@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

Zuerst hat Microsoft entschieden, dass das wunderbare Betriebssystem #Symbian zugunsten des minderwertigen Windows Mobile einzustellen sei. Stephen Elop, der ehemalige Präsident der Geschäftskundenabteilung von Microsoft, war damals CEO von #Nokia geworden, hat das umgesetzt und Nokias dadurch wertlos gewordene Handysparte an #Microsoft verkauft. Die Konsumenten, die gerne weiterhin Symbian genutzt hätten, hatten gar keine Wahl.

The stuff I have in my drawers of geekery.

I used Symbian OS for years. It was a fantastic operating system which Nokia used a version of.

Me? Why I had a Psion Series 5 then a Nokia communicator. Until recently I used the series 5 as a clean and distraction free word processor. The keyboard is the best pocket keyboard ever made.

So Ink321 was able to run this game after all. As it turned out, the game uses not only the standard camera driver, but also a unique one from SX1. Mosquito animation is tied to the frame update rate from the camera. After fixing the drivers, the game's FPS went crazy)), on the emulator, if you set the FPS to maximum, it becomes bearable) Now it works on N-GAGE, although there are no camera drivers at all))😅
#Siemens #Symbian #NGage #retrogaming #EKA2L1

Virtually Board Snowboarding for #Symbian s80 has finally been found! This is another thing that indirectly, but confirms that prototype of second part for #NGage may actually exist. By the way, developer of game is Springtoys Ink. And game is not written on x-forge. Info provided by Ink321.
