Symbian OS goes Open Source
Tagged Under : company, incarnation, Sourced, user, Whilst
Symbian is currently the Operating System boasting the highest number of installed users with an incredible 330+ Million phones being powered by the Symbian software. With this is mind, it’s surprising to hear Symbian is also one of the last OS’s to offer a major update, even though it is starting to look very tired and out dated in comparison with the recent iPhone OS and Android OS offerings.
The biggest user of Symbian software is Finnish manufacturer Nokia who liked the software that much that it has bought the company and has announced it’s intentions to make Symbian OS Open Sourced. But what exactly does this mean? Well, without going into too many boring details, open sourcing the software opens up the availability of the Source Code to programmers, who can then develop, modify and distribute as they see fit meaning a richer and hopefully what becomes a considerably improved OS very quickly thanks to developer input. This also promises a multitude of new functionality and applications.

After teasing us with a demo video back in November, Mozilla have finally released the mobile version of their excellent Firefox web browser. Available for the Maemo operating system, Firefox can be downloaded for the recently released Nokia N900 as well as the N810, Nokia’s earlier attempt at a Maemo powered device (though strictly speaking an internet tablet rather than a mobile phone).
With the N900 already available with a pre-installed Mozilla web browser, is it worth the upgrade to the full blown Firefox version? Well, with the browser now available to download directly from Mozilla we’ll let you be the judge but here’s a quick look at what you can expect from the Firefox Mobile web browser for Maemo.
The key feature for Firefox is tabbed browsing as you’ll now be able to open multiple tabs within the web browser on your N900, each of which can display a separate web page. Mobile Firefox also includes the Awesome address bar and Weave sync. For the uninitiated, the Awesome bar is a smart address bar that will start offering suggestions as you type an address based on your browsing history whilst Weave sync will allow you to sync your browsing history, tabs, bookmarks etc. from your desktop PC to your N900. Not bad eh?!
