Smartphone & code signing...

Good question, I'm also looking foward for an answer on this. And complementing your question: if some apps and games being sold are not signed, how do we know for sure when looking at the product description on a site like handango for example?

Not a direct answer but when I was looking at smartphone development on PocketFrog (I have the Motorola MPX200) most everything I came across was unsigned. Also it seemed really easy to get the MPX and Orange devices certificate unlocked.

I think the only ones that are signed are ones that display the "certified by microsoft" logo.

I was told not to worry about signing when I asking the clickgamer guys about it. They said that hardly anyone gets their apps signed. It costs a lot too.

I've had no complaints about my game being unsigned.

Getting an Orange phone unlocked is incredibly simple - you just go to a website, type in the phone number and imei and push enter. Five minutes later, your phone is unlocked, provided you're within reach of a GPRS network.

And Windows 2003 phones from Orange (C500 for now) prompt when installing an unsigned app too.

That's great news. It's exactly what I was wanting to hear. It only makes sense... but anyway we won't go there.

Has any one played with the PhoneIME? More specifically the "Multi-Tap"? Currently I'm able to get multi-tap (triple tap) working to the point where I receive a WM_CHAR when I stop pressing the key. Meaning I tap the #2 key three times and the WM_CHAR will receive a "C". My problem is that I don't know where to look for the characters in-between. Basically, the transition chars "A" and "B" are never sent. I want to be able to display the chars as the user is typing them and not just the "end result". I'm not using an edit box. I'm using a custom control, which is why I need to handle the messages myself, or so it seems.

Any clues?
