It's Official - Symbian OS Goes Open-Source
Written by SymbianOne
Thursday, 04 February 2010
Word is out on the news wires tonight regarding Symbian finally making it official that the Symbian OS is now open source
On Wednesday, the foundation overseeing the world's most popular smartphone OS, Symbian, announced that it had made the operating system entirely open source.
By putting Symbian fully in the public domain, the Symbian Foundation is pitting it against Google's Android – and, the organization hopes, setting the stage for a march on the USA.
Symbian is well known across most of the world, but it's mostly a foreign curiosity in the US. AT&T carries one Symbian phone at a time (right now, the Nokia E71x) and there's never been a single Symbian device on either Sprint or Verizon. But that's apparently about to change.
"You will see Symbian-based devices from U.S.-based carriers coming in 2010," said Larry Berkin, Symbian's head of global alliances.
There are currently about 330 million Symbian devices in the world, Berkin said. Five companies – Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Fujitsu and Sharp – are making Symbian phones.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 19, 2010 - Swedish software company MoSync AB has announced today support for Android devices in its cross-platform mobile development SDK.
POIdo, the new advertising platform providing targeted ads using customers' precise location, context and behavior in applications on mobile phones, portable navigation systems and internet site, launched today.
