Symbian - Smart Platform For Mobile Innovation: Presented By: Ashutosh Hema Kashyap Neeti Bisht

Symbian is an open platform operating system designed for smartphones that addresses the mass market. It provides robust multitasking capabilities and extensive API support within memory constraints. Symbian uses preemptive multitasking optimized for thread switching and cooperative multitasking for thread execution. The open platform benefits operators, developers and consumers by allowing a wide range of interoperable devices and lower development costs.

Why Symbian??
􀂾 Suitable for Small Mobile Devices

􀂾 Addressing Mass market

􀂾 Wireless connectivity

􀂾 Diversity of products

􀂾 Open platform
OWNERS
Main Facts
• Designed to be used on higher-end mobile
phones (also known as smartphones).
• Open application environment.
• Owned and licensed by most major phone
makers.
• All Symbian OS devices have Java available
on them.
• The higher end devices tend to have Personal
Java .
Features
 Robust

 Extensive API Support

 Multitasking

 Memory less Restricted

 Reusable Code
Symbian Multitasking
• One of the major design decisions taken in developing
Symbian OS was to optimize the system for efficient event
handling from the ground up
• The Symbian OS multitasking description can be explained in
the following way:

– 􀀂 Symbian OS implements preemptive multitasking.

– 􀀂 Preemptive multitasking is optimized for thread switching,


thus the name "preemptive multithreading.“

– 􀀂 Cooperative multitasking is used in the context of thread


execution.
Commercial Benefits
 Operators will benefit from having a wide pool of interoperable
devices, built on open standards. They will be able to select from
a wide range of terminal and infrastructure manufacturers with a
rich set of interoperable solutions.

 In terms of value that operators can add, applications and


content can all be made more cost effectively supplied - given
the common OS shared across phones.

 Developers will benefit from being able to target a greater


number of consumers across one platform. Their porting and
development costs will dramatically decline as the common OS
means that applications will need to be developed once.
Conclusion
 Symbian OS is a robust multi-tasking operating system,
designed specifically for real-world wireless environments and
the constraints of mobile phones (including limited amount of
memory).

 Symbian OS is natively IP-based, with fully integrated


communications and messaging.

 It supports all the leading industry standards that will be


essential for this generation of data-enabled mobile phones.
Symbian OS enables a large community of developers.

 The open platform allows the installation of third party software


to further enhance the platform.
