| | Symbian Os |
 | | Symbian OS provides a suite of productivity tools (spread-sheet, word processor etc.), sync-to-desktop and such, but also, with each new release, is integrating more and more comms protocols over more and more transport technologies (especially wireless protocols), fairly seamlessly. |
 | | Symbian is interesting in that the underlying OS is written in object-oriented C++, and the C API wraps the C++. |
 | | Series 60 and UIQ are very different beasts, although their capabilities are converging and they will soon both use Symbian OS 7 underneath, but it will be a good long time before it's trivial (or even just "not hard") to port programs between them. |
