Yesterday, analyst firm J. Gold Associates said that they anticipate the Google Android and Nokia Symbian operating systems to merge into a single platform.
“We anticipate that within the next three-six months, Symbian and Android will combine to provide a single open source OS,” said the firm. “Many of the same sponsors are involved in both initiatives.”
Not so, states Nokia. During the Mobile Web Wars roundtable this day, an audience member asked for opinions on the merger rumor. David Rivas, VP of Technology Management for S60 Software at Nokia, just so happened to be on the panel, and he said (twice) that there were no plans to merge the two platforms.
We’ll update with a clip (or at least a direct quote) after the round table is over.
