Greatly Exagerated
I think the rumours of Symbian's demise are greatly exagerated.
On what grounds do you class it a dead platform?
The fact that EVERY major mobile manufacturer is a member of Synbian says something as does the fact that Bill G. has stated that Symbian is a top three threat to Microsoft.
Symbina does not produce hardware, Symbian (cleverly I believe) does not produce the UI - Symbian produces the OS.
An OS that powers the biggest selling PDA in EMEA.
Now I know this always comes as a shock to Americans but EMEA is a bigger market that the US - especially for mobile technology. Can you even say GSM hahahaha
The next 2-3 years are going to be a very interesting time in the mobile software/hardware/OS market place. Do not discount Symbian..
