Welcome to this interim web site for the planned Symbian Foundation.  This site has been established on behalf of the ten initial board member companies of the Symbian Foundation, as a way of sharing information about plans for the foundation before it is formally established.

The intent to form the Symbian Foundation was announced on June 24, 2008 drawing strong industry support; further companies have added their endorsements for the initiative since then. The foundation is expected to start operating during the first half of 2009, subject to regulatory and other approvals. Membership of the foundation will be open to all organizations, for a low annual membership fee of US $1,500.

The Symbian Foundation platform will be available to members under a royalty-free license from this non-profit foundation from its first day of operations, expected to be during first half 2009. The Symbian Foundation will provide, manage and unify the platform, ultimately releasing it as open source.
