Who am I?
I've been poking my nose in mobile software development since 2000, starting on what was then the ER5 and Ericsson's R380. Since then I've been doing a bit of everything on the S60 Platform, from learning its bits and pieces to helping others find their way trough the maze.

Microsoft to buy Symbian
ltomuta | 07 July, 2008 00:04
"Extra, Extra, Read all about it!"
The following piece of news caught my eye, I think it is funny enough to share it with you :)
On Sunday, Microsoft officials announced the company’s plans to acquire the remaining 50.1% of MSN Israel Ltd. from its partner, Internet Gold Ltd. ...
... About one week ago Microsoft talked about its intention to acquire a Portugal-based, mobile service-oriented company called MobiComp, for a yet-to-be-disclosed sum. Furthermore, the software giant wants to buy the remaining 52% of mobile software maker Symbian; in addition to this, it plans to work alongside several other electronics makers within the Symbian Foundation. The foundation’s purpose is to develop a unified software platform that will eventually become "the most widely used software platform on the planet".
The source of this information? Alexander Toldt of eFluxMedia (?!) Full story at Microsoft Going After MSN Israel Ltd.
Update: They've removed the highlighed paragraph from the article. Too bad, it would have been fun to see this picked up by the main media groups.
Symbian, Fun |
