When someone can show me a long list of CDC Symbian signed products, I\'ll change my mind. I dont buy it, think its a rip-off. Why have verisign twice, anyone with a serios product will put it on a certified site to begin with, if its a vendor, well they have a brand name to protect, which PC shop is going to stock viruses. What about a simple warning, this application has not been signed, do you really want to proceed? User says yes because her boyfriend wrote the application, and is in a much better position to judge character than verisign, dont you think. No, the absolute gate keeping model leads me to believe its an absolute rip-off. Good-bye Java on the cell phone, solutions are all going to be delivered via browser. Very very short sighted... I think. We have a product that we were thinking of CDC enabling, I think its going to be a waste of effort and time.
