Nokia’s Plan to Acquire Trolltech Raises Concerns for Symbian.

"It is becoming very clear that Nokia is getting serious on Linux, signaling more challenging times ahead for Symbian. Currently, Nokia only offers Linux based MIDs (mobile internet devices) and even though it has not expressed any specific intentions so far, this acquisition is likely to lead to Nokia introducing smartphones and other handsets based on Linux in the coming years. For Symbian, it will be a big setback and their market-share of the OS market will rapidly decline if Nokia starts offering Linux devices."
