When the Symbian Foundation was formed, one of the key things was its roadmap for the future – this is the plan of attack, so to speak, thus its importance. Ian Hutton is the chair of the Feature and Roadmap Council at the Symbian Foundation, and took some time to sit down with our friends [...]
The Symbian Foundation is already made up of a ton of awesome companies, but one more recently joined the ranks – SRS Labs. If you’re an audiophile, you’re likely already familiar with SRS Labs – their research in audio signal processing is well known, and they are currently featured in countless consumer electronics, including the [...]
Today we finally learned what that countdown was all about – the Symbian operating system is, as of today, fully open sourced. This is a major announcement, as it means that any company or individual can take the Symbian platform and make it whatever they want, for any device – be it a smartphone, netbook, [...]

While other such services limits themselves to one platform, with Boingo you can get access to those hotspots via [...]
It’s no secret that Symbian needs a new user interface. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 is the height of S60, and S60 5th Edition had touch capabilities rigged on in a really awkward way. The S60 brand is no more, but the UI has been adopted as the user interface for the Symbian Foundation [...]
