Obviously bright and capable guys in the SOSCO (S60 on Symbian Customer Operations) team have managed to make Symbian S60 run on an off-the-shelf Atom based motherboard from Intel. And while that’s impressive and certainly opens tons of possibilities, considering the capability of the platform, there’s no idea what to do about it. Rather, at this stage Symbian Foundation only tries to get some feedback from the community and explore the various possibilities.
Lee Williams, who wrote the original post on Symbian Blog, finds UI responsiveness and upper application layers impressive. Now the question is what could a smart (or not that smart) OEM make out of it? Some new device? Tablet? Netbook? Any thoughts?

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
