- Jim is missing one essential point.

Dana,
While I have not heard of any official plan to do this, it's a no-brainer to consider that the Symbian platform in its new role could be hosted on top of the Linux kernel. I can't believe that much of the value of the platform resides in the kernel. Symbian + S60 + MOAP, etc. are a really large stack, probably 95% of that is above kernel level.
This isn't to say that I'm suggesting anyone write off Symbian's kernel, which is after all going to become Open Source. Small operating systems have their merits.
