It is not the end of Symbian
I think it is not end of Symbian (do not mix with S60-UI framework it is killed already by Qt)
.
I am sure “Symbian” will see the death of “iPhone” and “Adroid”.
The final statement about the end of “Symbian” is exaggerated.
The root is always money. “Symbian” generates money for Nokia, without “Symbian” Nokia is dead company. Getting more money by selling perfect hardware with other WM7 OS, why not if it is generates more money. The model Microsoft – Nokia will be always like that.
Let us guess that what will be behind the stage:
-It is too risky to go into this business model without seeing source code and design, what you are going to take as platform for revenue generator. It may be another burning platform with escaped El.
- “MicroSoft” will not share source code WM7.0 with Nokia, hence only “Idiots”, but I do not see them, to put all eggs in this “basket”.
-Nokia stuff will be isolated from any kind cooperation with works with Microsoft. Hence cutting R&D will be only in non-Symbian services that were made with using MS products, but still low quality. I think Microsoft is the best to do them better.
-No development from Nokia the phone UI for WM7. Yes, It only means one thing the level of design and hardcoding in WM7 it is still high, that makes this completely impossible. (However Symbian still is simple to do)
-The Nokia stuff has different opinion, without their support senior commanders are only descriptively speaking hired group. This plan can be easy failed with WM7.0 death.
