Sad because UIQ the User Interface (it is not an operating system) that ran the world's first 2G touch screen smartphones...
There was once a phone called the Sony Ericsson P800. It had a touch screen and a fold-up keypad. Quickly followed by the P900 and P910. The SE P Series were the first smartphones in the 2G era (Edge) and they were fantastic units. They ran UIQ. The UIQ2 in the P910 I had was far more stable than the WM 6.1 in my Tilt.
But SE got to the P910 successor - the P990 - and lost the plot. It was unstable and didn't have enough memory to take advantage of Symbian's advanced multi-threading capabilities (UIQ, like S60 is the interfaceover the Symbian OS. UIQ= User Interface Quartz).
Seems now as though UIQ, the pioneer of touch-screen smart phones will be left to the dust bin of history.
