What is symbian machines?

Symbian was an operating system (OS) designed for mobile devices, primarily smartphones, by Symbian Ltd. It was owned by Nokia until 2011 when it was sold to Accenture. It was initially developed as a joint venture between Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and Psion, and was first released in 1998.

Symbian OS was widely used on Nokia phones and other mobile devices in the early 2000s, but it eventually lost popularity to newer operating systems such as iOS and Android. One of the key features of Symbian was its ability to support a wide range of hardware platforms, making it easy for phone manufacturers to develop devices using the OS.

Symbian machines typically had a user interface that was based on icons, menus, and folders, similar to other mobile devices of the time. The OS had a web browser, email client, and messaging capabilities built-in, as well as support for other third-party applications.

Overall, Symbian was a significant player in the early days of the smartphone industry, but it eventually lost ground to newer and more popular operating systems. As of 2014, the OS has been discontinued and is no longer supported.
