Nokia's Symbian Acquisition Reportedly On Schedule

Nokia this week at a meeting in London said its acquisition of Symbian, the company with the eponymous mobile operating system, is on track.
That means that Nokia, the world's largest supplier of cell phones, will soon be stepping up its assault on the world's handset markets, as it turns the operating system into open source software designed to appeal to global mobile phone markets.



"The Symbian deal is on track," Mary McDowell, Nokia's chief development officer, told the Reuters news service. She added that she hopes Nokia's drive into IT services will contribute to its sales.
