Symbian saved? EU
Many people skazywało Symbian to imminent death. On one hand, the pressure from Android, on the other uncertainty as to the existence of the foundation. However, unexpectedly, with the help of the future European Union.
The draft EU decided to allocate 11 million Euro, the remaining amount will come from a consortium of companies called SYMBEOSE complex minutes from Nokia, Symbian Foundaton and 24 others mainly producers of mobile equipment.
Foundation has identified two main objectives for which it will optymilizowany system: better multiprocessing, low power consumption and cloud-computing on mobile devices.
Other objectives of the Foundation:
Kernel:
2.1 - SMP
2.2 - Security and Identification
2.3 - File Systems based in the cloud
2.4 - Acceleration and new video standards
2.5 - Advanced image processing
2.6 - USB
2.7 - Platform other than mobile (Was ports on x86 ppc, and mips?)
Middleware 3.1 - Infrastructure power management
3.2 - Resource Management and QoS
3.3 - Reduce energy consumption
3.4 - Security voip calling from outside the
3.5 - Bluetooth
Applications and Services 4.1 - Migrating session
Web 4.2 - Payment Services
4.3 - Advanced interfaces (sound, gesture)
4.4 - Infrastructure for the service user mode
4.5 - Use the Phone-centric? (Probably a manager calls, sms and mms)
4.6 - Facilitate porting applications from other systems on the Symbian developer tool
5.1 - Profiling and improving applications for Symbian
5.2 - IDE along with a simulator Symbian
5.3 - JIT Compilation
5.4 - Prevalence of low-cost platform for
System 5.5 - Development tools for nieprogramujących users.
worth noting that from the very beginning of Symbian was created in mobile devices, includes extensible object-RT kernel and API based on QT4 (there are also other programming languages \u200b\u200blike Python, Java or. Net). It is also the only fully open mobile system created entirely by the community and the foundation. It is based on the EPL license.
so time will tell whether the money spent on this system will prove only bureaucratic prudence of the Union or to fully develop this concept revolutionary as it did with MINIX.
