Symbian Foundation Sites To Close

Following news earlier this month that Nokia is taking back control of Symbian platform development, the Symbian Foundation has now announced that its websites will shut down on December 17th. Source repositories will no longer be hosted online, and user-submitted content databases may be available later upon request. "We are working hard to make sure that most of the content accessible through web services (such as the source code, kits, wiki, bug database, reference documentation & Symbian Ideas) is available in some form, most likely on a DVD or USB hard drive upon request to the Symbian Foundation. Preparing this content will take some time, hence it will not be distributable before 31st January 2011. A charge may be levied for media and shipping.

It's official

Symbian is dead. No need to wait for Netcraft to confirm it.

Wait a minute...

How will this affect the high-end adult toy industry?

Android stands a top Symbian's beheaded body: "There can be only one!"

My girlfriend will have to get off manually. Oh wait, I don't have a girlfriend.

I'm pretty sure that this is the software-industry equivalent of taking a body home for a closed-casket funeral.
