Sharp to Produce Symbian OS Phones, Release More Internationally.

sharp_sh14.jpg imageSharp had some interesting things to say at its recent press event commemorating its 8th year in the cellular phone market, namely that they hope to increase worldwide sales of their handsets by adopting, at least for market of their product line, Symbian OS. Most of Sharp's current lineup use the venerable ITRON embedded OS (and will continue to). Also notable was Sharp Communication Systems' President Masafumi Matsumoto's detailing of Sharp's heavy investment back into its own product, estimating that 40 to 50 percent of Sharp's phones are constructed from components developed and produced by Sharp themselves. "If the cellular phone enterprise expands," said Matsumoto," we can also expand our other device enterprises."

All this is to say, Symbian is growing stronger each day, as a platform -- and more importantly, we might start seeing some of those hot Sharp phones released worldwide.
