Samsung drops all Symbian support by the end of December

Symbian has had another crutch removed from it as Samsung have just announced that they will no longer be developing products for the platform. The announcement came in an email to developers stating that Samsung would be shutting down its Symbian forum and removing its Symbian content by the end of the year. It comes not long after Sony Ericsson also announced a similar move, saying they would no longer be developing Symbian handsets.

Both Samsung and Sony Ericsson are to remain members of the Symbian Foundation, but presumably thats so they can get an invite to the annual booze up and stay on the Xmas card list. Otherwise Symbian is looking more and more isolated from the the reality of the modern smartphone market.

Is it the End of this Great OS!?
