Symbian OS tablets, netbooks could be coming soon

Yesterday the folks behind the Symbian smartphone operating system announced that the platform had gone open source. Now it looks like Symbian may be planning to move beyond the smartphone and port the OS to tablet and netbook-style devices.

We’ve already seen that Symbian can be ported to run on devices with an Intel Atom processor. In an interview with ZDNet, Symbian Foundation CEO Lee Williams said it’s “very likely” that we’ll see a tablet or netbook running Symbian in the next year or two. It sounds like a tablet is more likely than a netbook at this point, but you never know.

Symbian also supports a “Wild Ducks” project encouraging developers to port the OS to run on all sorts of off-the-shelf hardware.

To compete with Android and other OS, it will definitely have to be on netbooks and possibly tablets.

Symbian, Chrome, Leenux, Android etc etc. Who cares?

For most people, a netbook is merely to surf the net. They don't really care about the OS. And those who use their netbooks merely to surf the net just want a good browser like Firefox. They hardly install any other software.

At the most, an antivirus and OpenOffice.
