ABSTRACT
Symbian OS is designed for the mobile phone environment. Symbian is an operating system targeted at mobile phones that offers a high level of integration with communication and personal information management (PIM) functionality.
Symbian OS is proven on several platforms. It started life as the operating system for the Psion series of consumer PDA products (including Series 5mx, Revo and netBook), and various adaptations by Diamond, Oregon Scientific and Ericsson. The first dedicated mobile phone incorporating Symbian OS was the Ericsson R380 Smartphone and the recently available is the Nokia 9210 Communicator.
The five key points - small mobile devices, mass-market, intermittent wireless connectivity, diversity of products and an open platform for independent software developers - are the premises on which Symbian OS was designed and developed. This makes it distinct from any desktop, workstation or server operating system. This also makes Symbian OS different from embedded operating systems.
Symbian is committed to open standards. Symbian OS has a POSIX-compliant interface and a Sun-approved JVM, and the company is actively working with emerging standards, such as J2ME, Bluetooth, MMS, IPV6 etc.
This document provides information about what is Symbian OS, its Architecture, features and applications.
