Samsung not dropping Symbian after all
Sunday, November 15, 2009 12:20
Samsung will not drop the Symbian support, despite the rumor that has started spreading across the Interwebs few days ago. The Korean company commented on the story, which BTW originates from Taiwanese site DigiTimes, saying the article “is not in line with Samsung’s smartphone strategy.” They went on to add:
Samsung is an initial member of Symbian Foundation and continues to cooperate with Symbian Foundation. At the same time, Samsung supports various existing open operating systems including Symbian, Linux, Android, and Windows Mobile. To provide more choices to meet consumers’ many different tastes and preferences, we will continue our “multi-OS” strategy. Our policy is to provide what consumers want when they need.
That’s cool to know but we do wonder when we’ll see a new Symbian handset from Samsung. Having multiple platforms available on the market is beneficial to the end users in my eyes…
