On porting of computer applications into symbian cell phone platform

The wide availability of so-called “smart” phones gave engineers the opportunity to embed their software without involvement of manufacturers and service providers [2]. Recently we developed an image processing toolbox for cellular phones for educational and research purposes. The embedding of new applications brought up several implementation challenges which were common. In this paper we review the problems of code development for cell phone platforms. We analyze the sequence of necessary adaptation stages and novel visualization techniques which are required for the adequate representation of two-dimensional floating-point data [1].
