Symbian (Java Vs Symbian)
Symbian is basically Nokia’s personal operating system. But it has also been used by other companies in their devices by signing various deals with Nokia. These companies include Samsung, Motorola, at&t and some others. Symbian has gained much more popularity than java in comparatively lesser time. And now normally people having a little or more knowhow of operating systems prefer symbian over java. The reason behind this fact is that nowadays applications developed for symbian enabled phones are much advanced and efficient than java applications. Moreover, java applications can run on symbian phones but java phones do not support symbian applications. Besides the fact that symbian is a bit better than java, according to 2010 statistics of the operating systems most used by mobile developers, Java was on 3rd and Symbian was on 4th position. This was due to the fact that java is a free operating system and symbian is not. Because of the decreasing prices of Android phones, popularity of symbian is decreasing.
