SYMBIAN’S INTRODUCTION

 A Symbian-able smartphone is needed, not


every phone can run Symbian as OS.

 The Smartphone operating system Symbian OS


is produced by the software development and
licensing company Symbian Ltd.

 Symbian Ltd was established in June 1998 and


is headquartered in Southwark in the UK, and
the current CEO is Nigel Clifford.
RESEARCH

 We had in mind Symbian’s background, the whole


history and development behind this operating system,
his capabilities, security, performance and so on.

 Hardware support and connectivity were, as well, one


of our research points.

 The native language of the Symbian OS is C++, there


for, our research will passes through the programming
languages that can be used on Symbian.

 The advantages and limitations will be the last tasks


we’ll talk about.
Which evolution in the various
versions
Symbian OS 6.0 and 6.1 :
Bluetooth was added for exchanging data over short
distances from fixed and mobile devices. (2002)

Symbian OS 7.0 and 7.0s :


This version added EDGE support and IPV6. (2003)
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution)
Symbian OS 8.0 :
There are not great evolution has shared some API’s to
support 3G.
Which evolution in the various
versions
Symbian OS 9.1:
Change of version 1.2 for the Bluetooth has version 2.0
where the difference is the introduction of an Enhanced Data
Rate (EDR) for faster data transfer.

Symbian OS 9.3:
The WIFI 802.11 and the HSDPA (High Speed Downlink
Packet Access) appear on Symbian OS.

Symbian Os 9.5:
This last version includes native-support for mobile digital
television broadcasts in DVB-H and ISDB-T formats and also
location services.
SECRRITY
The Symbian security model can be broken down into
three main modules:

1. Trusted Computing Base (TCB)


Kernel, file system and software installer.

2. Data Caging
Protects executables and data files of applications.

3. Capabilities
Define what the application can and cannot do
Future possibilities
The leading mobile OS
 Symbian OS is still the “leading figure” in the
smartphones market and according to Gartner Symbian’s
market share is still the majority with a trend to decline.
Symbian - open source software platform
 Nokia’s buying the rest of Symbian that it doesn’t
already own, and will then create the Symbian
Foundation, in collaboration with a number of other
companies, and make Symbian royalty-free and open-
source.
Implications to the other OS
 The Symbian Foundation stirs up the future of the
open mobile platform space. It does seem fair to draw
the conclusion that the Symbian Foundation puts the
Symbian platform in a stronger position and this will
negatively affect the other players.

Software development
What tools are needed:

Tool name Description


GCC for Symbian Can be used to compile Symbian C++ applications.
Symbian Certificate Manager Allows you to manage your certificates within
Carbide
Symbian DevCert Request Enables you to obtain a Symbian Developer
Certificate

Symbian MakeSIS Allows you to “convert” your c++ programs into .sis
packages, which simplify the installation on other
Symbian OS devices.

Symbian UnSIS Extracts the .sis packages
