Krzysztof Kowalczyk comments on a report on sales numbers for PDA/Smartphone devices. The report shows Symbian devices as 53% of the total sales. The next is Windows CE on 24%.

According to a Yahoo comment on the report 50% of data-centric devices, such as PDA's and wireless handhelds, came with Symbian installed and 90% of voice centric devices (ie. phones). That's a pretty impressive market share.

Although I'm not a great fan of the Symbian C++ API (See my previous weblog entry about this) I do like the Nokia 9210 device. And I know that Symbian are interested in having other languages (Like Lisp) available for development on the device.
