But the augmented reality company doesn't exactly sound enthusiastic.
Mobile augmented reality firm Layar has announced that it's about to complete a funding round of more than $1 million, from (as yet) unnamed European investors.
The news came during a panel session at yesterday's SEE Symbian conference in London, reported by VentureBeat.
Layar plans to release its Layar Reality Browser for Symbian next March, although van der Klein's comments that existing platforms iPhone and Android are like two full-speed trains while Symbian is stalled "in a gutter" don't exactly hint at confidence in the platform.
Van der Klein also tells VentureBeat that Layar has already racked up 250,000 downloads on iPhone and Android, and is attracting 100,000 unique users a week.
The company is working with Motorola and Sony Ericsson among other handset vendors to promote its app to their Android users.
