Feel ''App neglected''?

Isn't it a weird feeling that even-though you are part of the biggest smartphone market share you are neglected by app developpers? Symbian users must have this feeling everytime a big developer makes a new app announcement. If its engaget.com which releases a new mobile app or ulitmate-guitar.com which created a mobile guitar tab it always ends the same, Symbian users get forgotten.



Why are Symbian users neglected? According to a Symbian employee this is the reason for active neglect:
I'm sure lots of people will have this question as well. My personal opinion (and not necessarily of my employers) is that the tech media is US centric and Symbian does not have high market share there. UK media for example will often run stories on Symbian devices, and market share is much, much higher here.
 So what is there to do? Will the tides change? There seems to be an option which is worth mentioning: Mosync.

Back in 2004, when MoSync was founded, the mobile landscape was very different. There were far fewer platforms to code for. The idea of downloading a new application for your phone was almost unheard of. Yet even back then, creating a single environment for cross-platform mobile application development was a promising idea.
Today it is much more than that. Now there are many different mobile platforms. No one who understands the way the mobile industry is heading questions the need for a true cross-platform development solution.

Lets all hope developers will adopt Mosync and let symbian users join in all the App fun!
