We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Symbian",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Development suite unites key technologies from
ARM, which we summarised at the time by saying "Enables developers to use a single set of tools from architectural exploration, through SoC design, system bring-up and the deployment of hardware and virtual platforms".
The day before,
we featured the news release High-speed processor suits new handsets from
STMicroelectronics: "The STn8815 platforms for Symbian OS/S60, Linux, Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded CE include all the necessary software and middleware modules".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Trolltech
concerning its Qtopia Phone Edition
- take a look at Chinese smartphones adopt Linux platform
which says: "Qtopia Phone Edition extends the flexibility and cost-savings benefits of Linux to the mobile market, serving as an alternative to proprietary software platforms".
Take a look also at the news release from Coverity, Software spots C++ faults,
as well as Power amplifier module covers five bands from Anadigics,
and Alliance supports Symbian Java development from Esmertec.
