Symbian OS is now open and free
The source code for the Symbian platform will now be completely open and free starting today. According to Lee Williams, the company's executive director, Symbian is already the dominant operating system, but now software developers have endless possibilities. He also talked about the advantages of Symbian to Android. “Android sources are open no more than a third. Everything else is closed, ”he said.
Another advantage of Symbian is that developers will regularly publish a platform development plan, said Lee Williams.
The Symbian Discovery Initiative started in June 2008, when Nokia announced that it would buy the rest of the code from other companies and transfer the OS under the control of the Symbian Foundation. Currently, there are more than 330 million Symbian phones in the world. Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Fujitsu and Sharp are engaged in their release.
