Nokia has today announced that they will be acquiring the remaining 52% of Symbian they don’t own and will be releasing the complete Symbian platform under the Eclipse open source license. Nokia have also announced the creation of the Symbian Foundation, which is an alliance of mobile vendors and application providers that any company can join. The foundation will oversee the process of releasing Symbian under a new open source license, and then retain the long-term control and trademarks of the operating system.

Symbian is a mobile operating system that runs primarily on the ARM architecture used in Nokia, Sony Erricsson and Samsung devices. Symbian originated at Psion, and found its way onto Nokia handsets starting with the original Communicator. Symbian found a good home at Nokia, and its growth as a mobile platform grew as Nokia dominated the mobile handset market from 2000 onwards.

Current mobile handset market share statistics depend very largly on who you ask and which classification is used, but the ranking is currently approximately:

  • Symbian (60%)
  • Windows (15%)
  • RIM (10%)
  • iPhone (7%)

The Sybmian market share can be further broken down as not all versions are compatible with others. Regardless of the source of data, Symbian is by far the dominant smartphone operating system.

With such dominant market share, the question to ask is why Nokia would pour more money into Symbian to only then open source the platform. As the Symbian foundation says, the purpose of Symbian is to: “bring to life a shared vision and to create the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform – available for free”. Sound familiar?

    Yes, I assume it has something to do with Google Android. Or indeed securing it’s future against perhaps current stronger new players like the iPhone. And a full stack of software and web (social and mapping) that add up to a very powerful combination for Nokia, through other recent purchases. Seems a very clear confident strategy.

    And from my own slightly vested interest, as Nokia/Symbian has signalled that Microsoft Silverlight could come to their platform soon, I’m glad that they are still very committed to their own OS.

    I find it hard to believe the iphone has 7% of the market already? is this US figures or world wide? also what are the sources for those figures? are they just smart phone figures because I would imagine there are a lot of nokia handsets out there that are not smart phones as such and have this os.

    This looks like a great strategic move by Nokia, especially if they already have 60% market share. Whoever owns the biggest platform will get the biggest bite at global handset access and income and, more importantly, mobile advertising revenues. Here is a very recent New Yorker interview with Eric Schmidt on Google, including very interesting comments about what Google thinks about where the mobile internet is going:

    Regarding the market share figures above, I assume you meant market share for smart phones, not all phones. Symbian isn’t on 60% of the world’s handsets, or even 60% of all of Nokia’s handsets for that matter.

  • Peter

    Nokia’s global market share is about 39%. Interesting move.

  • ben hookway

    The market share numbers are completely inaccurate. These reflect Smartphone market share, not mobile market share. There are 1.2bn phones sold every year and only 200-300m can claim to be smartphones so this paints a completely false picture.

    iPhone has approx 0.7% market share right now.
    Nokia has approx 40% but the vast bulk of those are Series40 handsets, not using symbian.

    All that said, the point of this exercise is to crush Android

    Its too bad the license they used is incompatible with the GPL 3. Linux and other GPL’d software still can’t incorporate their code.

    Does this *really* mean that the *entire* Symbian platform will be open sourced? All the press release really says is:

    [...] Contributions from Foundation members through open collaboration will be integrated to further enhance the platform. The Foundation will make selected components available as open source at launch. It will then work to establish the most complete mobile software offering available in open source. This will be made available over the next two years and is intended to be released under Eclipse Public License (EPL) 1.0. [...]

    So initally only “selected components” will be open sourced. Even after two years it only says “the most complete mobile software offering available in open source” which isn’t saying that it will actually be complete like Linux is complete, but only that it will be *more* complete compared to the competition.

    This is also entirely separate from S60, right? Which means that all the UI goodies won’t be open sourced. So that’s kinda different from Android which actually provides a usable UI.

    Or am I missing something?

    The smartphone OS market will be divided into two groups: Proprietry and Open. Proprietry group includes Microsoft and Apple, tradiotionally a software company. Their business model will be destroyed if they sell software for free and they are basically unable to take open approach. Open group includes Nokia and Google. Both have nothing to lose to sell software for free but see opportnities in universal service on the platform. Nokia’s move seeems to tell that the proprietry OS will see more pressure from open source, just like in PC. Strategically, this is very interesting move, but it seems to be too early to tell who will be the winner in mobile internet space. But at least I feel we will see more diversification/fragmentation of the market rather than concentration in the future.
