Symbian Signs on Samsung

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the excuse-for-alliteration dept.

mmol_6453 writes "In a move that beat Orange's showing off the first Microsoft-based smartphone by a day, Symbian has signed on Samsung. Quoth the article: 'Symbian now licenses its smartphone software to all five top mobile makers, and its OS has beaten both Palm and Microsoft in the European handheld device market'"

      Sign up with a real e-mail address (i.e. a for-pay one, like one with your ISP) and MyRealBox will let you in. It's a good service, and to keep it that way, they want to be able to hunt you down if you break their rules.

  10. why slashdot needs trolls (clip n' save!) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    To the casual observer, it might seem as though Slashdot trolls are merely disruptive and immature, but that is certainly an oversimplied description. In reality, the trolls play a complex part in the Slashdot community, and discussions just wouldn't work as well if it weren't for these little fighters.

    Because moderators are groupthinking uberliberal sheep, they tend to ensure homogeneity (and homosexuality) on the threads. This is especially unfortunate, especially since every once in a while the topic of discussion is insanely insignificant to the point that pointing out the scale of insignificance is a public service...

    howcum the word "on" has 2 letters but the word "off" has 3? You would think that "on" would have more letters because usually having something on is more betterer than when it's off

    Am I the only one who thinks the obligatory vibrator-jokes, that pops up with every mention of Symbian Smartphones on Slashdot, are starting to get old..?
