Symbian How are you? Symbian is the smart phone operating system that now rule the world. Until February 2010, the Symbian platform has been developed more than 10 years and has been buried in more than 330 million devices worldwide.
The rate on Symbian smart phones are not overtaken by other operating systems because the power of the operating system that allows outside developers to build applications on Symbian phones.
So, thousands of free and paid applications born of software developers throughout the world. This is what makes the Symbian mobile phone and content-rich Symbian users are individuals who like ngoprek.
Although there are estimates Android operating system will be number two on the bottom in 2013, Symbian, Symbian was still a capable force. Moreover, according to Motorola officials promised, in 2010, the Symbian Foundation has released the full operating system as open code (open source).
Symbian smart phone is identical with the Nokia. However, not only the actual Nokia uses Symbian.
Symbian Foundation, the institution in charge of taking care of the preparation to open source Symbian, is a nonprofit organization that was announced June 24, 2008. Nokia took Sony Ericsson, Motorola, NTT DoCoMo, AT & T, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Vodafone, and several rows of another brand to hoist Symbian.
Besides funding, Siemens to contribute Symbian OS and S60 for Symbian Foundation. Sony Ericsson and Motorola did not want to lose, they donate their mainstay code, which is UIQ. NTT DoCoMo to contribute MOAP (S).
With that capital, the future of the Symbian Foundation should be more hit the market. Speculation is rampant that the Symbian alliance to confront Android.
However, in a chance, Bob Iannucci who was then serving Senior Vice President Chief Technology Officer of Siemens argued that presumption. "All along we are in this business. So this is not true that our response to Android, "he said.
Late show
Symbian Foundation moves too slow to respond to the "Google Addict" who continue to follow the issue and waiting Android features Google applications to run perfectly on the phone. Long before Android phone realized, was to mobilize the community discussion about Android.
Similarly, in Indonesia. Agus Hamonangan, which was not a programmer or a tech expert, diligent in updating the Android technology information and set up a mailing list that Indonesia Android Community id-android@googlegroups.com address at.
Long before Android phones present in Indonesia, the community was already brisk universe internet discussion about Android. "Virus" Android continues to spread. Free ads in the form of word of mouth (WOM) about Android is actually running on a voluntary basis.
"Our members now about 1,200 people. This mailing list for the community that likes ngoprek Android technology, "said Agus. Discussion forums and Android user community continues to grow despite officially Android phone has not circulated in Indonesia. They guerrilla find these products directly to foreign countries that have been released Android phone.
In the vacuum that Android phone, it has not happened stepping strategy of Symbian Symbian although still leading in the segment smart phone operating system. This occurs because the system of the Symbian Foundation membership is not fully open.
Not easy to get the full code because the system requires paid membership of 1500 U.S. dollars so that small developers can not get the full code.
By the time Android was launched to directly eliminate Android, Symbian is still the plan to eliminate the software to open source in 2010. This delay is probably related to the settlement of Symbian Limited shares in issue and also integrate all the software applications into the new Symbian.
Vacancies between 2008 and 2010, that's what Android is used to perform imaging pitch itself as a true open source.
February 4, according to the official website at Symbian.org, the official release of the Symbian Foundation Symbian platform under open source. For the initial release, the new Symbian released for the Kernel and hardware package that free downloadable Services.
More information can be found at . "Symbian platform which has been buried in more than 330 million devices around the world is now officially open and free," said Lee Williams, Executive Director of the Symbian Foundation.
"Community developers are now reinforced to deal with future mobile industry," added Lee. In full, all the Symbian platform will be opened to the public in mid-2010.
Unfortunately, the publication of the open source release is still minimal and no echo. Lost by an echo Android is starting to embrace the community diligently.
With this news, it seems smart phone battle will be interesting and the user community and developer community would likely be a "seizure". However, while in the path open source, Android and Symbian should be able to compete well. Open code prohibited fellow twisted together.
