Symbian OS Set Free, Now Open Source

By Dena Cassella February 3, 2010

Today, the world’s most popular mobile operating system—Symbian OS—went completely open source, giving away billions of dollars worth of code for free. The Symbian Foundation, which was established by Finnish handset maker Nokia in 2008, decided to make the mobile platform open so that any individual or organization could use it, work on it and modify for whatever they choose.

“The dominant operating system provider out there is Symbian,” says Lee Williams, executive director of the Symbian Foundation, “and now we are offering developers the ability to do so much more.”

Symbian has played a big role in the mobile community and in total has shipped more than 330 million devices worldwide. The Symbian Foundation was established to help start the process of opening up the platform so it may be governed and used freely. The move for Symbian has been completed four months ahead of schedule and as of today it is ready for people to dive in and make use of it.

What do IP ratings mean? Waterproof ratings explained

Most flagship phones these days boast some level of water resistance, and you'll find "IP ratings" on everything from the Apple iPhone 16 to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. But that got us wondering: Just what do manufacturers mean when they use terms like "waterproof" and "water-resistant?" What constitutes a "rugged" device? Just how many times can you drop your phone in the toilet before you can expect it to bite the dust?

As it turns out, some terms that describe a phone's ruggedness are actually standardized, and there's a whole lot more to them than meets the eye. IP ratings measure a device's resistance to water, dust, and other particles, while military specs describe structural integrity. Some certifications are a little less precise than others, but taken together, they give a rough idea of how the best waterproof smartphones will hold up against the elements.

I already damaged my Apple Watch Series 10

i already damaged my apple watch series 10 dt 1

I don’t think I’m clumsy, but I swing my arms a lot and still grimace every time a smartwatch on my wrist hits an immovable object. Yet, for all this movement, I’ve never managed to deeply scratch or lightly crack an Apple Watch display … until now.

The Apple Watch Series 10 doesn’t have many compromises over the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and I even made the switch permanently before this happened. It’s big, thin, and beautiful, but the Apple Watch Series 10 also uses a less durable protective shield for its display.
