Why choose Symbian OS as a development platform?

0

Because Symbian OS is written in C++, it is a fully object-oriented operating system. This contributes to its flexibility, efficiency ,and ability to re-use segments of the code. Clearly defined APIs allow the large developer community, including terminal vendors, to create applications that can be easily downloaded, installed, and run natively on the terminal Symbian OS. Symbian C++ APIs enable extremely efficient multitasking and memory management. Processor-and memory-intensive operations such as context switching are minimized. Symbian OS is primarily event driven rather than multithreaded, potentially saving several kilobytes of overhead per thread. The event-driven Symbian OS doesn’t need any context switching and can have an overhead as low as a few tens of bytes.
