RIP UIQ
The UIQ operating system, a variant of Symbian that has been used on Motorola and Sony Ericsson handsets is now officially dead. The demise of UIQ was a given once Nokia spun off the Symbian Foundation to promote the S60 version of Symbian that all but knocked UIQ out of the water. The official end of UIQ comes as all 270 employees have been given notice that the company is closing. Sony Ericsson will support them on a month-to-month basis to help sell the company and also help employees find other jobs in the industry. RIP UIQ.
