| It's commonly known that mobile industry is quickly developing now. The smartphones have also taken their important place in the variety of possibilities given by the cell phone application developers. In this respect it's hard to overrate the role of Symbian operating system. People that are acquainted with the underlying mechanisms of Symbian operating system activity confirm that the system takes responsibility for the promotion and improvement of the efficient cooperation of all the mobile technologies. The quantity of phones that run Symbian operating system is increasing as time goes by, and today their number is considerably higher than 32 million. Although the majority of end users do not pay particular attention to what operating system is installed at their cell phone, it's really important to realize that the operating system has a considerable impact on the way of the smartphone operation and all the applications installed. The role of operating system on a cell phone can be briefly explained by fulfilling the below mentioned tasks: - First of all, the operating system should make it simpler for the application of the smartphone to use the hardware and the network of the phone; - In addition, the essential task of OS on a mobile phone is to avoid conflicts between various applications. In case there are a wide variety of applications on the smartphone, there is a necessity for the most sophisticated OS. It concerns specifically the situation when the software on the mobile phone is provided by different sources, such as: - Applications from the supplier of the operating system - Applications given by the manufacturer of the smartphone - Applications given by the operator of the network - Applications from the corporate information technologies department in relation to the smartphones that are applied for business - Applications given by the third parties - Applications purchased or downloaded by the end consumer. Taking into consideration that the software developers are particularly interested in having their software installed on the phones of different models from different producers, it is rather logical that the software developers concentrate on the APIs (application programming interfaces) given by an OS, not on the phone hardware and networks. It's considerably more beneficial to develop the applications that can be used on a great diversity of phones and networks. The differences between the phones and networks are taken into consideration by the OS, not by the developers of applications. In this way, the software developers can be sure that their applications initially created for mobile phones from a certain producer can be easily used at the smartphones from other manufacturers, usually without any necessity for changes to the mentioned applications. |
