| Short description
For the year 2003, the worldwide wireless revenue was estimated at $600 billion. The majority of mobile phones on the market are based on Symbian OS, an advanced, open operating system licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers. Inside Symbian OS: Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones, Part 2 describes the new features particular to V7.0 and will provide the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the OS to give developers a thorough understanding of Symbian OS. Its central approach involves describing the interaction between the OS and the application, broadly following the lifecycle of an application. With plenty of code examples, the book will detail advanced features such as user interfaces, files and views, multimedia services, and communications and messaging.
