The Symbian OS was a team effort between Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Panasonic, Samsung and Siemens. Reports said, that in the eve of the 10th year anniversary from the creation of Symbian, Nokia has bought the 8.4% Siemens stake for 70 million Euros ($108.6 million) and will now have over 56% of controlling interest in the group, but the press release says that Nokia takes it all. This could have created quite some uneasiness to the other players, but Nokia will play nice.

First they bought Trolltech when they allready where involved with a GTK-based mobile plattform(and Trolltech is QT-based and in addittion have a mobile plattform of their own).
Now they're open source symbian too. They're basicly involved in 3 competeting projects.
What's next? Getting involved with Android?
Nokia is confusing me. If there are some important pieces I'm missing here please enlighten me.
