From
Palm OS to Symbian OS: Making the Switch Thinking about
switching from Palm OS to Symbian OS? The proliferation of
smartphones has made it necessary to build many wireless
applications from the operating system on up and Symbian OS
seems to have this market cornered. This two-part series
outlines the differences between developing for Palm OS and
for Symbian OS. So if you do decide to switch, you'll know
what to expect. |

Java ME Java
Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) provides a robust, flexible
environment for applications running on mobile and other
embedded devices—mobile phones, personal digital assistants
(PDAs), TV set-top boxes, and printers. Java ME includes
flexible user interfaces, robust security, built-in network
protocols, and support for networked and offline applications
that can be downloaded dynamically. Applications based on Java
ME are portable across many devices, yet leverage each
device's native capabilities.

Software Design Techniques What every wireless software
developer should know (5/02) Developing applications for
devices with limited resources requires skillful developers
who are willing to learn and understand how the wireless
environment operates, and able to make intelligent decisions
regarding software architecture and performance issues. The
purpose of this article is to enlighten you about concerns you
should keep in mind when developing J2ME applications.

Symbian
OS: supporting packet-switched networks The introduction
of packet-switched 2.5G and 3G networks, which bring with them
the promise of always-connected devices, has built up a great
deal of expectation. This paper examines the opportunities for
new revenue streams in packet-switched wireless networks and
the key role played by Symbian OS phones in driving this
market.
Symbian
OS reference designs Symbian OS is designed for optimal
flexibility, giving mobile phone manufacturers broad scope for
differentiation and innovation in user interfaces, hardware
designs and connectivity. Read more on how flexibility of UI
system was one of the very earliest design goals of Symbian
OS.
Symbian
OS phones Mobile phones are highly personal and varied.
Products available today, such as the Ericsson R380 Smartphone
and the Nokia 9210 Communicator show the diversity of mobile
phones that can be created with Symbian OS. Check out the full
list. |

Network
Programming with J2ME Wireless Devices The wireless
devices such as cell phones and two-way pagers keep their
owners connected to the outside world at anytime from
anywhere. They offer great connectivity that other types of
devices couldn’t offer. Application development for these
wireless devices is going to be in great demand for the next
couple years. Network programming plays an important role in
wireless application development to take advantage of the
connectivity these devices have to offer... |
