I am sorry to announce that there will be no further development of Screenshot for Symbian OS. The last versions can still be found here:

The full source code is still available at SourceForge.net:

What is the reason behind my decision? It is because Symbian Signed for Freeware is more or less dead now. There is no official statement from Symbian yet, but my last freeware application has been stuck there for more than 3 months. I have sent emails to some Symbian persons who might be able to help; but got no response.

Here is a response from R.H. (initial of a person who works for Symbian) on July 3, 2007.

Hi Zishan,
Could you please let Antony know the state of his application?
Regards,
The Symbian Signed Team
EMail: symbiansigned@symbian.com
www.symbiansigned.com
*** NOTE : When responding please ‘reply with history’ to ensure your responses are handled in a timely manner. ***

I got no further follow-up from him or Zishan. For your information, Zishan was the person from CellMania who used to do signing. I have sent email to him several times as well, but got not a single reply.

Here is another response from H.W. (another Symbian guy) on July 22, 2007.

Hi Antony
FYI SymbianSigned let me know that their looking into this on Friday … I haven’t heard back from them yet though.
Regards

Did I try different channel to get my application signed? Yes, indeed. As a Forum Nokia Champion, there was an offer for signing from Forum Nokia.

I have sent my application to the email address given above on July 4, 2007. Unfortunately, I don’t get any reply either after 1 month.

I have also tried to raise the issue about Symbian Signed for Freeware to many discussion boards and blogs. Here are some of them:
