Symbian Foundation

The Symbian Foundation is a non-profit organisation, founded by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, NTT DoCoMo, Texas Instruments, Vodafone, Samsung, ST Ericsson and AT&T. The Symbian Foundation was formed to steward the Symbian platform, which is based on Symbian OS, an operating system for mobile phones that had previously been owned and licensed by Symbian LTD. The role of the foundation is not to develop, but to evangelize, co-ordinate and ensure compatibility.
