EPOC is a range of operating systems developed by Psion for portable devices, primarily PDAs.
EPOC is a pre-emptive multitasking, single user operating system with memory protection, which encourages the application developer to separate their program into an engine and an interface.
EPOC was originally developed for the ARM family of processors, including the ARM7, ARM9, StrongARM and Intel's XScale, but can be compiled towards target devices using several other processor types.

 EPOC - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about EPOC
EPOC is licensed by Symbian, a company founded in 1998 by Psion and mobile telephony suppliers Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Matsushita (Panasonic), Motorola, and Siemens.
EPOC is a modular OS, allowing great flexibility for the designers of the devices that make use of the system.
Because of this great flexibility, EPOC is used in many more devices than is first obvious.

 EPOC (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EPOC is a family of operating systems developed by Psion for portable devices, primarily PDAs.
However, one of EPOC's characteristics is the ease with which new GUIs can be developed based on a core set of GUI classes, a feature which has been widely explored from Ericsson R380 and onwards.
As of Release 6, EPOC became known simply as Symbian OS.

ER5 is the version of Epoc that Psion plc, the British palm-top maker, is expected to use in the Psion 5mx, a revamped version of Psion's Series 5 handheld computer expected to be announced this week.
Although the European Epoc developers conference was a relatively small affair and independent developers were few in number, most were fervent supporters of the operating system as an alternative to Windows CE from Microsoft.
Epoc includes a set of personal productivity applications, but among the best-liked features of the operating system is the ability to drop the Eikon pen-based graphical user interface and develop an alternative user interface.

EPOC is very different with its file-based System screen, an Extras bar for the programs, and a Control Panel dialog for all the settings.
I think EPOC R5 is superior in many ways to Windows CE 3: the system is more stable, more compact, and has much more functionality.

A "cache" is an area of computer memory (either held on a chip or else on a hard disk) that is used to temporaily store data files in order to increase the speed of access to them.
Not to be confused with the technological infrastructures of computing and telecommunications networks, cyberspace is hence best understood as a mental land of shared ideas with the defining purpose of enabling human beings to conceptually and usefully get a grip on the pet ghosts in their machines.
Developments in ubiquitous computing -- such as multimodality interfaces -- thereby involve making technology conform to human requirements (as opposed to VR developments, which could be argued to involve making human beings enter and conform to the requirements of computer systems).

 Software Magazine - Pervasive Computing Era
The emergence and employment of certain standard platforms, specifically the Windows CE, Palm, and Symbian EPOC computing platforms, along with the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) specification, now make it possible for some classes of corporate developers to build business applications where the end-user client is some type of handheld, intelligent device.
For corporate IS, "pervasive computing" basically maps to handheld devices supporting data input, storage, and output, and some type of visual display, along with Internet and e-mail access, with personnel productivity applications (contact management and scheduling at a minimum) thrown in to boot.
Although it is firmly entrenched in the computational end of the computation-communication continuum, it is positioned for multiple device types (set-top boxes, etc.).
