PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Ahead of schedule, the Symbian Foundation has released the source code to Symbian's EKA2 real-time, multitasking, SMP microkernel, under the Eclipse Public License. It comes with a complete development kit, free of charge. The Foundation's plan is to open up the entire platform, and this is of course a very important milestone in that process.

It's nice to see progress in the whole "moving to open source" thing. ATM, Symbian is really lagging as a platform, but with the move to open source and the shift to Qt for app development, things just might pick up for it.
