In May 2011 an update, Symbian Anna, was officially announced, followed by Nokia Belle (previously Symbian Belle) in August 2011. The latest version, Symbian 3, was officially released in Q4 2010, first used in the Nokia N8. Symbian was the most popular smartphone OS until the end of 2010, when it was overtaken by Android. The current form of Symbian is an open-source platform developed by Symbian Foundation in 2009, as the successor of the original Symbian OS.
