Joint venture of media companies has announced that Sony Ericsson does not manufacture more devices based on Symbian OS
Symbian for years considered the weak link in mobile operating systems, and now she even gets another blow. Joint media venture Sony - Ericsson announced that he intends to continue to use the platform. "Currently we have no plans to develop new products to support Symbian, Aldo Ligacari announced, a spokesman for the company, confirming things said recently chief technology officer of Sony - Ericsson. The company used the Symbian phone line in her Vivaz. Although not considered a popular operating system, Symbian maintains position for years the most common operating system - mainly because it is an integral part of many instruments of Nokia Corporation. But even this goes fading status: Symbian's market share declined in the second quarter of 2010 to -41.2% 51% what it was before. Like many, even Sony - Ericsson is betting now on the Android OS from Google, which goes steadily gaining momentum. Gartner also predicts that Android will become the second most common operating system the world over the next year. Despite the announcement, noted Sony - Ericsson will continue to be part of the Symbian Foundation (established in 2008 to share code with the development of various manufacturers, including Samsung). "The use of the Android platform is not exclusive, but it will certainly continue to be an important platform for us," declared Aldo Ligacari.
