Abstract
In June 2008, Nokia announced that it plans to buy all shares of Symbian it
does not already own. In the future, the S60, UIQ, and MOAP interfaces will be
integrated into a unified development platform, user interface and development
tool. Furthermore, Nokia will transfer the Symbian OS and related patents to
the newly established Symbian Foundation and will use the Eclipse Public
License 1.0 model for licensing. This report will analyze the strategic
implications of Nokia' s takeover of Symbian, and will examine the effect it
will have on the future development of the mobile phone industry.
