From Washingtonpost :
Nokia announced this morning that it will pay $410 million to buy the remaining shares of Symbian that it did not already own and then turn the assets into a foundation that provides open-source software to developers.
In terms of Flash Lite
– Technology integration: This sounds like a pretty inclusive policy. The foundation will provide the integration of such environments as Java, Adobe FlashLite and Microsoft Silverlight.
– Driving innovation: Everyone on the call this morning seemed to echo the same idea that by being open-source and opening the code up, it will drive innovation and make the platform a leader. Mats Lindoff, CTO, Sony Ericsson: "Through its openness and completeness, it will fuel innovation, and it will bring growth to the mobile industry, service providers, developers and consumers, as well." Motorola VP Christy Wyatt: "By unifying the ecosystem today and by leveraging existing technology, we believe the combined efforts will truly accelerate the Symbian ecosystem, and provide greater opportunities for ourselves and partners."
Good news for all including the developer as Nokia-Symbian is going for open-source business model as for consumer we should see cheaper price of mobile phones and smartphones.
