"Samsung said it will discontinue support of Symbian as part of its Mobile Innovator developer support program, becoming the second major handset maker in the past week to publicly shift away from the platform.
In a letter to developers, Samsung said that effective Dec. 31 the company will no longer provide support to Symbian developers. Samsung recently has put its weight behind Google's Android platform, Microsoft's forthcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system and its own bada effort.
Sony Ericsson confirmed last week it will not produce any new products running Symbian."
