Good news. but that would mean no more A-series high end phones in the future as they will be replaced by android with much better hardware. SE can easily apply their knowledge in java development in that field as well.

After ditching Symbian UIQ...it's a great move for SE to try something else.
Would they still be doing Symbian S60?

Can someone please explain what we can expect from SE Android devices that we can't expect from say Symbian or WM.
Thanks

This just another false dawn,
will mess about with this then drop it when they finally realise their SW developers are just as inept with this as they were with UIQ.
IMHO a Linux type OS is the way to go, it will allow for really creative application development, but not with Apples "Kiddys Crayon " style of interface please, we need handwriting recognition not old fashioned screen tap input methods.

@Nitro fan: in case you have forgotten, android OS development mainly involves java programming. given the sheer number of java developers inside SE community and with the open sourceness of the OS itself. it's almost impossible to think that SE will met the same problems as they encountered with UIQ and WM.

android OS development mainly involves java programming
some people can understand this as "Android is written in Java" which is not true. to make things clear:
software development for Android OS mainly involves java programming

News such as this is always good to hear. But I would also like to see SE's tinkering with Symbian. Hope it can at least be on par with Nokia and Samsung's incarnations

Dammit...could of won some bets on this......
RE: SE and OSs...so far, they've shown they can skin WM ~as well as any other manufacturer(bearing in mind no-one seems to be able to fully rework it(/hide WM itself), to date), I've also heard someone saying they've played with an Alliance(S60-based) handset, and thought it was still running UIQ(which is intriguing in itself
)...so it's quite possible they can do something good(yet typically 'SE') with Android, I'd say...lets see what transpires!
