Samsung has reportedly agreed to a buyout proposition of its Symbian Ltd shares, which means that now Nokia owns Symbian as a whole.

Nokia's plan is to make Symbian Operating System into Open Source to compete against the upcoming mobile phone operating system Google Android, which is open source as well. The new company in charge of the operating system will be Symbian Foundation.

We have analysed Symbian Foundation's plans earlier this year after Nokia announced its plans.
