Has Symbian thought open source through?
,----[ Quote ]
| Either way, it seems clear that there's a bit of a disconnect within
| Symbian's organisation. Management may have decided it would be a good idea
| to go open source, but the way the company works lower down will make this a
| more-than-tricky task. The engineer demonstrating the work with Scalado
| didn't have the foggiest as to how current work and the open source policy
| will merge. Neither do I.

Since Symbian has just attacked Linux with words, it's validated that Linux is
their biggest fear and therefore the future.

,----[ Quote ]
| With a 47.9 percent stake in Symbian, the leading mobile platform that it
| co-founded in 1998 and which today powers some 206 million mobile phones,
| Nokia has long championed it at the expense of rival platforms such as Linux.

| No longer.

| The mobile-phone maker is increasingly selecting Linux for Internet-enabled
| mobile devices, with its CFO declaring of Linux, "It's going to be terribly
| important."
