It looks like the lights at the Symbian Foundation headquarters won’t be on much longer. The sad fact of the matter is that no one cares about Symbian anymore. Two of the Foundation’s major supporters — Samsung and Sony — have either halted all development on current Symbian-powered products or have withdrawn from the Foundation altogether. It also doesn’t help that the Foundation’s largest supporter is Nokia, whom also isn’t...
