I don't what the big deal is with Symbian (I've never seen it) - can anyone clue me in? It just seems to be the new kid on the block (just like Palm OS was in the day). I'm hoping most of these toy operating systems die off within the next few years.

Symbian has been around for quite a while young lad. It's had been used as "EPOC" on psion devices, and before that as OS3 (or whatever they called it). Now Symbian is a consortium of companies that develop a base OS (Symbian OS). On top of that you've got interfaces. The UIQ and Series 60 interfaces are the most prolific. There are the Series 80 and Series 90 interfaces that are closed off and only used in certain symbian smartphones. UIQ and Series 60 phones are found in GSM, wCDMA and FOMA networks around the world Symbian is not going away anytime soon.

Apple should partner up with XM Satelitte Radio and integrate it into their iPods. An iPod with satellite radio would be awesome.
