in front in that respect? Google are the web masters, I imagine they could provide a funky solution! One more things: Mobile devices micropayments is an old concept, a mobile phone as a wallet

I see Mono as huge disappointment, with C++ losing ground, C# could have been the language of choice in many ways if and only if Mono would have delivered. More to it with the Mobile Linux rising I a .NET based framework (Like Android only

The .NET is better then the JVM because it was designed to run on windows only, so no run anywhere stuff needed to be designed. I was doing Win32 development for 5 years and concluded the .NET development is the best way to go (Only if you

I'll try throw something in the mix, there is a matter of fashion. Back in the 90's C++ win32/MFC development was the highly regraded, I guess I should note that VB6.0 was very in demand as well, The technology and the market trends have ch

Developing Symbian code is a challenge, Symbian developers are hard to find on great demand (if you want a pay rise you may consider dive into it :-) ) It was the best until a few years ago, but now the competition had caught up with it. RI

I agree, S60 isn't easy to develop, while Android is as sweet as sweet can be for developers.

Couldn't agree more, I still don't trust them, Android forced them to change, it wasn't of good will, or even consumer pressure. Apple will still try to keep control over their products as a company policy

Android found a great balance between a virtual environment and a good API. It pretty much covers everything a developer needs. What's more the SDK is also great, I tried to run the latest S60 SDK (Nokia) and after 2 weeks gave up, MS is gr

S60 is a platform, Symbian is an OS And you're right about the development, its hell!!!! I just want to add, the J60 isn't as good as the Android's Java environment (not even close), and it carries the penalty of the J2ME slogan write once
