Symbian is officially 100% Open Source

Well...good news for us and for Nokia ...Symbian is now as of Wednesday 4th, 2010 become 100% Open Source mobile Operating System. No one ever thought this could happen but Nokia spent 400 millions bought out Symbian in early 2009. Symbian is the most popular OS for mobile and is being used and installed on many brands around the world (approx 400 millions handsets worldwide). There is pierce competition between two biggest rivals: iphone and Android. The decision made by Nokia to release Symbian as Open Source is 4 months ahead of the official target.
Cheers and happy programming and hacking on Open Source Symbian from now on.
