The book gives an under-the-hood view of Symbian's new real-time kernel. The release of the book is timely because it is then that the first devices containing the new kernel are expected to be released onto the market. The book concentrates throughout on the kernel, pointing out key differences from the old kernel where they affect the target audience. The book's approach is technical, with clear explanations and diagrams. Basic computer science terms are not explained, unless their usage is unusual in Symbian OS. When higher level Symbian OS concepts are mentioned, the book refers the reader to "Symbian OS C++ for Mobile Phones Volume 1" by Richard Harrison
