The Symbian Foundation has unveiled the Symbian^3 (S^3) platform.
S^3 is the first entirely open source release following the platform’s transition to an open source license earlier this month.
S^3 is expected to be “feature complete” by the end of Q1.
Lee M. Williams, Executive Director of the Symbian Foundation, said: “S^3 is another huge milestone in the evolution of our platform. Now that it is fully open source, the door is open to individual contributors, device creators and third-party developer companies, as well as other organizations, to create more compelling products and services than ever before. We have enjoyed significant momentum since we completed S^2, with companies including Sun, Nokia, Ixonos, Comarch and Accenture, among others, contributing to S^3. We are now looking to build on this momentum and remain on course to complete S^4 later this year.”
Here’s a video from Nokia that gives you a peek at some of the more visual enhancements in Symbian^3:

It’s good to see Symbian becoming open source and has upgraded to Symbian^3. But it has to compete with Apple iOS and gadgets like iPad-2 vs Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1v. I’d also like to see the devices that are using Symbian^3 and comparison review with other platforms.
