From now on, DoCoMo expects that most or all of its new 3G handsets will run on either Linux or Symbian OS, a spokesman said. Vendors will be able to decide which operating system they adopt.
The company is not pushing development of any other operating systems, he said. "To tell you the truth, we don't like... and we don't have a plan to invest in Windows. Windows is not for the mobile space, the files are big."
DoCoMo also announced three new handsets that are compatible with the new platform. The N901iC by NEC and P901i by Panasonic use a Linux version of the platform, while the F901iC by Fujitsu uses Symbian.
The handsets announced this week are the end results of two joint projects to develop phones based on the common software program: one between DoCoMo, NEC and Panasonic; the other between DoCoMo and Fujitsu.
