by Martin Tasker
Category: Computers

This work is about understanding and programming the EPOC operating system in C++ and Java. EPOC is a robust 32-bit operating system designed specifically for the demands of mobile computing. EPOC is developed by Symbian, a partnership formed by Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Matsushita and Psion. Since its creation, Symbian has forged partnerships and licensing deals with other industry leaders including Phillips and Palm. Already implemented on hardware manufactured by Psion and Ericsson, EPOC could be the OS of choice for the next generation of smartphones, wireless information devices and handheld computers.
