Briefly, it looks like SE is trying to unload a white elephant, having failed to make it a hit. See
here for a more thorough opinion.

that link you supplied has arguments both for and against, it's by no means conclusive.
SE actually move towards a more open development structure and you say it's a sign of the Death of UIQ. If they keep it to themselves, you anti-UIQ mob say it will die from lack of application support.

Not necessarily the death of UIQ.
Taken together with the announced uiq 3.1 intentions, it suggests apparently reduced support
by SE for existing uiq 3.0 flagship phones, which, after about 6 months, are only now reaching the state buyers expected at launch.

Well said koolezt,
and as i said if it was so good why the need for other investors why not just license it and rake in the royalties. Instead of just attacking my opinion explain why this should be necessary as it does not make good business sense to me. Yes i dare criticize SE for their actions but if you are going to disagree please go a bit further than i am wrong and actually explain why i am so wrong if you can, and wait and see really doesn't cut it as a response IMO.

I did tell you what I think. I said they are doing it to get decent application support.
They need this so that they can compete with s60 on availability of software. You can't sell a platform if their is bugger all software for it. They also want to increase the marketshare of UIQ, which in the long-term can only help the platform for all involved.
You yourself didn't give a lot of reasoning beyond some kind of blind faith that not keeping it to themselves is bad business. That is not a fact it is only opinion.
I have a different opinion, with quite sound reasoning behind it. So I welcome you to tell us why you think it's bad business to open UIQ up to third parties?
