[General] Android, Symbian Expected To Become One OS

[Mohammed Al-Essa]

Nokia-owned Symbian and Google-created Android are destined to be
combined to provide a single open source operating system for
smartphones, an analyst firm said Thursday.

The merger of the two operating systems will begin within three to six
months, driven mostly by the fact that Nokia and Google are pursuing
similar open source strategies with their respective technology, J.
Gold Associates said in a research note.
