Android, Symbian Expected To Become One OS

,----[ Quote ]
| Nokia-owned Symbian and Google-created Android are destined to be combined to 
| provide a single open source operating system for smartphones, an analyst 
| firm said Thursday.  
| 
| The merger of the two operating systems will begin within three to six 
| months, driven mostly by the fact that Nokia and Google are pursuing similar 
| open source strategies with their respective technology, J. Gold Associates 
| said in a research note.

It makes little sense. Everything they do is separate, from UI to kernel. Maybe
they can work on cross-platform compatibility, though.

Symbian hints at Google truce for unified platform

,----[ Quote ]
| A single software platform spanning all smartphones would open the floodgates 
| to a vast number of applications for business and consumers. If it integrated 
| with the PC platform so much the better, allowing developers large and small 
| to create software once for millions, eventually billions, of devices. The 
| quest for the unified platform has dominated handset news for a couple of 
| years, and now there are signs that the two more powerful candidates left 
| standing – Symbian and Android – could come together. Google aims to control 
| a future unified mobile software architecture by harnessing the interest in 
| Linux and open source, to create its as-yet uncommercialized Android system. 
| It suffered a severe setback when Nokia took control of the Symbian operating 
| system, the most widely installed on high end phones, and put it into an open 
| source Foundation.

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."
