Nokia closes reception of new Symbian and MeeGo-applications in Nokia Store
Today, Nokia’s developer mailing list warned that after three months, starting January 1, 2014, the ability to download new applications for Symbian and MeeGo to the Nokia Store will be discontinued.
In June 2011, Nokia signed a contract for outsourcing support for the Symbian operating system with the consulting company Accenture - moreover, support was to be provided until 2016; for the same purpose, about 2,300 developers from a number of countries have moved from Nokia to Accenture. Now, according to the source, the company will have to deal not with the development, but mainly with warranty support and repair of devices that are in the hands of their owners.
If you try to evaluate how many people are concerned with the fact that they will not be able to get any new applications or updates via the Nokia Store, then, according to Stat Counter statistics for September 2013, you can see that their number exceeds the number of owners of Windows Phone and BlackBerry together taken - the share of Symbian is 6.3%.

At the same time, a particularly remarkable fact is that the usual Nokia-phones on the S40 platform are still third in the global standings with a share of just over 14%.
