Symbian Testing Facilities - Testing and Debugging with the Symbian Platform

Overview In this tutorial we look at the issues of memory management on wireless information devices and discuss the tools provided with Symbian C++ SDKs to help you ensure your code is sound.

The proliferation of Smartphones and PDAs in recent years, and the increases in the functionality offered by such devices has sparked a wave of interest among software developers. However, the task of writing code for these hand-held computing devices places different demands on the programmer than writing for desktops or even laptops, on account of differences such as memory size, power consumption, processing speed and screen size.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wi-Fi on the fly

With Wi-Fi now being built into almost all new laptops and some PDAs, perhaps I shouldn’t be amazed that there is an increasing amount of radiation in the 2.5GHz (802.11) Wi-Fi band. I later repeated this experiment on a couple of train journeys in...
