The Symbian open source platform is on course for development this year. They expect a new update of the platform every six months.
The first release of the new software, called Symbian^2, will be "functionally complete" by the middle of 2009 and should be bug-free by the end of the year.
Successive updates will occur every six months into 2011.
Symbian developers will start by unifying development behind the S60
user interface, relieving Symbian developers from having to choose
between three distinct user interfaces.
They are under a lot pressure because the Palm webOS is gaining momentum for all its Synergy features.
