Nokia Buys Symbian OS an makes it open source
June 27, 2008
This is pretty interesting news. In the mobile “smart” phone OS race you have a few biggies and Symbian is probably one of the more mature platforms with all sorts of support. With Google’s Android and OpenMoco out there now and Symbian just now becoming open source it can really give Apple a run for their money with the iPhone. I think this is good news for us, more comptetition in the handset OS biz means more standard features like Java, Flash, and other multi media support.
