Smartphone Show 2008: Developers urged to ‘handshake’ with Symbian code
By Maggie Holland,
In a separate announcement at the show, Symbian revealed that several companies have joined its foundation in support of its open platform ethics. These new entrants include the likes of ARM, Huawei and Visa.
“Over the last two years, Visa has actively engaged with financial institutions, wireless operators, handset manufacturers and technology providers to develop and test mobile payments and services, ranging from payments, money transfer services, transaction alerts, merchant offers and an ATM and store locator service,” said Tim Attinger, Visa's head of global product innovation and development.
“We believe that the Symbian Foundation platform has the potential to accelerate the delivery of those services to consumers around the globe.”
