    Symbian is a mobile operating system developed by Symbian Ltd (later acquired by Nokia) used primarily in smartphones. It was developed in 1998 by Psion, Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola. Some key features of Symbian include its client-server architecture, event management, object-oriented design, memory management using virtual pages and frames, and support for multitasking. While strengths include robust memory management and centralized execution, weaknesses include the lack of virtual memory. Symbian was widely used by Nokia in smartphones but has since been replaced by other modern mobile operating systems.

    INTRODUCTION:-

    • Symbian OS is one of Nokia's mobile operating system for mobile devices


    and smartphones, with associated libraries, user interface, frameworks and
    reference implementations of common tools, originally developed by
    Symbian Ltd.

    • Symbian was formed by Psion, Nokia, Ericsson and  Motorola in 1998.

    • First Symbian phone was released in 2000 known as Ericsson R380(by Ericsson)

    • 2.5G phone released early 2002known as Nokia 7650 (by Nokia)

    • 3G phone released in December 2002,3G FOMA F2051 from Fujitsu


    HISTORY:-

    • Psion founded by David Potter inn 1980 launched the PsoinOrganizer, the world's first volume-produced
    handheld computer in 1984.

    • In June 1998 - Symbian is established as a private independent company and is owned by Ericsson,
    Nokia, Motorola and Psion. From this point onwards has EPOC OS been called Symbian OS.
    • In February 2004 - Symbian OS v8.0 is announced.
    • In February 2005 - Symbian OS v9 is announced.
    • In May 2006 - 100th commercial phone model ships
    • In 2008, the former Symbian Software Limited was acquired by Nokia and a new independent non-
    profit organization called the Symbian Foundation was established.
    •  The platform has been designated as the successor to Symbian OS following the official
    launch of the Symbian Foundation in April 2009.

    •  The Symbian Platform was officially made available as open source code in February 2010.
    CHARACTERISTICS:
    • PROCESSING THREAD BASED
    • MEMORY MANAGEMENT
    • INPUT/OUTPUT
    • KERNEL EXTENSION DEVICE DRIVERS
    • DMA(DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS) BLOCKING I/O STORAGE
    MEDIA
    MEMORY MANAGEMENT:

    How Symbian OS Addresses Memory:

    1. Symbian OSis a 32-bit operating system, addresses


    can range up to 4 GB
    2. Symbian OS divides memory into virtual pages and physical
    frames
    3. Symbian OS adopts a two-level page table strategy
    MEMORY MANAGEMENT:
    FEATURES:
    1. CLIENT SERVER ACHITECTURE
    2. EVENT MANAGEMENT
    3. OBJECT ORIENTED DESIGN
    4. POWER MANAGEMENT
    5. ROBUST AND DEPENDABLE
    6. FULL A MLTI-TASKING
    7. AN OPEN OPERATING SYSTEM
    8. MEMORY MANAGEMENT
    STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS:

    STRENGTH:
    •MEMORY MANAGEMENT

    •EXECUTION IN ONE PLACE


    WEAKNESS:
    •NO VIRTUAL MEMORY
    SYMBIAN ARCHITECTURE:
    • Symbian has a microkernel architecture, which means that
    the minimum necessary is within the kernel to maximise
    robustness, availability and responsiveness.

    • Symbian is designed to compatibility with other devices,


    especially removable media file systems.
    • There is also a large volume of User Interface (UI) Code.
    Symbian includes a reference user-interface called
    "TechView".
    • It is very similar to the user interface from the Psion Series 5
    personal organiser and is not used for any production phone
    user interface.
    PLATFORM SECURITY:
    •Trust
    •Access to private data
    •Security
    •Cost control
    •Compromise important telephone functionality
    •Protection
    •Software ownership
    •DRM
    Example of Applications where
    the Symbian OS IS being used:
    • Nokia Series 80 interface

    • UIQ interface(Used for PDAs such as Sony Ericsson P800 )

    • Nokia S60 interface

    • Nokia S40 interface


    DEVELOPING SYMBIAN OS:
    • As of 2010, the SDK for Symbian is standard C++, using Qt. It can be used
    with either Qt creator, or Carbide (the older IDE previously used for
    Symbian development).
    • A phone simulator allows testing of Qt apps.

    • It is also possible to develop using Symbian C++, although it is not a


    standard implementation.
    • Prior to the release of the Qt SDK, this was the standard development
    environment.
    ADVANTAGES:
    • Greater range of applications.
    • High quality games.
    • Better inbuilt wap browser.
    • Connectivity is lot more easier and faster.

    • Real Player, Smart movie player etc. sort of application are not
    available with java phones.
    • You can install software and applications of any type

    • You can download big files through your phone easily


    with 3G around.
    DISADVANTAGES:
    • The OS is not available for PCs .
    • The Symbian OS can be easily affected by a Virus.
    Communication in Symbian OS:
    CONCLUSION:

    In the small and rapidly growing world the need of mobiles and its
    applications are obvious. To meet the users embedded OS are playing the
    vital. To speak in a sentence about Android and Symbian, Android is much
    advanced and provides more value to the end users. Symbian needs updates
    its features.
