Symbian Ltd. recently announced the launch of Symbian OS v9.5, the latest evolution of the world’s leading operating system for smartphones. (The last upgrade to V9.3 was in July 06. Don't not know why v9.4 was skipped.)

Symbian OS v9.5 brings high performance features designed for richer consumer and enterprise experiences as well as significant savings to phone build costs and time-to-market, delivering a truly scalable mobile operating system for the global market. Symbian OS v9.5 is the result of continued deep collaboration with Symbian OS licensees, the world’s leading handset vendors, and its user interface platform partners MOAP, S60 and UIQ.

With over 110 million Symbian smartphones shipped, high smartphone growth in developing markets and increasing mass market requirements, Symbian’s addressable market is broadening across segments and regions.
