Computing: in 2007Q3 Symbian sold 20.4m smartphone software. This represents a 56 per cent increase on the same period last year. Revenue is at US$54.2m. Symbian chief executive Nigel Clifford commented: "I am confident that Symbian will continue to lead the growing smartphone market, to outperform the competition, and to erode other consumer electronic device markets."
Nokia, who own 48% of Symbian, have not ruled out joining Google's Android platform, which is a competitor to Symbian, according to eWeek.
Elsewhere, the BBC report that John Forsyth, vice president of strategy at Symbian, believes "there was nothing to indicate that Google's dominance of the web would make it successful as a mobile phone platform provider".
