Nokia Takes Back the Reins of Symbian.

"With more and more partners jumping ship from the Symbian Foundation, Nokia announced today it was taking back the reins of the Symbian platform as the foundation evolves into a licensing organization. The Symbian Foundation, which Nokia created in 2008 after buying Symbian, announced it was winding down operations and would slash 100 jobs as it moves to license the open source Symbian software and other intellectual property. The move by the foundation underscores the slowing momentum for the platform. But the transition also reaffirms Nokia’s commitment to Symbian as a workhorse for future phones. Essentially, Nokia can now push and develop Symbian much the way Google leads Android."
