What I meant to say is that we have a working Gnapplet for S60 2nd ed. 
But on 3rd ed. APIs have changed and the thing could be rewritten to 
compile on 3rd. ed tools. In that way it could be based on 2nd ed.

The signing is not really an issue. You can always get past that by 
configuring your device's settings, of course that is a nuisance when an 
application is being distributed to hundreds or thousands of users. The 
commercial applications have a real certificate which is based on 
Symbian Certified testing. The certification process is affordable 
nowadays, so if any results were available I'm positive we would be able 
to get it passed.
