liked the article! But we need an update of this article for the new Symbian 3 handsets launched by nokia this summer, the C3, C5, C6, E5, E6, E7 and N8 running Symbian 3 OS. Some of these phones can interact with windows (outlook, office, exchange) and cross-platform apps would be a real hit. Unfortunately the OVI store doesn’t have a lot of utilities or social apps for this platform yet….
