AT&T Sidestepping Google ; Eyes Symbian

molotovjester writes: "In what is surely going to be a slap in the face of Apple, AT&T is eyeballing the Symbian platform as a smart-phone os for an army of new handsets it expects to make up the majority of the market by 2014. Is this move too little too late compared to Google's Android, will Apple open up its iPhone platform, or will dreams of electric sheep be dreamed up by the majority of cell phone users? I wrote an analysis of the industry players as of mid-November, but it will be interesting to see what AT&T does and see how it changes the mobile ecosystem."
