Quality is a diverse concept and it can mean different things in different products. Developing a high quality S60 device is extremely rewarding, although it has some challenges. This book tries to guide device manufacturers by providing knowledge on why these challenges exist and how the device program can tackle them. Readers will be provided with a comprehensive understanding on what it takes for companies to implement an S60 based device in a manageable and meaningful way.
Key Features:
The first book to market on S60 smartphone creation and QA is an indispensable resource for hardware and software designers, engineers, developers and manufacturers, as well as operators and service providers creating Series 60 and smartphone-specific services. Students of mobile phones will also find this a useful text.
