Symbian platform goes open source!

Jonne Eilimö | February 4, 2010 09:40 | 0 comments |

Symbian, the mobile phone software used on about 330 million phones world wide, went today open source. This means that the software is now completely free to use and edit. The basic OS is now open source, but some phone specific software is not.

The open source version of symbian is called Symbian^3. Previous Symbian versions, S40 and S60, are called Symbian^1.

Spotify now also available for Symbian phones

Jonne Eilimö | November 23, 2009 10:38 | 0 comments |

symbian4Soptify today told on their blog that the highly popular service is now available also to Symbian phones. The application doesn’t support all Symbian phones, but you can check  compatibility by visiting http://m.spotify.com/ with your phone.

I’d say this is good news for Spotify users, but a very bad thing for Nokia’s Comes With Music service. Nokia’s service costs ~130€ a year, and spotify can be bought with 9.99€ a month. So basically they cost the same, but for most people a monthly plan is much better than a yearly payment.

The application is now available to all three main platforms, Symbian, Android and the iPhone OS. So far there is no word on a possible Maemo support.

Download Spotify for Symbian here.
