  1. Symbian has 49.5% ww smartphone market share on Symbian Foundation Takes First Step In Open Sourcing Mobile OS · · Score: 4, Informative

    For developers looking to make money, and use a very rich set of APIs/functionality, Symbian is the way to go. Gartner recently announced that Symbian has 49.5% of ww smart phone market share (300m+ devices). The distribution channel potential is there for developers to take advantage of now - not some unknown time in the future. Note that Symbian also has Runtime dev environments for Web, Python, and Adobe Flash Lite - who else has that?

  2. Context and Relvancy on Finding New Code · · Score: 1

    For those who have not yet used Krugle, check out a posting by Justin Royce a while back - his review is fairly complete. (http://webtekconcepts.com/2006/11/30/krugle-goes- grassroots/) Search engines ultimately are judged on the accuracy and relevancy of their results. Krugle parses the code to understand the context. The relevancy is based on whether the result is in a function call or class def vs comments etc, and Krugle leverages project meta data such as number of committers and frequency of project updates to accurately prioritize search results.
