It is the end of the road where the Symbian operating system is concerned for Sony Ericsson handsets, as they will be rolling out Android only in the future. Truth be told, Symbian has been on the decline when it comes to groundbreaking and newer features, with Nokia themselves looking to the MeeGo platform as a possible replacement. Despite having its fair share of success over the years with Symbian S60 handsets such as the Vivaz, Sony Ericsson spokesman Aldo Liguori said, “We have no plans for the time being to develop any new products to the Symbian Foundation standard or operating system.”

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
