– KPT joins the Symbian Foundation
KeyPoint Technologies (UK) Ltd today announced that it has joined the Symbian Foundation, which, together with its ecosystem, is creating the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform. The platform is based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP(S) user interfaces. Portions of the source code are already being moved to open source, under the Eclipse Public License. By mid-2010, this process will be complete.
"The Symbian Foundation welcomes KeyPoint Technologies into the community," said Shaun Puckrin, head of community support for Symbian. "Developers are crucial to creating the richest possible user experiences. We are eager to see the innovations that KeyPoint Technologies will bring to Symbian consumers."
