Don’t shy away at the sound of that “S” word. I’ve got some reassuring news for anyone who’s ever thrown their N95 across the room in horror. Starting today, Symbian^2 will be offered as a free open source download for anyone wanting to tinker with it. The details are a bit thin on the ground so far, but at least it shows Symbian is finally starting to view Android as a threat.
Once Symbian^3 is launched later this year, it won’t be quite as attractive fooling around with Symbian^2 behind its back, so best to start early and get in a few months of quality time together before the jealousy sets in. [Wired]

UPDATE: Turns out it’s Symbian^3, initial reports were wrong. Apologies!
