Symbian

Symbian is the world’s most popular Smartphone platform. It is a real time, multi-tasking OS architected to run well on resource-constrained systems. It offers excellent performance and battery life while keeping the memory usage to the minimum. The platform is fully open source, offered under the Eclipse Public License.

It is implemented in a diverse range of devices and provides a consistent set of technologies across devices. The flexibility of Symbian means that it runs on classic mobile devices, utilising a standard keypad and QVGA screen, through to high-end smartphones that offer touch screens with tactile feedback, full keyboards, and device sensors. Symbian OS supports the majority of multimedia standards. It offers improved sound support and provides control over image resolution and colour depth.

Qt using the Nokia Qt SDK is our preferred approach to Symbian Application Development. The other option is Symbian C++ (using native Symbian and Nokia S60 on Symbian OS APIs), a set of open C and C++ APIs, the Java™ language (using MIDP 2.1 with an extensive range of additional JSRs), Web Runtime, and Adobe Flash Lite. It provides comprehensive support for audio, image, and video formats. In addition, Adobe Flash Lite and SVGT can be used for animated content, while the S60 Browser supports standard desktop web technologies.
