Programming PC Connectivity Applications for Symbian OS: Smartphone Synchronization and Connectivity

Programming PC Connectivity Applications for Symbian OS: Smartphone Synchronization and Connectivity, 9780470090534 (0470090537), John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Welcome to this book on programming PC Connectivity applications for
Symbian OS. PC Connectivity applications based on standard services
and APIs can be created purely by programming on the PC, but more
specialized applications involve programming on the Symbian OS smartphone
as well as on the PC. This book will help you to create both types
of application.

If you have created an application for Symbian OS, have you considered
how to improve its usability by integrating it with a PC? Maybe your
application could support a user interface on the PC when the Symbian
OS smartphone is connected, or maybe your application could store or
archive data on the PC.

If you have created an application for Windows PCs, have you considered
how to improve your application by integrating it with Symbian
OS smartphones? This has been considered difficult and expensive but,
with the information in this book, it can be straightforward. You may be
surprised at the quality of integration you can achieve just by creating
PC software – for example, you could manage media files such as image,
audio and video files just by using the APIs described in Chapters 4
and 5. If your application is more specialized then a small amount of
Symbian OS programming may give you a unique service that increases
its attractiveness (and therefore its sales).

All the examples in this book are of stand-alone PC Connectivity applications,
but this is by no means the only way to create PC Connectivity
applications. We will create a file browser that will provide a convenient
user interface to the filing system on Symbian OS smartphones; we will
create an application to read SMS messages on the smartphone and to
send such messages by means of the smartphone; we will create applications
to directly read and modify the Contacts and Agenda data on
the smartphone.

Amazing Books

The Art of Computer Game Design

McGraw-Hill, 1984

The central premise of this book is that computer games constitute a new and as yet poorly developed art form that holds great promise for both designers and players.

This premise may seem laughable or flippant. How could anybody classify the likes of SPACE INVADERS and PAC MAN as art? How can TEMPEST or MISSILE COMMAND compare with...

Mechanics of Oil and Gas Flow in Porous Media

Springer, 2020

This book discusses various aspects of percolation mechanics. It starts with the driving forces and driving modes and then examines in detail the steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluids, percolation law of natural gas and percolation of non-Newtonian fluids. Progressing from simple to complex concepts, it also...

Gender and Digital Culture: Between Irreconcilability and the Datalogical

Routledge, 2018

Gender and Digital Culture offers a unique contribution to the theoretical and methodological understandings of digital technology as inherently gendered and classed. The silences within, through and from the systems we experience every day, create inequalities that are deeply affective and constitute very real forms of...

The Archaeology of Household Activities

Routledge, 1999

There were a number of chapters I thought were exceptionally well written and researched... valuable reading for all classical and historic archaeologists unfamiliar with Schiffer's work or with prehistoric archaeology, where point pronveniencing, object functions, use of space, and similar foci are routine. Others will enjoy reading Chapters 3 and...

Chocolate Fortunes: The Battle for the Hearts, Minds, and Wallets of China's Consumers

AMACOM, 2009

As China comes into its own as a world economic power, a new, huge consumer class is emerging, hungry for all things Western. In this land where twenty-five years ago most of the population had never tasted chocolate, five icons of Western business are now slugging it out in a battle royal to see which will become the Emperor of Chocolate in China....
