Symbian的历史说起 Symbian我们必须提到PSION (宝意昂)公司和它的EPOC操作系统， Symbian正是由它们发展而来的。 Psion公司于1980年创立，创始人为David Potter。

Symbian继承了EPOC OS的核心，所以操作系统最初也是延续EPOC v.5而命名的Symbian OS v.6，当中最积极开发的是NOKIA，先后推出过9210 Communicator、7650、3650（行内称为「圣火令」，及N-Gage等。而Symbian OS v.7.0的面世，更是增强对多媒体、多语言、 3G （W-CDMA）及JAVA MIDP2.0等的支持，例如Sony ...

To take on Windows CE, Epoc could not rely solely on strong technology; it would need allies. Last year, Potter put together a consortium, called Symbian, to which he sold Psion's Epoc technology.

Oh, how times have changed. Symbian, the once shining star in wireless, has now fallen out of favor. For example, in addition to Symbian's EPOC OS, Nokia is endorsing the Palm OS for its ...

The new sales took Symbian's EPOC operating system into the lead with 34 percent of the handheld computer market, displacing Palm OS to second with 29.9 percent.

The first Symbian product - presumably a new version of Epoc - is expected to be launched in 1999, according to Ericsson and Nokia.

The EPOC operating system evolved into the Symbian OS, now owned by a joint venture involving Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Siemens, Samsung and Motorola.

When I pick up a phone based on Nokia’s Symbian operating system, I get a little teary. (I exaggerate, but only a smidge.) Symbian is the modern-day descendant of Psion’s wonderful EPOC PDA OS from ...

Symbian was set up in the hope of creating a common software platform built around Psion's EPOC operating system for what it calls “wireless information devices”.

The version licensed by Symbian is a customised and updated version of that port, said Opera chief executive Jon von Tetzchner. "We're working on Opera 5.0 for EPOC," said von Tetzchner.

The folks behind the Symbian operating system (which incidentally, started out as the EPOC operating system that powered early Psion handheld computers a decade ago), recently ported Symbian to ...
