    But who the hell would want that sandpit? As a (used to be) developer I'd have to think hard whether I'd want to make apps quickly for Android and Apple that have sane programming models vs the scream that is Symbian. Symbian systems lock up less and allow concurrent execution, but that doesn't matter for a developer trying to get people to buy.
