[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] The Quiet Response

[DrDon]

I have found the same to be true of manufacturers. As an audio developer
for games, it's amazing how difficult it is to get basic information on
handset audio capabilities. Nokia is pretty good at disseminating
pertinent info but we've had a heck of a time trying to learn pretty
basic stuff from the other manufacturers. We've created audio for most
game platforms, and have never run into as much difficulty with any of
them.
