Guest studiosonic Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Interesting. Found this in a previous transcript on pocket pc and smartphone development: Host Guest_MichaelW_MS: Q: Will the code signing in smartphone give a way for carriers to lock out apps not sold by them? Host Guest_MichaelW_MS: A: Let me ask you a question. Would you want your cool new game from JohnDoeGamer.com blocked from being downloaded on your SMPN? Do you think that would be a good user experience? -------------- Host Guest_Ethancr_MS: Q: Will the code signing in smartphone give a way for carriers to lock out apps not sold by them? Host Guest_Ethancr_MS: A: The carriers can theoretically revoke any applications they wish. of course, anti-competitive laws still apply... ------------------- ...hmmmmm. Seems MS think it would be much better if the phone was not locked to non-Orange software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
