Samsung responds to Symbian claims, says it’s still supporting it
Contrary to popular belief (and reports from yesterday), it seems that Samsung actually isn’t planning to ditch Symbian anytime soon — or at least it’s not prepared to tell the public. Shortly after announcing its own Bada OS, rumors began to fly that Symbian support would fade in the near future; according to a company representative speaking with Mobile Burn, however, that’s simply not true. To quote:
“Samsung is an initial member of Symbian Foundation and continues to cooperate with Symbian Foundation. At the same time, Samsung supports various existing open operating systems including Symbian, Linux, Android, and Windows Mobile. To provide more choices to meet consumers‘ many different tastes and preferences, we will continue our ‘multi-OS’ strategy.”
‘Course, just because it’s “continuing” to support Symbian doesn’t mean that the hammer won’t fall tomorrow, but at least for now it seems the Big S is safe from seeing one of its own jump ship. Phew.
