- Maybe Celio will weigh in, but I haven't been able to get anything out of them about Symbian support aside from vague assurances that they are looking into other operating systems.
They have shown off a version running Android, and dropped some hints about BlackBerry support, but have been mum about Symbian, as far as I can remember.

LOL - sorry I just couldn't resist teasing Ed.
Seriously, Symbian support is on our product roadmap and we have done some R&D work with this platform. Currently we do not plan to have support for it available in 2009. However, as I have mentioned before, we are a very agile engineering company so that plan could change if there were business conditions that warranted expedited development for it.
Thanks,

All kidding aside, I don't blame Celio for taking a wait-and-see attitude about Symbian. This operating system is in the process of a profound change, as S60 is merged into the OS and the whole kitnkaboodle is taken open source. It seems to me that a driver written for what's available now will have to be almost totally rewritten in the next year or so.

- Yeah but there are more Nokia phones in the world than any other. There's plenty of phones already out there that could take advantage of 'current' drivers for quite a while.
I think Celio Corp is maybe looking too closely at the US market (few Nokia phones oin the market, relatively speaking) and not enough at the Euro/Asian markets.
