Symbian and BREW developers are scarce, not because it's boring or unprofitable
to develop for mobile platforms, but because it costs a fortune to get
development licenses with the software vendors and distribution licenses with
the carriers. If there was a truly open phone, with an SDK that allowed full
network and display access, and users could install and run these apps without
a carrier distribution aggrements, there would be many more mobile developers.
Nothing like building a big wall around yourself, then complaining that nobody
ever comes to visit.
