All around the world, the Symbian-loving chunk of the population is waiting on the edge of their seats for Symbian^4 (pronounced “Symbian Four”). Intended as a complete overhaul from Symbian past, it could very well slingshot the visibly aged Operating System into modern times.<\/p>\n

The first videos of Symbian^4 have just been released for public consumption, and we can’t help but notice that they seem very.. uninspired. Actually, perhaps that’s inaccurate. They’re very inspired. Directly inspired. By the competition.<\/p>\n

I’m never one to shout that such-and-such handset is a clone of another, but the influences here are undeniable. The widget screen\/mechanism is similar to that of Symbian^3, but nearly identical to Android’s. The photo screen looks damn<\/em> close to the iPhone’s, though they did come up with a fairly slick way of switching from photo to photo. <\/p>\n

It’s certainly a big step up for Symbian — it’s just less revolution, and more emulation. Hopefully they’ve got some tricks up their sleeves planned for the next year of development.<\/p>\n
