| The devices which use Symbian operating system |
Symbian Operating system has been implemented on mobile phones and devices for many years due to its user friendliness and features/functions. Symbian allows for quick and simple access of files and applications which are stored on the mobile using the mini qwerty keyboard that are featured on mobile phones. This is how the operating system is used and functions, it allows for similarly functions and features that other operating systems provide such as, sending messages to other people, accessing the internet and saving/loading files which are stored into the built in storage. The operating system has a built in webkit browser which allows users to access the internet providing they are connected to a data connection such as Wifi. Games can be downloaded and installed also, which is another feature of the operating system and is normally included in most operating systems. I will be looking at the operating systems features and functions to see what it provides as a OS.
