It’s no surprise that the Symbian Foundation are keen to meet iPhone developers. No surprise at all.
The big problem is for iPhone Developers who want to meet and find out more about the Symbian Foundation. The website just isn’t good enough yet. You can’t watch a 3 minute video on their website and deliver a ‘hello world’ application that you can run on your Nokia handset 30 seconds later. Indeed, the first flippin’ problem that most developers run into is that they don’t have an $800 Nokia handset in the first place.
Despite this, the Symbian Foundation is reaching out.
Check out this poster that Jeff Lamarche snapped this morning nearby the Moscone Centre (where the Apple keynote and conference takes place today).
“Bring your laptop and join us for a Symbian Hackathon,” reads the headline.
You get coffee between 7am-12pm.
The hackathon begins between 1-4pm — which includes lunch, prizes AND everyone gets a FREE Nokia 5800.
And from 5-7pm, there’s free drinks, food — plus you can win a Wii if you’re any good at pool.
Now this is different. Very impressive. I’m delighted to see the Symbian Foundation reaching out.
If you’re a developer, definitely go and take a look.
I will be there with the camera too.
(Thanks to iPhone Developer Ed Lea for alerting me to Jeff’s pic).

You don't have to send anything like that to get an unlocked (no carrier limitations) S60 phone, a quick look at www.nokiausa.com shows the E63 at $229 and the 5800 (with iPhone beating specs) at $339 and this isn't the cheapest place to buy either.

Jim, I was talking about the N97 -- which is $799 via Google's Shopping Search -- but you can get some good deals if you hunt around.

This is the changing face of the marketplace.
