http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/symbian-ftw.jpg (http://twitter.com/Symbian/status/8588362025)Oh, Symbian, you tease! For an organization as committed to openness and sharing its roadmap (and its code) as the Symbian Foundation (http://mobile.engadget.com/tag/SymbianFoundation/), it's pretty unusual that they'd be counting down to a big unveiling of anything -- but sure enough, they've been tweeting decreasing numbers with the hashtag "#symbiancountdown" starting back on January 26 with 108. Today we're down to 12 (it's hard to say what sort of jacked-up counting system they're using here) with a note of "what will tomorrow bring?" so it looks like we can expect this all to go down in just a few short hours. One thought is that they could announce that Symbian^3 has gone Functionally Complete, a key milestone in getting it pushed to devices -- but that's a shot in the dark. Don't disappoint, guys.

Update: Looks like it may be the full source (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100204/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_symbian_free_phone_software) for Symbian^2, the Foundation's first open release.Symbian's revealing something tomorrow, but what?
