Actually, if you take the time to wade through the hideously designed, Flash-ridden and manage to dig through to the actual statement, it reads that the source code will be 100% available “mid-2010”, so it seems they’re ahead of schedule. Any which way, it’s a good move (except for the hideous web design), since it makes Symbian more attractive at the bottom of its value curve (i.e., enough money has been thrown at the platform already and it’s definitely time for Nokia to recoup it via other means and move on). There is, of course, the risk of their running afoul of Android-like fragmentation, but the most likely outcome is deeper penetration at the low end of the handset market, increasing the potential for selling Ovi services.
