Contrary to popular belief (and
reports from yesterday), it seems that Samsung actually
isn't planning to ditch Symbian anytime soon -- or at least it's not prepared to tell the public. Shortly after announcing its own
Bada OS, rumors began to fly that Symbian support would fade in the near future; according to a company representative speaking with
Mobile Burn, however, that's simply not true. To quote:
"Samsung is an initial member of Symbian Foundation and continues to cooperate with Symbian Foundation. At the same time, Samsung supports various existing open operating systems including Symbian, Linux, Android, and Windows Mobile. To provide more choices to meet consumers' many different tastes and preferences, we will continue our 'multi-OS' strategy."
'Course, just because it's "continuing" to
support Symbian doesn't mean that the hammer won't fall tomorrow, but at least for now it seems the Big S is safe from seeing one of its own jump ship. Phew.
前日的Samsung停用Symbian事件的確造成了廣大用家的爭論
特別是對Samsung Symbian手機用家造成了恐慌
至於Samsung是不是真心支持Symbian則仍是未知之數
有可能真如官方聲稱繼續它的多OS策略
有可能會在2010年推出剩下的Symbian手機計劃再轉軚
有可能是Symbian Foundation低聲下氣哀求愛人回心轉意
一切要待2011年才會明朗...
