Oh, I get it - rather than build a rocket to go into space they built a capsule that bolts onto the space shuttle roof rack - brilliant!

Because it is running in Nokia's stupid, sucky mobile browser which intercepts key press events to drive the cursor (because there is no mouse to do it) so web apps running in it can't run off cursor key events.

This is just going to fragment the market further and make it harder for developers to create mobile apps.

Symbian has been a very open platform, in fact in the previous version developers could get to anywhere int the file system, any server or app, whatever. It is a powerful and flexible system. Recently they have had to introduce stringent security measures because hackers were taking an interest and people started to get viruses hopping between devices via IP and bluetooth.

Android is going to face all the same issues so for the next couple of years we can watch it be disfunctional, inflexible and insecure until it catches up to the level that Symbian is now - not sure what the point of all that would be.

If Google wants better browsing on mobiles why doesn't it just develop a better browser for current mobile OSs? That would be much simpler, quicker and more useful.
