Copenhagen, September 14, 2009 – Vopium today announced that it has joined the Symbian
Foundation, which, together with its ecosystem, is creating the most proven, open and complete
mobile software platform. The platform is based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed
by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP(S) user interfaces.
“The Symbian Foundation welcomes Vopium into the community,” said David Wood, catalyst and
futurist for Symbian. “Applications developers are crucial to creating the richest posssible user
experiences. We are eager to see the innovations that Vopium will bring to Symbian consumers.”

Tanveer Sharif, Vopium’s CEO. “We will now be able to tap right into the Symbiaan Foundation
platform and not least be on the forefront of new OS releases and updates”
