"Ugh, this is just downright depressing no matter how you spin it. Sure, it's just the reality of business and all, but it's no fun to hear that 270 staffers will soon be looking for employment when UIQ Technology finishes climbing into the grave. After hacking 200 jobs in June and being coined \"dead\" by Sony Ericsson's Patrick Olson, All About Symbian has it that the company has put its remaining employees \"on notice of dismissal.\" We're told that SE has agreed to \"continue funding the company on a by month by month basis in order to allow it to investigate options for the future,\" but from the outside looking in, we'd say the outlook is bleak. Thankfully, it sounds like those affected will at least be assisted as they exit, but now would probably be an opportune time to shed a tear for UIQ as we knew it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
