Symbian released a new version of the Symbian^3 reference library for product developers. Here’s what they say about it:

The library will look quite familiar in places, since it is based on content published previously on the Symbian developer website. However, the last release was back in October 2009. Since then, Nokia have been hard at work converting the content to a standard format (more of that in a future blog post), contributing it to us under EPL and providing an open source tool chain to allow us to combine the content with API reference built from doxygen comments in code. The resulting fruits of their labours is the library you see today, which has also had significant input from Symbian’s web development and delivery teams.

The library has more content available when compared with the previous version, and a number of bugs have been fixed. Some bugs still exist though, and they are documented on this wiki page. If you find some new bug, you’re free to report it and make sure it’s fixed in the next release.

You can download the new Symbian^3 reference library from here.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
