Recently, Symbian Association announced that it has completed ahead of the source code for Symbian platform, open-source release, which means that Symbian source code available to third-party developers and developers free of charge.

At present, the world’s Symbian platform for smart phones has more than 330 million total, but as in recent years, Google Android, Apple Mac massive invasion and occupation of smart phone operating platform market, Sym bian market share is constantly being eroded.Gartner report said that two years will greatly increase the share of Android, a direct threat to the status of Sym bian, therefore, speed up the open-source work, as Nokia has been the industry’s first high-profile counter-attack, Sym bian is not just behind the cell phone platform, Nokia is still very the possibility of adopting Symbian reverse “invasion” of tablet PCs, Duihan IPAD.

Ahead of open-source? Active or passive

The third quarter of 2009, statistics show, Symbian in the smart platform, accounted for 45% of market share is still the absolute leader, the situation with the previous years, more than 6 percent of market share compared to already shrunk 1 / 4.

At present, Apple with iPhone (mobile Internet) a mobile phone, has occupied the global operating system market to more than 17.1% of the share, Google Android Although only 4%, but as a new system, and 1% compared with a year ago, is already an increase of four times, coupled with support for the system, increasing the number of terminal vendors, their share is expected to further growth in 2010 to about 10%. Coupled with BlackBerry has been occupied by 20%, Sym bian’s leadership position is no doubt began to become “precarious.”

Under the signs, Symbian had to change. But in the end is to select an open line of all Google, or Apple’s full-closed route? Nokia Symbian behind the final choice the former.

To spend 410 million U.S. dollars in the shares of Symbian carried out in full after the acquisition, Nokia had announced in 2010 free of charge on the Symbian open-source projects.

“Right now contains the Symbian platform, open-source code for all 108 modules already available from Symbian developer site to download.” LeeWilliams executive director of the Association, according to Symbian introduced a new escalation of Symbian platform for the future versions will be completely free of charge for developers to open source, this The new version, called Symbian3 platform will become the first quarter of this year, with “perfect function” platform, which undoubtedly is another Android, a more mature Android.

Backfire on Apple, Google? From the phone into the computer

“In the next one to two years, using Symbian operating system, Tablet PC, or the Internet appeared on the market this is very possible.” LeeW illiam s says. In fact Nokia’s Symbian operating system are already under way will be applied to already available hardware platforms, at present, this system has been in the Intel Atom platform to run. Previously, Nokia has unveiled the Internet in this Book-let3 G, however, it is a use of WindowsMobile7 products.

For the mobile Internet will be the transformation of Nokia, will extend to mobile phones outside the Symbian system, such as computers, MID, Internet access to this and other terminals, seems to be sooner or later only. With the open source Symbian, Nokia does not require hands-on, a large number based on the system seek to develop space and the profit margins of the third-party developers will be glad to do so.

Symbian speed behind the cross-platform strategy

“The future of smart phones will only be mobile Internet device is an integral part of the Internet in this, MID and even the emerging e-book reader will support mobile Internet platform for the emergence of intelligent features.” Warring States, senior analyst Yang Qun that in the past Different companies focus on different market, with the 3C become increasingly blurred boundaries, many products produced interconnection between the demand, and the interconnection of different brands on the hardship.

“Nokia, Google and Apple want to do is to solve this problem, but only in their own system to resolve.” He added, the same operating system, the unified cross-platform, it will become an international giants are focal points of contention.

At present, because the root concept of the Internet free of charge, the momentum of rapid development of Google Android. It has been handset manufacturers, Internet of the manufacturers, Tablet PC manufacturers and even the use of e-book vendors.

Although Apple’s MACOS closed system, but by virtue of the company’s own brand of power has begun to expand multi-platform technology. IPad on the recently released yet another proof of this — Apple does have single-handedly, to break down a variety of platforms.

The open-source Symbian speed, using it already has many users and developers will no doubt push the high point of competition. It is noteworthy that Nokia may already be open source as a direction to enter the Internet. Not long ago, Nokia has just announced that its maps for free, but also an expression of open source.

The United Kingdom London Business School’s annual statistical report released Thursday showed that global communications technology in the latest comprehensive utilization rate (such as telecommunications networks, cell phones and computers, etc.) list, Sweden has surpassed the United States, the world’s largest.

The report, “Connectivity Scorecard” (Connectivity Scorecard) the assessment report by the London Business School professor莱纳德维夫曼(Leonard Waverman) was founded in 2008. The report published once a year, and through dozens of indicators in 50 countries on the global use of communications technology to be assessed, including technical skills and communication technology usage were measured.

Weifu Man have said: “Sweden is not only an overall target the majority, the individual indicator scores also high. By contrast, the education and technical indicators, for example, once the United States ahead of other countries, but there are beginning to emerge some gaps. “

In Weifu Man released over last year’s report, Sweden ranked second, only in the U.S..Norway’s ranking from last year’s fifth this year, rose to third. The report by the telecom equipment maker Nokia Siemens (Noci) commissioned the investigation, the corresponding statistics have been a number of countries in the formulation of policy communications industry into consideration.

Weifu Man said: “Economic recovery is intended to enhance the broadband deployment of government stimulus plan, as well as information and communication technology, both for the global communications industry in the coming few years have brought positive momentum for development.”

Statistics in the report of the 25 developed countries, Italy, Spain, Greece and Poland and other Eastern European and southern European countries among the list this year, the last few.
