Symbian Foundation: Smartphone OS Gratisan

After experiencing a lot of development, which is a Symbian OS Smartphone and the total assets have been purchased by Nokia will be a group called the Symbian Foundation. This group will be used as a bridge to make the open source mobile platform.

Many reasons for the Nokia Symbian Symbian Foundation to be one of the reasons is merging several different versions of Symbian OS, is currently circulating a Symbian smartphone with a different interface but has the same function, some examples are:


* Symbian UIQ is often used by Sony Ericsson (P990, M600, W950, etc), Motorola (MOTORIZR Z8, MOTORIZR Z10: UIQ 3.1 - Symbian OS v9.2) and also Nokia (Nokia 6708), UIQ interface has a touch screen without keypad to operate the mobile phone.

* Symbian Series 60 or who is often referred to as the S60 is used to only use the keypad for the operation and now has a touch screen interface (S60 touch 3rd edition), which is similar to UIQ.

* Symbian MOAP (Mobile Oriented Applications Platform), which until now is still only available for the Symbian smartphone market in Japan only, one example is the Mitsubishi D800iDS have a dual screen operation similar to the Nintendo DS screen that is 2 and only the bottom of the screen that has a the touch screen.



Nokia expects the making of the Symbian Foundation will have a lot of mobile phone companies to use Symbian OS, the Symbian Foundation will give a free OS Smartphone cuma alias free, and Nokia also want to be the CP (Content Provider) to make more Symbian applications.
