During the 50 minute session the key themes covered were:
|
why develop on Symbian OS? |
Attendees were provided with detailed information on the Symbian smartphone market share, the top-selling devices and the most successful applications that are currently available on the Symbian OS.
With a 72% market share and over 126 million phones, the numbers are pretty impressive... |

the plans for Symbian OS v9.5 and beyond |
We took an inside-look into the Symbian OS product roadmap the enhanced benefits for developers, and what Symbian is doing to help ISVs make mobile application development easier. |
|
how to reduce the effort required to migrate existing applications from other platforms to Symbian OS |
Attendees were provided with a detailed look at P.I.P.S (POSIX on Symbian OS), its components and how it reduces the effort to migrate existing applications.
The relationship between P.I.PS, native Symbian C++ and Open C was also explained with examples of when it's appropriate to use each one.
Finally, using a case study there was a demonstration on how to port an application with useful solutions to common problems when porting code to smartphones.
