The Symbian Foundation today announced the Zoom OMAP34x-II mobile development platform (MDP) based on OMAP technology from Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE: TXN) as the first standard hardware development platform for developers that will help drive open source innovation on the Symbian platform.
The Symbian Foundation together with its ecosystem is creating the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform which is based on Symbian OS and contributed software assets from S60 and MOAP(s). Symbian OS is the leading open mobile operating system that has shipped in over 250 million mobile devices to date.
The foundation plans to move the platform to open source over the next two years, with the intent to use the Eclipse Public License. This will make the platform code available to all for free, bringing additional innovation and engaging an even broader community in future developments. As part of the development of the platform, the foundation is fostering a community of developers, hardware manufacturers and other partners.
Using the Zoom OMAP34x-II MDP, Symbian developers will be able to quickly and easily validate smartphone and Mobile Internet Device (MID) applications that will run on Symbian^3 - the next release of the Symbian platform and is targeted for development in 2H 2009.
The Zoom OMAP34x-II MDP is a feature-rich, battery operated handheld development platform that gives developers the key capabilities to quickly begin developing on the Symbian platform and to reduce time to market for mobile devices.

"The OMAP 3 software development platform and the Zoom OMAP34x-II MDP make it easy for the Symbian developer community to take advantage of TI's fully featured, affordable hardware platform, sparking innovation and helping developers mastermind the next generation of technologies that shape future mobile consumer experiences."
