Symbian OS

Symbian OS is the global industry standard operating system designed for mobile phones, and is licensed to the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers.

Symbian OS combines the power of an integrated application environment with mobile telephony, bringing advanced data services to the mass market. The OS is designed with the specific constraints of handheld computing in mind. As a result, Symbian OS is optimized to run efficiently on devices which have limited resources and battery power.

UIQ is pre-integrated and tested with Symbian OS. The services and components in the OS are adapted to the UIQ Application Development Platform. UIQ utilizes the full potential of Symbian OS and will provide a robust and secure, open standard-based platform for both smaller, less expensive, and more capable mobile phones.
