Earlier this month, both Samsung and SonyEricsson announced they are no longer developing mobile phones based on Symbian OS. Last week, Symbian’s Lee Williams also left. A sign of things to come?
The Register reports that Symbian has asked Lee’s replacement to prepare the foundation for closing down as it is running out of funds. That should include social plans for the current employees.
When asked, the Symbian Foundation would not confirm or agree on the rumors. “The future business strategy for the Symbian Foundation is still under review by the board. As no decisions have been made, we will not be offering further comment,” Symbian said.
