As I comment in the Future Improments paragraph I now prefer to use XMLHttpRequest plus a flexible server/proxy in front of my apps. If you can invest in one, it will make any advanced use of HTTP way easier to implement and deploy.

Symbian is the COBOL of the mobile development world. No sane developer would ever want to touch it, but it is good money thanks to the large installed userbase. Established developers have experience on it and can return a profit from the mind blowing efforts required to become proficient on its arcane, obsolete API mess. But everybody else is going to stay away as much as they can and will readily embrace other platforms even if they are small and potentially less profitable. The Big Binary Breakage of S60ed3 and its initial "developers as criminals" code signing policy didn't help much either.

I find that nowadays developing for Symbian is a business/marketing/managing decision, not an engineering one. If you lose the developers the rest will follow sooner or later.

Rocks! Like Firebug but for your model/logic/view. I wish more frameworks had it.
