Symbian 4, Maemo 6 Coming in Late 2010
InfoSync: News about upcoming smartphone platforms follows recent announcement of price cuts throughout Nokia's handset portfolio.
"Nokia's current touchscreen phones are powered by Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition phones) or Maemo 5 (Nokia N900), but DigiTimes today reported that Michael Hsu, general manager of Nokia Taiwan, says Symbian^4 will arrive in late 2010 or early 2011 while Maemo 6 should arrive in the second half of 2010."
"Symbian^4 will offer a Qt cross-platform application development framework, which will also be embedded in Maemo 6. This move will make it easier for third-party developers to publish content and apps to both Symbian and Maemo, subsequently leading to a greater depth of applications available for especially Maemo-based devices."
