Capricode is now a member of Symbian Foundation |
Oulu, Finland 18.8.2009 - Capricode has now become a member of the new Symbian Foundation. The membership provides many advantages to Capricode as the Symbian platform is one of the major mobile software platforms in which its SyncShieldŽ mobile device management solution is operating. With SyncShieldŽ it is possible to manage centrally and remotely smart phones of which a great number is based on the Symbian Operating system.
The Symbian Foundation, together with its ecosystem, is creating the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform. The platform is based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP(S) user interfaces. Portions of the source code are already being moved to open source, under the Eclipse Public License. By mid-2010, this process will be complete.
Capricode looks forward to improve the fluency and efficiency of SyncShield product development within the Symbian platform, as the source code and other relevant information are provided effectively and more openly by the new Symbian Foundation. The Symbian Foundation membership makes it also possible for Capricode to better influence the future development of the Symbian platform.
As a member of the Symbian Foundation, Capricode gains the immediate right to license the Symbian Foundation platform, royalty free and without source code fees; to participate in working groups and in the governance of the foundation; and to participate in joint marketing and branding campaigns.
