New York – Beginning Thursday the Symbian Foundation planned to make public, for free, a large part of the software that powers the smartest phones in the globe.Lee Williams, executive director of the London-based foundation, said it has now finished the largest ever translation of proprietary software to "open source," which means the source code, or blueprint for the software, is accessible to everyone. However, software associated with some phone features will be out later this year.
Symbian software is used on over 330 million phones about the world, the foundation said. It is facing new and vigorous rivalry in the smart phone arena from Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Google Inc.'s Android system. Android is also freely accessible for everyone to use.
Analysts say Symbian, which has over 10 years of development behind it, is first to look outdated and has lagged in supporting must-have new features similar to touch screens. Symbian phones have not at all been big sellers in the U.S. The open-source edition of the software is well-known as Symbian 3, and supersedes Series 60.
