Motorola solidified Java's hold on the fast growing smartphone market
when it decided today to shift away from Symbian and to other OS such
as Linux. Although this is not a major blow to Symbian, this does show
that the OS may become commoditized in future in the handset market,
an event that will impart greater importance to J2ME.

Motorola remains a Symbian licensee, and today reiterated that it will
continue to support the OS. But the implication is that it will only
do so if specific customers require it - something less than the
wholehearted endorsement of the OS that it has offered in the past.
Indeed, it now believes Java is the future, and while Symbian provides
a host for Java apps, so do other smartphone operating systems. "We
believe Java is what ultimately provides our customers worldwide with
the most optimised and differentiated mobile experiences," said Scott
Durchslag, corporate VP of Motorola's Personal Communications Sector,
in a statement.
