Nokia Takes Control of Symbian

Posted by simoniker on Monday February 9, 2004 @06:00AM from the symbiosis dept.

jpatokal writes "CNN reports: Nokia has bought out Psion's share of Symbian, pushing its stake in the mobile phone OS to a dominant 63%. This means rivals like Siemens and Samsung may now pretty much be forced to choose between proprietary Nokia or Microsoft technology. Symbian may be the more open of the two, but GPL it ain't - does Linux now have an edge?" We reported on a rumor to this effect late last year.

Yeah, and they can seed Kazaa with video clips of hot young bitches riding on the Sybian N-Gage. Then they might finally sell some of those!
