Nokia offers open source code for Symbian

Nokia has decided to release the source code for the latest version of its Symbian ^ 3 operating system. Finnish company took delivery of the code of the Symbian Foundation. As you know, the company was founded in 2008, on the strategy for development, which would help the platform for its cruel way Word OSS pave where Android and iOS to compete.

Symbian Foundation was just the licensing unit at the end of last year when she developed strategies began to unravel and Symbian went deep. So Nokia took this step, so that other developers to support the platform is more popular, and if you do not have the situation, Symbian does not need to be presented, I think the right decision?. It can be.

So we can assume also teamed up with us will be true in the near future, because Nokia not with the transaction with Google is going, and now there are no platforms available on the market. And now we have every reason to think the transaction between the Microsoft and Nokia, which began in February, will have a happy ending. Well, unfortunately, the beginning of happy!

But there is one thing. Nokia announced that it is going to launch 150 million Smartphones running the Symbian OS in the next few years. And if they will be equipped with Symbian ^ 3 version, I think at that moment, Android will offer more functional versions of the platform and I'm not sure, will be able to compete with such functions.
