Microsoft and mobile technology company Qualcomm are to form an alliance which is likely to compete head-on with Symbian.
Symbian is a joint venture led by Ericsson, Nokia and Psion, and as of this week, Motorola. Its aim is to develop software for next-generation mobile devices based on Psion's Epoc operating system - the brains of the company's Series 5 handhelds.
The Microsoft-Qualcomm venture - which is expected to be formally announced on 10 November - is likely to seek to develop Windows CE for mobile devices, and find ways of linking wireless and traditional data networks.
The pairing comes just weeks after a leaked Microsoft document revealed Bill Gates rates Psion as the software giant's number one threat.
