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.

It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
