Nokia's Plans for Symbian vs. Maemo

,----[ Quote ]
| New entrants to the market including
| Google's (GOOG) Android will continue to
| snap at Symbian's heels, according to market
| watchers In-Stat, with the company also
| seeing increasing competition from a new
| quarter—Maemo, a Linux-based OS for mobile
| devices.
|
| "New OSes such as Android and Maemo will cut
| away at Symbian market share," Allen Nogee,
| In-Stat analyst, said in a statement,
| adding: "Although there are relatively few
| open source OS-based smartphones in the
| market today, the open source OS momentum is
| difficult to ignore."
