Sony Ericsson completes acquisition of UIQ Technology

Following the full regulatory ratification, Sony Ericsson completed the acquisition of the Swedish UIQ Technology AB from Symbian Ltd.
Sony Ericsson is already a UIQ licensee, and has been working closely with the company on UIQ version 3.0, which is included in Sony Ericsson smartphones.
Under the arrangement, UIQ Technology will operate as a separate business subsidiary of Sony Ericsson. UIQ will continue to be openly available, licensed on equal terms to all its licensees. Still, there’s no doubt that Sony Ericsson will be the single largest licensee of the UIQ, and that we’ll see more UIQ 3-based devices available.
