Nokia is planning to join the alliance to work on android. Damn. Google has hit the jackpot. After all, Nokia need not pay millions to Symbian if they participate in android development. It could be open source, it could be free, it could be totally customizable with hundreds of apps.

...and a common standard which symbian is *not* and prevents windows mobile from monopolizing the embedded market
