“Psion Plc said on Wednesday Sony Corp would license its
software for mobile gadgets, a major coup for the UK handheld
computer maker and its allies in their fight for dominance in the
market.”
“Psion shares jumped nearly 10 percent on news the Japanese
electronics giant would use the operating platform of Symbian, the
consortium grouping Psion with mobile phone makers Nokia, Ericsson
and Motorola.”
“The deal will raise Symbian’s profile in the United States,
where many analysts see the portable device battle as a fight
between Palm and Microsoft.”
