Nokia buys out remaining stock in Symbian OS [ 25-06-2008 17:45 ]
It was announced today that Nokia now owns all of the Symbian OS, as they acquired the remaining 52% of it. Not only that, but they have turned it over to the non-profit Symbian Foundation, making the new platform open-source, much like Google's upcoming Android OS. This isn't the first time Nokia has dabbled with the open-source world – their Internet Tablet family run on Linux, and they recently acquired Trolltech, who supplied software development platforms and frameworks. In total, it will cost Nokia around €264 million to buy the remaining shares from Sony Ericsson, Panasonic, Siemens, and Telefonaktiebolaget (Motorola and Sony Ericsson have agreed to contribute UIQ assets) You may see that Samsung hasn't been listed – as they haven't agreed to sell their share as of yet. Just imagine Symbian OS, S60, UIQ and MOAP(S) rolled into one open-source platform, no doubt it will be very hard competition to fend off. The acquisition should be completed by this year's end, and by then, all employees of Symbian will be a part of Nokia.

Nokia's unified OS to ship in two years [ 26-06-2008 12:09 ]
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past day, you'll know that Nokia bought Symbian in its entirety, and handed it over to the non-profit Symbian Foundation. Now, as for when we'll see a device running on the unified open-source Operating System, well, at a press conference, held in London, England, Kai Öistämö, Nokia’s head of devices, stated that the likely time in which a device running the OS will be available, will be sometime in 2010, at the very earliest. As the new OS will be backwards compatible with S60 3rd Edition, developers can continue to create applications for it, as they'll run on the new OS.
