Today’s announcements about Nokia buying remaining shares in Symbian and the creation of an open Symbian foundation, reported in various places, including Pocket Lint and TechCrunch It will include Symbian, S60, UIQ, MOAP(S).
According to the whitepaper released by the new foundation, it will have backwards compatibility to Symbian OS 9 and S60 3rd edition and will support environments including Symbian C++, POSIX C (whatever that is), C++, Python and Web. It also claims that it will provide integration for other environments including Java, FlashLite and Microsoft Silverlight.
Be interesting to see what happens over next year alongside Android development from the Open Handset Alliance. So what does this mean? Ajit’s post last year, about open source and open standards explains some of the issues including licensing and interoperability.

3 blog posts in 24 hours, must be twitter withdrawal, I wonder if there’s patches…
No more emotional ranting here I think. What a difference a few days, a few contacts with a few people can make !
Also I joined this community yesterday - if ever needed an example of how technology can enable conversation around very ‘difficult issues’… I have a lot to understand about these issues and its nice to find somewhere away from BBC or Al-Jazeera too.
