Free applications, free Symbian Signing
By Dusan Belic on Saturday, June 24th, 2006 at 3:05 am PST In Applications, Developer, LBS, Symbian
With Symbian platform security introduced in S60 3rd Edition devices, an important path has been opened for freeware applications that require certification. Although most functions are open and certain capabilities can be granted by the user at the time of the application’s installation, other capabilities can’t be granted by the user; these require certification of the software.
Symbian and Cellmania announced new support for freeware applications, allowing them to be Symbian Signed for the first time. Symbian will be introducing a mechanism for applications to be tested and Symbian Signed if they successfully pass the standard test criteria. The scheme will be sponsored by Symbian and its major licensees. Cellmania, who is also a sponsor, tests and certifies the applications at no cost to developers and makes the applications available in its catalog. Freeware developers can place the applications in their preferred distribution channels.
For more information Forum Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has prepared an Acrobat document - Signing Tips. Also, visit SymbianSigned’s page which deals with freeware applications.

I like the initiative of giving free Symbian signing for freeware applications. Without this program, freeware would have been dead. I have only once complaint from this program, i.e. the time needed to sign an application (it takes about 2-3 weeks). IMHO, it is too long.
