This is in response to the fact that Nokia, despite being at 40% market share is in trouble. As I just blogged (see link below) The handset market is shifting almost entirely to a software market and symbian just doesnt cut it. I think, despite Nokia's seeming success, without radical action, Android, OS X, and even windows mobile will hurt them.

I don't really like how you advertise your blog but I absolutely agree with the fact that Symbian is a pain in the ass to program.

LH,

Would you prefer that I paste the whole article here, or do you just think that the ideas are not worth sharing?

I am fairly new to blogging, but from all the people I have spoken to, and everything I have read, commenting on peoples blogs with links to more complete comments is the essence of blog conversation.

Nokia knows Symbian doesn't cut it. That's why they've been building up a Linux platform (Maemo) for the last few years.

This isn't a major shift for Nokia, it's adding to an already building tool set for them.
