NEW: Mitac Mio 8380 certification bug


Recommended Posts

We have gathered some technical information regarding the Mio 8380 problem, and it points to a problem in the way Mitac built their Mio 8380 Smartphone platform using the platform builder SDK.

Apparently Mitac misconfigured one parameter that has to do with allowing non-privileged write access to the registry key HKCR (used for file associations). So any CAB file that set keys in HKCR won't install, and any app that tries to create keys (programmatically) under HKCR won't work correctly either unless it is signed with a privileged certificate (and no-one knows how to get those!).

Mitac said they will provide a software patch for existing Mio 8380 on their website before Oct 15th, 2003.

They also said that their new Smartphone 2003 devices do not have the issue.
