RIM, Symbian Ink Licensing Deal
Research In Motion Ltd. and Symbian Ltd. on Monday announced plans to bring push-based corporate data and e-mail services to Symbian OS phones using technology currently used in RIM's Blackberry devices.
"Mobile device manufacturers, carriers, end users and IT departments are recognizing the productivity benefits that can be gained from wireless access to corporate data and email," said David Levin, CEO of Symbian Ltd. in London, in a statement. "Our agreement with RIM will enable Symbian OS licensees to exploit the rich functionality of Symbian OS and to add integrated, push-based access to email and enterprise information enabled by the BlackBerry solution."
Symbian, a cell phone operating system consortium established as a private independent company in June 1998, is owned by Ericsson AB, Nokia Corp., Matsushita Co.(Panasonic), Motorola Inc., Psion plc., Siemens Enterprise Networks LLC, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Inc. and now Samsung.
