Symbian shrugs off iPhone and Android
The Symbian operating system grew 50% over 2007 and is well positioned to grow in the future, according to Symbian Software Ltd.
About 22.4 million Symbian phones shipped in the fourth quarter of 2007, bringing the full-year total to 77 million, with €179 million in royalties for the year. However, Symbian is making its operating system cheaper in order to reach beyond the smart-phone sector to lower-cost phones, which are expected to grow much faster than any other kind of device in the next few years.
