Fears about deals between Symbian partners and Palm Computing stem from misunderstandings about the company's background, Psion chief executive David Levin says.

Symbian was formed by Psion, Ericsson, Matsushita, Motorola and Nokia to develop Psion's Epoc32 operating system for new mobile platforms.

Motorola and Nokia have both also licensed the user interface of Psion's arch-rival Palm Computing.

Levin pointed out that Psion itself has development agreements with Palm. He told BBC Online that the aim of Symbian was to develop software for communicators, phone pads and mobile phones, and its remit did not extend to the user interface.
