Symbian OS finally open!

It was one year ago when I dreamed of Symbian OS being open source....Indeed I felt a little satisfaction when some days ago Nokia announced the buy of the rest of Symbian Ltd shares and the creation of Symbian Foundation which will be the gatekeeper of the evolution of the next OPEN SOURCE generations of Symbian OS.
It is a huge turnkey into mobile business ecosystem and really really hard to say who will resist into next battle for consolidation that comes with the announce. In fact the new Symbian OS will include some middleware and application frameworks from S60, UIQ and MOAP. Easy to say that S60 will be strongly sponsored by Nokia.
