Motorola and Sony Ericsson also plan to significantly increase their cooperation and support for the UIQ developer program. More details will be unveiled to developers at a special event today following a media and analyst briefing.
Both companies have agreed that UIQ will be vendor and chipset independent. In addition, UIQ will be licensed on equal terms to all mobile device vendors in the industry. Sony Ericsson and Motorola are committed to expanding the shareholder base of UI Holdings to include other handset vendors.
I'm sure there's politics involved somewhere. But I'm just happy the platform independent structure and the availability of the development tools is still a priority.

In other Sony Ericsson news - an open letter to the new CEO has been written. And can be viewed and signed over here:
