    Uploaded by

    Harbir Singh Khalsa
    Symbian OS originated from Psion's EPOC operating system for PDAs in the 1990s. In 2000, Psion partnered with mobile phone companies to form Symbian and continue developing the operating system, renamed Symbian OS, for smartphones. Symbian OS became the leading smartphone OS with over 67% of the market share, competing against other platforms like Windows Mobile, BlackBerry OS, iPhone OS, and Android. It went through several versions that added features like Bluetooth, 3G, multimedia support, and security improvements. By version 6 it was considered an "open" OS with published interfaces for third-party developers.

    SYMBIAN OPERATING SYSTEM

    Presented By:
    Arvind Kumar
    Roll.no.0838131001
    BRIEF HISTORY OF SYMBIAN
    Handheld devices evolved in the late 1980’s as a means to capture the
    Usefulness of a desktop device in small , mobile package. Handheld devices
    also grew to embrace communication . In the 1990’s, Psion Computers
    manufactured devices that were PDAs. In 1996, Psion started to design
    a new 32-bit operating system that supported pointed devices on a touch
    screen , used multimedia and was more communication rich. The new
    system was also more object oriented , and was to be portable to different
    architectures and device designs. The result of Psion effort was the introdu
    ction of the system as EPOC Release I. EPOC was further developed into two
    more releases: EPOC Release 3 (ER3) and EPOC Release 5 (ER5). These ran on
    new platforms like the Psion Series 5 and Series 7 computers.
    HISTORY CONTINUES………
    Psion also looked to emphasize the ways that its operating system could be
    adapted to other hardware platforms. Around the year 2000, the most
    Opportunities for new handheld development were in the mobile phone
    Business. To take advantage of these opportunities, Psion and the leaders in
    the mobile phone industry, including Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and
    Panasonic formed a joint venture, called Symbian, which was to take
    ownership of and further develop the EPOC operating system core. This new

    core design was now called Symbian OS.
