CTIA is kick starting tomorrow and Into Mobile’s own Will Park will be at the show, in the mean time Symbian just popped out 2 press releases worthy of your attention. First PR discusses Symbian’s SQLite implementation, which directly correlates to their announcement back in December of last year that they [Symbian] joined the SQL Consortium, that will now go under the name of Symbian SQL. Expect devices with this technology to come out by the end of this year.
Location Based Services, otherwise known as LBS, will also be backed into the operating system therefore decreasing the time to market and complexity a manufacture would usually run into if they attempted to write an LBS implementation for their devices from scratch.
Second PR announces Dolby’s entrance into the Symbian Platinum Partner Program which can only mean one thing: We’re going to see phones hit the market with Dolby Mobile certification.
