Sony Ericsson today confirmed that it does not plan to release any new Symbian devices.
“We have no plans for the time being to develop any new products to the Symbian Foundation standard or operating system,” Aldo Liguori, a spokesman for the London-based company, said by telephone today. Liguori confirmed remarks made by Chief Technology Officer Jan Uddenfeldt to Swedish technology newspaper Ny Teknik.
Sony Ericsson is the latest mobile phone manufacturer to make such an announcement, following in the footsteps of others such as Samsung and Motorola. On the other hand, it will remain a member of the Symbian Foundation, suggesting that a return is not completely out of the question.
The company will focus its efforts on Google Android devices.
