London -- Symbian, a developer of operating system software for smartphones and other portable devices, announced a partnership with America Online where AOL will develop its wireless instant messaging services -- AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ -- as well as its predictive text input software, T9 Text Input, for Symbian OS mobile phones. AOL will also develop content-based services and applications for Symbian OS.
