Mobile phones are now inthe category of essential needs, as technology is advanced, mobile phone is nowan unavoidable gadget.
Abaft of Tech savvy, mobile phones are also handy forcommon peoples. It is now not just a device to call or attend calls, it is apersonal assistant, which entertains us, remember our schedules, store the verydata which we need, helps to connect to the network and even money transactionis also possible without a credit card or a paper cash. The more the facilitythe simpler is the interface and this simple structure is due to none otherthan the
operating system in the mobile phone.We all heard about GNU/Linux, MSWindows, MAC OSX and we are handy with these things, but when it came to mobilephones we cannot use these operating systems as the memory is very small. Herecomes the man of war – SYMBIAN operating system.Symbian is a joint venture of the major cellular companies, but themajor stakes are with NOKIA. Ericcson, Fujitsu, Kenwood, Motorola, Panasonic,Siemens, Sony all most all the top models are using Symbian operatingsystem. We cannotallow our mobile phones to boot every time when we log on our phone, so to keepout the process the power must be full. To keep this Symbian is
designed sothat the power management is excellent in Symbian. It needs very low processorcomputation speed. Event Driven messaging technique is used in Symbian so thatwastage of processor computation is not happening. The main goal is to bereliable. If the data is crashing, we will lose the faith. But Symbian is designedso that data crashing will never happen in ordinary condition. This operatingsystem is completely designed under C++ and not even a bit of memory is wastedin the processing and scheduling of Operating System. Symbian is more compatiblethan other OS. It can simply coordinate with input devices like numerickeyboard, keyboard, touch screen etc. It also supports all most all wirelesscommunication standards. It will work smoothly with GSM, GPRS, WAP, CDMA, WCDMAetc. It has backward compatibility so that it can work with 3G and 2.5G.Microsoft is also now aiming the mobile OS market. Let us see what will be thefuture!
