Symbian OS is an operating system designed for mobile devices, with associated libraries, user interface frameworks and reference implementations of common tools. Mostly regarded as the competition of the other mobile operating systems, for example Windows Mobile, Palm OS or Linux. Symbian OS has a microkernel architecture, which means that the minimum necessary is within the kernel. It contains a scheduler and memory management, but unfortunately there is no networking or filesystem support. These functions are provided by user-side servers.
