Today i opened my mail box and i received this:
"Dear Zi,
Please be notified that Telexy Networks, Inc. discontinues further development, support and distribution of SymSMB product line.
Two of Telexy Networks programmers worked full-time for Nokia during SymSMB development. Nokia's employment agreement contains a paragraph stating that "All Proprietary Property which Employee may develop in the course of employment with Company, whether alone or jointly with others, shall be the exclusive property of company...''. Based on this agreement Nokia has demanded all rights for SymSMB.
We offer our sincere apologies to all SymSMB users and those simply interested in the product for any inconvenience. On the other hand, this can be an opportunity for SymSMB technology to be incorporated into all Nokia smartphones and become a differentiating feature of S60 platform. Telexy team is ready to provide any support Nokia may need.
If you like this idea you can share your opinion on our forum: forum.telexy.com
Telexy Networks is currently considering opportunities for new products and business ideas. We are open for discussion (business@telexy.com).
Sincerely yours,
Telexy Networks, Inc."
A few months back we saw Telexy slowly closing down their site, rumours back then were that Telexy got so fed up with users cracking their software they wanted to "handle the matter seriously". They even put that up pn their site if i'm not mistaken.
Anyway, it's now clear what they were up to, so i guess that means we'll be seeing SymSMB functions implemented into future Nseries devices, cool!

What is cool about that?
The big company is stealing software from original developers. So what?
It is not first time and not the last one. Do you really think that stealing will lead somewhere? That simply means that there will be no farther development for this software and there will be no this software on Nokia phones as well. If someone is planning to have it included on their phone they will buy it legally, not steal it. Stealing is only good when you going to hide it from anyone. :)
Please, i'm sure Nokia has the decency of paying Telexy if they were to "take it away" from them. It's business. For all we know this might be a partnership between the two companies.
There are always two sides of things mate. For every person who uses a cracked version of a software i'm sure there will be other users willing to pay for the application as well.
If things were that bad as you say we wouldn't be seeing countles new applications being developed more than ever in the mobile platform, especially symbian.
i admit it's not "cool" if Nokia is actually stealing their software, but i really doubt that's the case. Anyway it's always benefits us end users to have extra features on a device.
cheers mate, have a nice day!
Actually it's been on the Telexy forums that Nokia literally just grabbed away SymSMB from the developers. But i'm still waiting for a statement from Nokia before jumping into conclusions.
