Forum Nokia is seeking to democratise its S40 and S60 developer community.
The developer relations arm of the Finnish handset giant has lifted the lid on Lauchpad, a new low-cost alternative to its elite Pro membership.The scheme has been designed to provide developers with access to Nokia technologies comparable to that enjoyed by Forum Nokia PRO members, but at a significantly lower cost of 800 euros.
Benefits include early access to technical info, including APIs, SDKs and technology roadmaps; free Carbide Developer Edition (Symbian OS) developer tool software, with a 50 per cent discount on additional Carbide Developer Edition copies; discounted mobile device purchase program; discounted technical support case ticket; discounted application signing (Symbian Signed); discounted S60 book offers and certification exams; and publication of the company profile on the LaunchPad website and application catalog.
