A developer kit lets you create these plug-ins for the web browser. As for office applications, Crystal has onboard support for EPOC Word and Sheet, and a PowerPoint viewer. It also features onboard conversion, so if you receive email attachments, those can be easily opened, converted and even edited and sent back out. With the PowerPoint viewer, once again, if you receive an email attachment you can view these PowerPoint presentations. More advanced functions are accessed through a pull down menu.
Crystal comes with a connectivity suite, which is an extensible framework.
It contains the core functionality of synchronization and has this framework within which extra plug-ins can be developed. Synchronization, backup and document conversion are all supported. Symbian is looking for developers to create extra plug-ins, more PIM support and enterprise focus synchronization products especially for the Crystal reference design. Crystal future Crystal v6.0 has been shipped to our licensees at the same time as Quartz v6.0 was. We have delivered the operating system and our licensees have yet to announce products but these will be launching very soon and you should watch for licensee announcement of Crystal-based products.
