Whats "Logo Certification" surely thats different to the Software Cert :?:

[Guest Hax]

Yep - logo certification means that your software is approved by MS, not that it is certified and parroved as "safe" by Orange or the application certification houses.

So, unfortunately, it's not the Holy Grail that all the softies have been searching for :)

HTH,

Hax

[Guest yatpeak]

Sorry, I don't understand, what do you gain out of MS approving it?

Thanks,

Wyatt

[Guest flashfodder]

Very true..

Isn't Orange the certification hurdle you have to cross?

[Guest benjymous]

Sorry, I don't understand, what do you gain out of MS approving it?

Thanks,

Wyatt

It means you're allowed to put the "designed for microsoft smartphone" logo on your packaging and marketing material

I.e. no gain whatsoever if you've giving stuff away for free

[Guest yatpeak]

I see, thanks,

I have the signing requirements lieing around somewhere i think, some very strange conditions one of which is "must not have an exit option".

Either way, as has been pointed out app signing isnt the problem, its getting the applications signed we want a solution to :)

[Guest yatpeak]

That reminds me, have you heard back from Baltimore yet? They certainly seem to be taking their time.
