NEWS Sony has teamed up with mobile operating system (OS) venture Symbian. The Japanese giant will license the OS currently owned by Ericsson, Matsushita, Motorola, Nokia and Psion. Symbian's OS - formerly Psion Software's Epoc - competes with Microsoft's Pocket PC OS (formerly Windows CE), and Palm OS. This announcement runs parallel with a major Pocket PC push last week and recent products from Palm and Palm clone-maker Handspring. Until now, Epoc-based phones and PDAs have been thin on the ground. Further details to follow.
