The following are examples of problems that can arise with untested software: • The software may be denied access to encrypted files. • Pointsec Mobile must close most applications when locking, and untested software may not handle restart properly. • The software may create files that unintentionally become encrypted. A common example is .txt files used for logging. Unintentionally encrypted files may prevent the software from working properly, but can be worked around by placing the folder containing such files on the exclusion list.

  • 1 Smartphones and Symbian OS
    1 Smartphones and Symbian OS Symbian OS is a full-featured, open, mobile operating system that powers many of today’s smartphones. As these smartphones become more pow- erful and popular, the demand for smartphone software has grown. Symbian smartphones are shipped with a variety of useful pre-loaded and targeted applications, which are selected by each phone’s manu- facturer. Today, the average Symbian smartphone ships with over 30 pieces of third-party software pre-installed. However, the exciting aspect of Symbian smartphones is that they are ‘open’, meaning that users can further customize their phone experience by downloading, installing, and uninstalling applications written by third-party developers (or by the users themselves). Users can download applications from a PC to the smartphone through a link such as USB, or Bluetooth technology, or over-the-air via the Internet. With the largest installed base of smartphones worldwide, Symbian OS offers a great opportunity for software developers to establish them- selves in the mobile market by creating novel and exciting software for the growing mass of smartphone users around the world. There is a growing list of Symbian applications available as freeware or as paid downloads on numerous Internet sites (http://www.handango.com and http://www.epocware.com are good examples). They range from pro- ductivity, entertainment, navigation, multimedia, and communications software to programs that can count fast food calories, improve your golfCOPYRIGHTED swing, keep diaries, and calculate MATERIAL foreign currency exchange. And business opportunities aside, sometimes it’s just plain fun writing your own code to run on your own smartphone.

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.

  • Flexible User Interface - FLUSI
    School of Mathematics and Systems Engineering Reports from MSI - Rapporter från MSI Flexible User Interface - FLUSI Jan Conrad Jan MSI Report 06010 2006 Växjö University ISSN 1650-2647 SE-351 95 VÄXJÖ ISRN VXU/MSI/DA/E/--06010/--SE Flexible User Interface FLUSI Jan Conrad Abstract The cellular phone network has been increasing rapidly during the last years. For many people the mobile phone has become an every day gadget with a wide performance and functional range. The usage of technologies like GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE and UMTS as well as the bandwidth of networks and consequently the connectivity of the phones has also increased persistently. Coming along with that, three technologies, which are ubiquitous or pervasive computing, mobile and wireless networks and location-based technologies, are making rapid progress. The aim of this thesis is to offer an architecture for a location-based user interface in the intersection of the three technologies mentioned above. The system should work with a minimum of special hardware requirement. Not to overload the user with information, the user interface should be adaptable, context-aware and location-based. The context-data should remain extendible and adaptable. II Acknowledgements I would like to thank some people who helped and supported us in writing my thesis. First, I am grateful to Jesper Andersson. He has been a continual support. He was always available for me and inspired me with many relevant and useful ideas and critics. Secondly I thank Marcus Edvinsson who introduced me to the XAP-System. Last but not the least I thank Mathias Hedenborg and Maria Karlsson who made this thesis possible.

  • When Choosing a Method of Mobile Data Access, First
    Murder M for dial “ ” Murder Maybe M for M for “ ” dial dial “ ” [ Product Analysis ] ayb M e WHEN CHOOSING A METHOD OF MOBILE DATA M ACCESS, FIRST KNOW YOUR USERS. THEN CHECK OUT OUR ROUNDUP OF SMARTPHONES AND for WWAN PC CARDS TO HELP ENSURE A GOOD FIT BY PETER RYSAVY AND DAVE MOLTA We had to cram a lot into this article—the devices and platforms we’re evaluating could fill an entire issue. IT pros wading through piles of “marketecture” from carriers looking to pro- vide wireless data access—for a price—can likely relate. In “Dial M for Maybe” (page 31), we discuss whether mobile users can really enjoy ubiquitous access to enterprise applications and data. Our take: More so than last year, but still less than we’d like. To find out what today’s wireless data net- works can—and cannot—do, we evaluated perform- ance of a trio of PC Card modems from Cingular Wireless, Sprint/Nextel and Verizon Wireless on EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), CDMA2000 1XRTT and EV-DO (Evolution-Data Only) networks. We also evaluated the latest crop of smart- phones—from Nokia (Nokia 9300 designed for GPRS/EDGE networks), Sprint (Treo 650 running “ 1XRTT), T-Mobile (RIM BlackBerry 7290 running ” www.nwc.com I 10.27.2005 I NETWORK COMPUTING 41 dial GPRS) and Verizon (Samsung i730 running EV-DO, they are becoming indispensable tools. And in some 1XRTT and Wi-Fi)—to determine their strengths and cases, they can be used as wireless modems for lap- weaknesses in wireless data accessibility.

  • Implementation and Management Simple, Affordable and Available
    SIMPLESimple, Affordable and Available SIMPLE: Implementation and Management When implementing a strategy to mobilize corporate e-mail, attachments, calendar and contacts, there are several factors to consider depending on the project requirements, budget and current IT infrastructure and resources. Although these factors will vary from corporation to corporation, secure, wireless and direct push synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is now possible without the typical middleware servers and recurring services fees commonly associated with today's alternatives. In fact, with the introduction of Exchange Server 2003 SP2, Microsoft has added a powerful set of new features like Direct Push, GAL look-up and Remote Wipe, all in one highly scalable and easy to manage solution. The following diagram outlines the recommended network configuration when standardizing on Exchange ActiveSync connectivity via RoadSync on a non-Microsoft based device.

This is the same secure and trusted connection used for Outlook Web Access from a kiosk or home computer.
