A Symbian Signed passará a ser administrada pela Nokia, isto significa que o famoso serviço de assinatura de softwares para o famoso sistema operacional Symbian sofrerá mudanças. Ainda não é possível saber se serão mudanças positivas ou não, mas algo está acontecendo. Já estava na hora de uma mudança.
Com o crescimento do Android e iOS no “market share” a Nokia está sofrendo uma grande ameaça. É fato que o modelo de negócios adotado pela OVI Store está longe de poder competir com o Android Market e a Apple Store. Ambos contam com uma infinidade de programas de fácil instalação (para o usuário final) e publicação (para os desenvolvedores).
Os serviços de assinatura Symbian Signed está para ser migrado para a administração da Nokia Corporation.
Com a transição a Symbian Foundation passa de uma organização sem fins lucrativos para uma entidade de licenciamento,
o que significa que haverá mudanças nos termos e condiçoes do serviço Symbian Signed.
É com o texto acima (tradução livre) que a Symbian Signed inicia seu comunicado de mudanças, o qual transcrevo na íntegra abaixo.
