Nokia Recognizes Symbian To Be Too Slow
Nokia is gong to use 2D graphic accelerators in its mobile devices. At last they realized that Symbian operating system is out-of-date. Lee Williams who is head of SVP R&D and S60 Software Nokia departments said noticed that Symbian runs rather slower than competitive operating systems. Also according to his words Symbian doesn’t need radical changes and there is another way to increase performance. Inability of Symbian OS to compete in performance with Windows Mobile and Linux was revealed by Futuremark as a result of testing of three operating systems. Futuremark’s specialists noticed that devices which run on Symbian take the lead over rivals in 3D mode but they are rather slower in 2D mode.
To solve this problem Nokia is going to use 2D graphic and MP3 encoding hardware accelerators.
So Mobile OS war has been started
