Will Symbian become established into the high volume, low unit cost market? They hope so, as Symbian OS v9.0 is announced. There's no direct impact on end-users at the moment, with 9.0 phones not expected to late 2005, but comments in the Press Release regarding the DRM capabilities, locking out certain functions to applications, further promotion of the Symbian Signed certification and allowing "network operators... to access a user’s phone over the air to deploy new network services, capabilities or applications, or to diagnose a problem, as well as to audit applications installed on a phone" lead us to wonder just what route Symbian OS will take. Is the focus on givng the end-user a fully functioning computer, or to give more control of a handset to the Networks and the content sellers? These are all things to ask Symbian at 3GSM I suspect.
