Developing an app with Camera Access and GPS

Question

I need to develop a symbian application in which the app is triggered while taking a photo and upload to a web location with the GPS location of the phone. I would like to know which all devices can support this and is there any API restrictions or licence required to do this.

Answer 1

Sorry for the relevant plug but what you are looking for is basically 3 chapters (Networking, Multimedia and Location Based Services) of the Quick Recipes on Symbian OS book.

Since your application will use Networking APIs (and therefore cost the application user money), you will have to go through the Symbian Signed process.

As far as how many Symbian-powered phones contain both a camera and a GPS, I am afraid you are going to need to look at the invidual handset manufacturers websites to come up with an exhaustive list. Outside Japan, they are Nokia, Sony-Ericsson and Samsung.

Answer 2

Here is a list of Nokia models and their info

Here is a list of capabilities and what signing method they need
