Motorola, Sony Ericsson to share Symbian UI company
,----[ Quote ]
| The investment in UIQ could signal that Motorola plans to release more
| Symbian phones, Purdy said. The announcement could also mean that Motorola
| hopes to influence the development of UIQ such that the software could become
| compatible with other operating systems like Linux, he said.

| Motorola is better known for its Linux phones than its Symbian handsets. In
| fact, in 2003 Motorola sold its stake in Symbian, a decision that many in the
| industry interpreted as a move away from the operating system.

| Linux will help to further expand the community of developers for software,
| which is becoming an increasingly important part of mobile phones, said
| Christy Wyatt, vice president of ecosystem and market development at
| Motorola. The company has shipped about 9 million Linux handsets in the past
| four years and is now extending the OS down from smartphones to midrange
| handsets such as the Razr2.
