The UIQ Evangelist

Simply Symbian managed to talk with Elisabet Melin, who among others, explained the situation inside UIQ Technology nowadays. With Motorola now owns half of UIQ Technology equity together with Sony Ericsson, they have expanded their workforce and has around 350 employees. They also have more tasks to do not only to prepare for releasing new UIQ version but also maintaining compatibility with the older versions to ensure applications and frameworks are future proof.

An interesting read I would say, read the whole interview at : http://www.simplysymbian.com/2007/12/13/talking-with-elisabet-melin-vice-president-of-marketing-at-uiq/

According to Symbian official website, Demand Paging enables more efficient usage of RAM by loading read-only code and data only when required (“on demand”).

What is Demand Paging?
-Data must be copied from NAND Flash memory into RAM in order to execute
-Previously, Symbian OS copied entire DLLs into RAM when they were needed
-Demand Paging means that only the required “page” within the DLL is loaded into RAM
-Demand Paging only loads a page into RAM when a reference is made to it (paging on demand)
-Loading by page means less RAM is used at any one time

And if the Opera Mini 4 to be used as a benchmark, then the new Opera Mobile 9 should be THE mobile browser we should be looking forward to.
