Samsung ditches Symbian

Samsung's mobile strategy has always been multifaceted.

The company has built phones running on software from Microsoft, Google, and now their own Bada OS. So it's no surprise that Sammy has finally decided to make some space and give Symbian the boot. Samsung sent out an email to all their registered Symbian developers that laid out in no uncertain terms their plans to shut down all Symbian development by year's end.With even Nokia working on MeeGo as an alternative mobile OS, things are looking grim for Symbian. It is possible that Samsung could remain a member of the Symbian Foundation, but they would not be contributing. Do you think Symbian will continue shrinking, or is a turnaround in store?
