SF's Symbian Two (Symbian^2; S^2) Specifications Draft is Now Online Steve Litchfield of AAS notes ... >> Symbian has made available the first draft of the overall top level specification which will make up Symbian^2 ('Symbian Two'). There are several points of interest to pick out, notably the processor support, FAT (file system) performance improvements, the 'Graphics' support, the integrated SQLite and the fact that screen size is still fixed at 5800/N97 level [nHD: 640x360]. Nothing earth shattering then, but still nice to see Symbian being so open about everything. ### The Symbian^2 Draft Spec ... developer.symbian.org A Few Highlights: --> ARM Processor Family Support * ARM9E (ARM9E - ARM Processor Family) * ARM11 (ARM11 - ARM Processor Family) * ARM Cortex A8 (ARM Cortex-A8 - ARM Processor) * ARM Cortex A9 (ARM Cortex-A9 Single Core Processor - ARM Processor) --> Input Methods * Touch Screen * Full Qwerty * Half Qwerty * Keypad * Combined input (Keypad/Keyboard, Keyboard/Touch) * Basic tactile feedback support --> Graphics * Bitmap font * Vector font support with advanced font effects * 2D and 3D graphics support:OpenGL ES & OpenVG --> Input Methods * Touch Screen * Full Qwerty * Half Qwerty * Keypad * Combined input (Keypad/Keyboard, Keyboard/Touch) --> Telephony * Multimode Etel (2.5G / 3G / 3.5G) * SMS (3GPP TS 23.040 V6.5.0) * EMS (3GPP TS 23.040 V4.5) * SIM Application Toolkit * SIM and USIM support * GSM Phase 2+ * WCDMA (3GPP R4, R5 and R6 IMS support) --> Packet Data * HSCSD * GPRS, classes A, B and C (R97/98) * EDGE (CSD and GPRS) * HSDPA / HSUPA --> WLAN * Hotspot Framework * 802.11 b/g/n * 802.11e (partially) * 802.11i * WMM * WPA/WPA2 --> IP Telephony (VOIP over SIP) --> Real-Time Media Sharing --> Symbian SQL * Integrated SQLite client/server database optimised for mobile (performance, robustness on flash media etc) --> Standard C Support --> Basic Std C++ support --> Lots More (see spec) Schedule of Product Development Kits for Symbian^2 developer.symbian.org PDK 2.0.d is available now.
