“While there are more opportunities than ever for you to unleash your creativity and develop mobile apps, there is a complex landscape of devices, operating systems and app stores to navigate. We’d like to explain why you should spend time, money and effort on developing a Symbian app..”

And so starts the latest engagement campaign under the heading ‘yourapp‘. But why have we done this?

There are a sea of development studios, independent developers and startups out there who have already built successful applications on platforms such as iPhone or Android and are wondering what the next step is for their app. We believe it’s Symbian.

For some of the less technical people out there, such as those in the marketing or biz dev, delving into our developer site for clues can be a daunting task at first, so the logical choice was to create a document that explained the vast array of benefits that Symbian can offer.

As the yourapp page demonstrates, some of the world’s premier application developers have already made the decision to port their app across and have been kind enough to share quotes to demonstrate the benefits each of them has gained from doing so, plus videos of their apps on Symbian as demonstrated below.

For any of you attending SXSW Festival that would like to meet and discuss the possibilities of porting your app, please feel free to mail me at joen at symbian dot org or send me a tweet to @Joe. For those of you who aren’t there, feel free to have a look at the yourapp site here.

Thanks,

Joe
