Why can replace Symbian Android

From the current development situation on the market point of view instead of Symbian Android is just a matter of time, while Nokia's Meego think Android could be very difficult to catch up to the situation look Android123 developers to help clear the psychological barriers separate ways.
1. Symbian's market share more and more unhappy and the company's operating strategy of a great relationship, the maximum may not be ready for the sake of developers, after all, used in development of Symbian's software is slightly more advanced functions need to be signed, Symbian's signature mechanism is a software for each release must be signed by the official protection until, that is the only UID, at the same time to obtain a high privilege. Symbian's signature needs to get up early 200 dollars, for developers, released a software requires 200 dollars, how expensive ah, but also need to go through the rigorous certification SymbianSign, periodic long, very difficult to apply for individual developers, but only a one-time payment of Android clear $ 25 to be life-long use, Apple App Store and Microsoft Windows phone marketplace is only $ 99 annual fee, so Symbian's death is difficult because the developer to bear on, especially the Chinese developers.
2. Symbian older structure, when the device RAM is limited, support for graphics coding is also very limited, was born in the SVG is not only packed with multiple bitmap files generated MBM, the overall code structure and the Win32, MFC fact, almost , contains the MVC's view framework, but still too old, and even create a thread is a luxury, for now use the Java language, object does not deadlock coordination activities are troublesome for the average developer.
3. Symbian's death is also inseparable from the imperfect debugging method, Symbian emulator is a little decoration, function is very limited, wireless, positioning and so can not test, but worse is the real machine's on-line testing, many companies may the easy way to upload directly to the Bluetooth adapter installation.
Of course Android123 say is that these very important for the developers, the factors that, Nokia has not, but just playing the game shed its shell, like a lot of people say that even if the Symbian dual-core CPU with 1G of RAM and may be from a cost point of view almost see little help, but the developers of the software development problems led to the game scarce, and gradually been eliminated. Early to see Apple use such as Nokia capacitive screen, he is still considering the cost of resistance from the screen, such as 5800, N97 devices such tragedies, while Nokia microUSB or older do not support the charge port data lines, and so on are to the development of other platforms were very angry, after all, has been tested simultaneously, the power consumption is also very obvious. Nokia Symbian their own development has also led to a potential danger, of course, Android Developer Network's the most important conclusions, or the first to Symbian and other brands did not always go as too dark.
Look Meego, according to the current Linux kernel can see the advantages in efficiency will not be too different co Android, the use of Qt development, can make use of the advantages of the local language so that the response speed of the user experience advantage over Android, but Similarly, Nokia, after the acquisition of Qt, Qt GUI on Linux is no longer or more cross-platform runtime the, Qt development efficiency as Java, a relatively compromise but a good imitation, as well as Samsung's Bada, almost Meego same structure, but the CPU, RAM, DRAM, panels, camera, etc. Samsung has its own production, also has developed, it seems that Nokia's backwardness was evident in almost every respect.
Ironically, Nokia acquired what seems to have developed what is almost dead, but slowly, probably too early to say now, but look really worrying ah. Generated by hardware manufacturers as, Nokia in China do not know how long it will flicker, but it is really low price S60 smart machine will be able to experience and high degree of stability, this is food for thought for other software vendors, mobile phone reliability.
