Note: Consumer electronics (CE) will be a consistent focus of this blog. Podo's most current solution focuses on this market due to the rapid evolution of devices their immense complexities and the difficulty inherent in marketing such a complex device in a retail environment.
As expected one more mobile device manufacturer has split from the Symbian fold. Nokia has made a valiant effort to distance themselves from Symbian but the risk (perceived or real is immaterial) to other manufacturers is simply too great to absorb.
Major impact of this change? Nokia's marketshare and reputation are slumping while Samsung is growing rapidly. Where are the developers going to head? To the market leader who has a weak/slow lineup of smartphone devices or an up-and-comer? Developers have a tendency to want to avoid entrenched platforms. Time will tell.
