EMCC Software Anticipates Symbian Foundation Will Stimulate Greater
Industry Growth

Manchester, UK - 27th June 2008. EMCC Software, the mobile software
development specialists, welcomes the recent announcement of the Symbian
Foundation (http://www.symbianfoundation.org/). The formation of the
Symbian Foundation Platform will bring standardisation and increased
certainty to application creators wishing to develop solutions for all
Symbian handsets. EMCC foresees a significant reduction in platform
fragmentation that will mean a combination of reduced time to market,
wider addressable markets for new products, plus reduced porting and
testing costs for the leading Smartphone platform in the mobile
industry. This should also result in a significant number of new players
licensing the new open source platform from the Symbian Foundation for
an even wider range of products.

EMCC is a strong advocate of unified open source software written to
common coding standards being freely available to all and applauds this
very bold initiative by the major asset holders in the Symbian
ecosystem.

"The reduction in fragmentation brought about in the common platform
will allow a significant reduction in costs to our customers who require
their applications and technology implemented on a range of Symbian
devices" said Leigh Edwards, CEO. "The establishment of standards and
commonality is of critical importance to the development of any
technology industry but especially in communications based software.
Placing such a vast amount of software assets into the hands of the
whole mobile industry on a royalty free basis will create changes of
seismic proportions. EMCC is delighted by this announcement and plans to
be a very active participant in the new Symbian Foundation."

OS please contact EMCC at info@emccsoft.com.
