Abstract

Mobile phones have become a truly ubiquitous computer. As such, it makes sense to target the mobile phone as a computing platform on which to deploy ubicomp applications. Yet, mobile phone operating systems were not originally designed for the vision of ubicomp. As a result, it currently takes a great deal of effort to create prototypes of the seemingly simplest ubicomp applications on mobile phones. In this paper, we describe some of the key issues in current Symbian phones that are restraining the development of ubicomp applications. Any developer planning to write ubicomp applications on Symbian phones should keep these issues in mind.
