Samsung announces I7110 based on Symbian OS
October 21, 2008
Samsung have announced the i7110 (there is also an additional press release on symbian.com). It’s a very stylish looking S60 3.2 (which is built on Symbian OS 9.3) candybar.
Here are some of the highlights from the spec sheet:
- OLED QVGA screen
- 5MP camera (with face-detection & VGA video recording)
- Optical mouse (just like on the Innov8 - very cool for web-browsing)
- FM transmitter (useful for music playback on car stereos)
- 12.9mm thickness
Of course it has all the usual trimmings you’d expect from a contemporary Symbian OS phone: GPS, FM radio, accelerometer, Webkit-based S60 browser, HSDPA, audio/video playback, etc. etc.
How to: Symbian Sign Applications using Open Signed (need publisher ID)
March 4, 2008
As of now, you need a Published ID to do this.
The people at Symbian Signed has worked hard to provide us, the users, an easy way of signing our applications without using additional applications or paying Publisher ID’s. The whole process is now handled directly from the Symbian Signed webpage and all you need is a working e-mail adress. The service is still in beta and is somewhat limited which is also why I myself have not had a chance to try it out yet so consider this post a beta aswell for now (but I will of course, and I’ll update this post when I have).
Many cudos to all the people and Symbian Signed who made this a reality!
The main features of this signing option are:
- the process is online
- no Publisher ID is required
- no Symbian Signed account is required
- no tool downloads are required, so it is platform independent
- all user and most system capabilities may be requested (excludes the Restricted System Capabilities CommDD, DiskAdmin, NetworkControl, MultimediaDD and Device Manufacturer capabilities)
- applications are restricted to one device, specified by IMEI
- there is no cost to developers.
So you want to sign an unsigned freeware or shareware application/game? No problem, it should be easy, keep reading after the break and I’ll guide you all the way.
