A Forum Nokia BlogUIQ files for bankruptcy<p>
One of my friend informed me about UIQ declaring bankruptcy, and I thought, this would be an interesting topic to start my blogs with:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Johan Sandberg, CEO of UIQ Technology said, "We got into a position
where we have no customers, no product to sell, and therefore no income
either".
</p>
<p>
While this outcome has been the most likely since the announcement of
the Symbian foundation last year the decline has been rapid. Sony
Ericsson's decision to switch, sooner rather than later, to the Symbian
Foundation Platform (effectively S60) and Motorola cancellation of its
substantial 2009 UIQ portfolio (and switch to Android), both
accelerated the decline of UIQ Technology.
</p>
<p>
Approximately 200 people were still working for UIQ when the
announcement was made. Responsibility for the operating and winding
down of UIQ Technology falls to the <span>insolvency administrator appointed by the Blekinge district court.</span>
