Symbian OS, the leading mobile operating system for the next generation of smartphones, is at the heart of the Series 60 Platform, the Series 80 Platform, and the Nokia 7710 widescreen smartphone. Developers who wish to take full advantage of the capabilities of Symbian OS and the platforms designed for it will create applications in C++. CodeWarrior® Development Studio for Symbian OS is the leading integrated development environment (IDE) for C++ development for Symbian OS devices.

CodeWarrior Development Studio for Symbian OS is available in three editions, designed to serve the different needs of developers — those who create aftermarket and other applications, as well as engineers who build next-generation devices. Personal Edition is ideally suited to the creation of third-party applications for Symbian OS devices. Professional Edition offers additional tools for working with prototype devices and mission-critical applications. OEM Edition provides developers with all the tools they need to create sophisticated Symbian OS devices.

Application creation is assisted by platform and device SDKs that integrate directly into CodeWarrior Development Studio for Symbian OS. These SDKs facilitate application testing on a PC — without the need for a device — using emulators for the Series 60 Platform, the Series 80 Platform, and the Nokia 7710 widescreen smartphone. The SDKs also provide full APIs, documentation, and example applications that make the creation of applications with Symbian OS technology as straightforward as possible.
