For the moment, we’ll restrict ourselves to the popular stylus PDAs from the company Palm and the Psion Handheld PCs.

Reproduction of this paper, in any form, in whole or in part, without written permission of Symbian Ltd, is prohibited. Designing for Quartz Martin Tasker, Head of Technical Communications, Symbian Ltd Summary Symbian’s Quartz design, for a tablet communicator, presents many new opportunities for application development. Successful applications must be designed both for the device, and for its end-users. This paper covers the design decisions underlying the new Quartz GUI, and shows how the standard guidelines are implemented by the built- in application suite. Finally the author considers how to migrate two of his own applications, the Solo Ships and Battleships examples from Professional Symbian Programming. This paper is based on material prepared for the Wrox Professional Wireless Developers Conference, Amsterdam, July 2000.

Boudreau Submitted to the Sloan School of Management on 3 May 2006, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract "Systems" goods-such as computers, telecom networks, and automobiles-are made up of mul- tiple components. This dissertation comprises three esssays that study the decisions of system innovators in mobile computing to "open" development of their systems to outside suppliers and the implications of doing so. The first essay considers this issue from the perspective of which components are retained under the control of the original innovator to act as a "platform" in the system. -

SYMBIAN OS Embedded Operating System
Adamson University 900 San Marcelino st., Ermita, Manila 1000 SYMBIAN OS Embedded Operating System Operating Systems Prof. Antonette Daligdig Atienza, Lemuel Jay Bacarra, Dan Paolo Dulatre, Michael Angelo Jimenez, John Edward Llorca, Bryalle November 2009 Table of Contents I Introduction II Origin/History III Characteristics III.a. Processing III.b. Memory Management III.c. I/O : Input/Output IV Features V Strengths VI Weakness VII Example of Applications where the OS is being used VIII Screenshots I Introduction More than 90% of the CPUs in the world are not in desktops and notebooks. They are in embedded systems like cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, camcorders, game machines, iPods, MP3 players, CD players, DVD recorders, wireless routers, TV sets, GPS receivers, laser printers, cars, and many more consumer products. Most of these use modern 32-bit and 64-bit chips, and nearly all of them run a full-blown operating system. Taking a close look at one operating system popular in the embedded systems world: Symbian OS, Symbian OS is an operating system that runs on mobile ‘‘smartphone’’ platforms from several different manufacturers. Smartphones are so named because they run fully-featured operating systems and utilize the features of desktop computers. Symbian OS is designed so that it can be the basis of a wide variety of smartphones from several different manufacturers. It was carefully designed specifically to run on smartphone platforms: general-purpose computers with limited CPU, memory and storage capacity, focused on communication. Our discussion of Symbian OS will start with its history. We will then provide an overview of the system to give an idea of how it is designed and what uses the designers intended for it. -
Linux on the Psion Netbook HOWTO Last Modified 9 July 2006
Linux on the Psion netBook HOWTO Last modified 9 July 2006. Changes. Copyright © 2003-2005 www.openpsion.org (http://www.openpsion.org) - The OpenPsion Project. All rights reserved. This document contains information on how to get a Psion netBook to boot up the Linux operating system, how to subsequently configure the system, and how to obtain, install and use applications suitable for the netBook’s limited resources. This document also contains notes on the remaining problems at the moment, and instructions on such things as compiling a custom kernel and assembling a custom OS.IMG file. Framebuffer support is implemented, and X windows is supported. Compactflash, PCMCIA, and touch screen are rudimentarily supported. Many wireless PCMCIA cards will work fine; indeed, in general most PCMCIA devices (16-bit PC Card only!) will work fine. The touchscreen patch is relatively new. The only hold up to a fully functional, operational linbook seems to be that no power management is available (you can’t turn the linBook off!). There is no support for sound yet. Other useful hints may be found on the Linux on Psion 5MX HOWTO (http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/series5mx_new/index.htm). The netBook and 5MX systems have considerable similarity. Offer (May 2006): An infrared modem is offered for free (shipped anywhere in the world) to anyone who posts a patch for the netbook kernel that enables infrared. However, a patch for proper PCMCIA support is considered more critical and will take precedence if posted prior to, or within a few days of, the infrared patch. Please send inquiries or patches to the OpenPsion mail list. -
