"The intent is to 'timebox' each release by fixing the functionally complete data and including only features that deliver in time at a reasonable stability level," wrote David Wood, Symbian's executive VP for research. "This is the same principle that has worked so well with integrated release of Symbian OS in recent years." He said it will be up to manufacturers whether users of current Symbian-based handsets will be able to upgrade to the open version. Although the program may sound complicated for developers to track, it will allow vendors to react quickly to changes in market demands, and include new functionality in an agile way, says Symbian.
