  1. Symbian OS Programming Tampere Polytechnic University of Applied Sciences Tony Torp (tony.torp@tamk.fi) www.tamk.fi/~torton The course is supported by the project "The assurance of information technology education quality in the University of Tartu and Tartu Vocational Education Centre". www.mobedu.org

  2. Intro to Symbian OS www.mobedu.org

  3. History • 1980 Psion Ltd. (founded by David Potter) • The main purpose was to innovate and create electronical PDA devices (Personal Digital Assistant) • 1984: first PDA Psion Organizer • 1986 Psion Organizer II • 64kB RAM & ROM • 8 bit CPU • Connection with PC • Programming: Assembler & OPL (Organizer programming language) www.mobedu.org

  4. Psion Organizer II Source: en.wikipedia.org www.mobedu.org

  5. ...history • 1991 Psion Series 3 • 16 bit SIBO-devices (sixteen-bit-organizer) • The kernel was named EPOC (from word epoch) www.mobedu.org

  6. Psion Series 3 OPL contained an editor and compiler for 3rd party SW developers • > possibility to create effective 3rd party applications • > thousands of applications available by different vendors • 1996 Psion Software Ltd. • the main goal was to make EPOC the leading WID operating system of the world (Wireless Information Device) • the goal was also to licenciate EPOC to many hardware vendors www.mobedu.org

  7. ...history • 1997 Psion Series 5 • 32 BIT EPOC –operating system • 1998 Symbian OS founded www.mobedu.org

  8. The simultaneous history of mobile networks • In the 70’s and 80’s the amount of mobile phone users were small • There were many networks of different standards around the world (e.g. NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) in the Nordic Countries) • Kickoff for GSM planning in the early 80’s • July 1991: the world’s first GSM call held in Radiolinja (Elisa) network in Finland • Now: over 1 Billion GSM subscribers in almost 200 countries around the world (and still growing) www.mobedu.org

  9. ... and developement of mobile phones • The first phones were made just for making reliable calls (which was a a real challenge) • Competition created needs for new services • 1996: SMS (short message services) supported in new models • Different ringing tones, increasing amount of user memory etc... • 1996-2000: many new features (e.g. games, tones, calendar, clock, alarm clock, small applications...) • Because of new applications and services the mobile phones started to look more and more a PDA device www.mobedu.org

  10. The fusion of mobile phones and PDAs... • 1997: The first version of new EPOC operating system • Psion Software was named Symbian Ltd. ’The main goal to licenciate the operating system for as many hardware vendors as possible’ • Symbian Ltd. is owned by Nokia (~48% share), Ericsson, Motorola, Psion (the original PDA company) and some others. • Summer 2001: The first Symbian GSM –based PDA by Nokia, Nokia Communicator 9200 www.mobedu.org

  11. November 2001: the first Symbian OS based smartphone were published. Sales started on summer 2002. • Now there are several Symbian OS based smartphones by many vendors (refer www.symbian.com ) • Nokia models can be seen at www.nokia.com/phones www.mobedu.org

  12. Symbian OS • Symbian OS is a global industry standard for mobile phones systems and build especially for mobile devices • Forum established in 1998 and owned by leading mobile phone manufacturers • Symbian offers a de-facto standard operation system for wireless devices www.mobedu.org

  13. Symbian Consortium • Ericsson (15.6%) • Nokia (47.9%) • Panasonic (10.5%) • Samsung (4.5%) • Siemens (8.4%) • Sony Ericsson (13.1%) www.mobedu.org
