Symbian extends collaboration offer to Google, possibly Android

,----[ Quote ]
| "We already work together and so whatever collaboration, if there is an 
| opportunity, we will be happy to collaborate with them," Symbian chief 
| executive Nigel Clifford told reporters in Tokyo. "And that could be on the 
| application level or that could be on the more fundamental operating system 
| level."

Nokia and the battle for open source's soul

,----[ Quote ]
| The Finnish giant had, until now, kept out of the major alliances being 
| formed in the mobile Linux space — the LiMo Foundation and the Google-led 
| Open Handset Alliance (OHA) — because it could afford to. Enjoying 40 percent 
| of the global handset market, and holding the largest stake in the 
| market-leading Symbian platform, Nokia did not have to be quite as reactive 
| as other manufacturers when it came to the open-source revolution. It was, 
| however, inevitable that it would join the revolution and, after a suitable 
| period of observer status, it chose the right time to do so.

Nokia looks beyond Symbian to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| With a 47.9 percent stake in Symbian, the leading mobile platform that it
| co-founded in 1998 and which today powers some 206 million mobile phones,
| Nokia has long championed it at the expense of rival platforms such as Linux.
|
| No longer.
|
| The mobile-phone maker is increasingly selecting Linux for Internet-enabled
| mobile devices, with its CFO declaring of Linux, "It's going to be terribly
| important."
