When I laid out the invites for mobile media personalities I wanted to invite to write MWC preview posts for us, Rafe Blandford from All About Symbian was at the top of my list. Not because he's a great friend of mine, but because this is such an interesting time for the Symbian/Nokia world and I knew that Rafe -- as always -- would have some great insight to share. Needless to say, he didn't disappoint!
WIP: Hi, tell us a little bit about yourself and your site.
RB: I'm Rafe Blandford, I'm the founder and editor of All About Symbian and All About MeeGo. These are sites which provide news and analysis to a consumer and developer audience about the respective mobile platforms. In practise this means closely following what Nokia is doing in the mobile industry. While do aim to be as comprehensive as possible, our primary concern is to provide well informed and high quality content.
WIP: What are the big stories you'll be watching for this year at MWC?
I always follow the...

"Who has time to read this newsletter when there's so much to do before Mobile World Congress? "
And you might even utter:

And a rack of tee shirts to line up! "

You will be excused for not knowing what the Eclipse mobile Pluginfest is and that it happened in the first place... But you will not be excused next time for having missed this historical moment of mobile development tool's history : 2007 the first mobile pluginfest..
Throw yourself back in 2007! I know it's kind of hard so I'll paint a quick portrait of the days, Symbian is the most innovative and widespread mobile OS on the planet, WindRiver and IBM are 2 different companies, J2ME is still an important part of Mobile development (even though the Mobile Tools for Java project is struggling a bit), Doug Gaff was still at WindRiver, Doug Schaefer still at QNX, Christian Kurzke still at Motorola, Lars Kurth and I still at Symbian. The only sign of stability in this world is Ian Skerrett who's still heading marketing at Eclipse Foundation and should be thanked for his efforts to get the pluginfest sparkle back!
Back in 2007 we (as in the team of people named above) realized...

Note: We are making some changes to the WIP App Store Catalog, and the monthly App Store Report, based on feedback from our community members to make it even more useful and accurate. Be sure to stay tuned for the January report to see the changes, and leave any of your thoughts or feedback in the comments below.
In the early days of the app store phenomenon, most attention was focused on the degree to which the stores solve the distribution problem for mobile developers. Gone (supposedly) were the days when simply getting your application out to end users was a major challenge, as app stores made it easy for nearly anybody to make their app available to the masses. This led to another significant challenge, one that’s still a big problem for many developers...

Simon Lucas from Enough Software won a ticket for Nokia's annual developer conference Nokia Developer Summit (Thanks to Nokia!).
As a Thank you note he proposed to share his thoughts about the summit!, and especially on the stream he attended dedicated to Qt development and development in Qt :D
Seat down and go through the content of the 2 days of conference seating comfortably in front of your computer!
Nokia Developer Summit 2010 – Technical Stream 1: Qt SDK
“Nokia is back” was the message Nokia spread at the opening key notes of the Nokia World and Nokia Developer Summit (NDS) 2010 in London. But this statement not only referred to the new devices Nokia introduced to the public in the last couple of months and of course the brand new ones they presented here at the Nokia World. A big deal of this statement also referred to Nokia's new Qt SDK which Nokia branded under a well known credo only put in different words: “Code less, create more, deploy anywhere”.
