PROFILE |
 |
Symbian knows holding hand(held device)s is the key to a good symbiotic relationship. Symbian (a joint venture formed in 1998 from the software unit of palmtop computer maker Psion) is owned by Psion (28%); mobile phone powers Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia (21% each); and electronics giant Matsushita (9%). Venture partners and licensees such as Philips Electronics, SANYO, and Sony use the company's EPOC operating system as the brains for handheld devices such as mobile phones and minicomputers to access the Internet, receive faxes, and perform transactions. EPOC is the #3 operating system for handheld mobile devices, significantly trailing Palm's system and Microsoft's Windows CE.
