The Symbian Foundation is ready to embrace the future. And it decided to share it with all of us. Over the following years we’re going to get a new platform every six months or so. Symbian^N platforms, where N stands for the version number, will be rolled out at a constant pace:

The simplest way to pronounce “Symbian^2″ is “Symbian two”… You can also view the ‘^’ as an upside down ‘v’. So we’re telling the world that, in a way, we are intending to turn versioning upside down – by opening up our roadmap discussions to the entire community.

Symbian^2 is the first one to come out. It’s based on Symbian S60 5th Edition and it will be feature-complete by the middle of 2009. Following its release we’re probably going to see Symbian^2 phones. Symbian^3 is coming by the middle of 2010 while Symbian^4 should be ready before the end of 2010.
