InfoWorld's Tom Yager speculates on the road ahead for Symbian now that Nokia has established the Symbian Foundation to lead the OS into its open source era. The Foundation -- which includes five Symbian licensees, three major wireless carriers, and two embedded semiconductor manufacturers -- is certainly a motley crew, yet, as Yager writes, 'If Foundation members could agree on a set of objectives, it might be able to drive a new device from concept to wireless network deployment in a fraction of the time it takes today.'

Many of those issues aren't issues with the core OS, but rather with layers of crap that have been thrown on top of that core. If, for Symbian 10, Nokia and co were to go back to the EPOCr5 codebase and re-implement the advanced features in a coherent, logical fashion, I suspect the advantages of the core OS would show through better.
