No license shud be givn to Moto or nokia or anyone On 4 Feb 04:22 Prom1 wrote Now lets see what their vision is for UIQ3 and future versions. Most importantly lets hope other board members of Symbian does NOT force implementation of new features of S60/UIQ3+ of licensee's to submit their advancements to Symbian for its own improvement. Those that remember how Palm Inc. (when hardware & OS were BOTH 1 company)screwed over Sony will know exactly what I'm talking about. > Here's to many innovations that give us the user more power & seemless integration of functionalities & great design.
