Symbian plans to release a new version every six months

7th April 2009

The developments community of Symbian Foundation shared their plans regarding the release of updates for its operating system of the same name. According to the schedule, new versions of Symbian are going to come out every six months. Moreover, a new aggressive plan for the platform development requires simultaneous presence in the development of up to five future versions of the OS. The first of the planned updates is planned to be released in the nearest future (about a few months).
The community representatives say that they are planning to complete work on the Symbian operating system 2, based on the platform S60 5.1, until the end of this year. In case everything goes smoothly, the first models based on the new OS may go on sale already in 2009. The next release of Symbian 3 is scheduled for mid-2010.
If Symbian follows their own schedule correctly, the developers will be able to get ahead of competitors on the frequency of updates.
