Colly Myers: The chap who wrote the first, first Symbian

I was chatting away to Paul at AQA about last night’s HEAD-TO-HEAD and he mentioned that Colly Myers (AQA CEO) and Bill Batchelor (AQA Development Director) were amongst the team that started all the Symbian goodness years ago.

Quoting from an Internet World interview with Colly:

Myers gave up coding in 1996, but the 32-bit version of EPOC he developed formed the basis of the Symbian platform.

Well I never. I never knew that. I’m going to get a list of questions together for Colly as he’s kindly agreed to an interview shortly.

If you’d like to ask Colly a question, post it below and I’ll sort it out!
