Nokia buys out Symbian
and as always, on the front page of AAS for those that venture! 😉
I'm pretty sure I understand where Nokia is going with this, but it certainly is a shame to spend all that money just to turn around and give away what you bought. One would hope that this will position Symbian to be the worlds leading mobile OS now and well into the future.
