UIQ已死，未來S60 5.0

諾基亞全額收購Symbian S60/UIQ走向一統
To enable the Foundation, Nokia today announced plans to acquire the remaining shares of Symbian Limited that Nokia does not already own and then contribute the Symbian and S60 software to the Foundation. Sony Ericsson and Motorola today announced their intention to contribute technology from UIQ and DOCOMO has also indicated its willingness to contribute its MOAP assets. From these contributions, the Foundation will provide a unified platform with common UI framework. A full platform will be available for all Foundation members under a royalty-free license, from the Foundation's first day of operations.
It will then work to establish the most complete mobile software offering available in open source. This will be made available over the next two years and is intended to be released under Eclipse Public License (EPL) 1.0.
1. Nokia掏出4億美金全資擁有Symbian。
2. Nokia貢獻所有的S60以及Symbian知識產權成立非營利Symbian基金會，同時SE和Moto貢獻UIQ，DoCoMo貢獻MOAP。
3. 所有的Symbian基金會成員均可制造基于Symbian OS的手機，授權費全免。加入基金會的代價則是1500美金。
4. Symbian基金會承諾，在2年之內公開Symbian全部源代碼。

未來的SymbianOS肯定是基于S60 5.0(2009年釋出)，這一點基本上毋庸置疑（提供向下兼容S60 3.1 platform能力）。UIQ宣布裁員200人，SE的Paris已經宣告終止。
