Will the relationship between the smart phone software development platform and smartphone operating system?

            


We know that a feature of smart phones is to have a smart phone operating system. The information found in front of said mobile software development platform is located above the mobile operating system that layer structure. So I would like to ask the relationship with the phone software development platform Symbian mobile operating system, for example, and Windows Mobile, can it be said is a software development platform? In addition, brew in the end is a software development platform or operating system?
brew with Symbian difference in where?

Currently looking at this, for these very confused, it helps me look together to discuss, thank you.

Oh, this is not so clearly defined intermediate, different people, different vendors, as well as different viewpoints, will have a different view.
What this argument is not important, it is important to figure out your own the Architecture on it.

Brew is a development platform based on the operating system,
The Symbian operating system.

mobile platform should be a right, you do all kinds of applications in the above, its operating system is windows CE, that is to say his core is windows CE, mobile windows is just a branch of the family only, of course, you can also take advantage of windows CE customize your own platform, including the driver / Media / BSP and so on.

Symbian is an operating system, there should be no wrong man upstairs.

The operating system is used to manage hardware, software to achieve some system functions. Development platform is used to support the preparation of software for software (in fact, it should be said that there is a running platform, is the software used to run the software, usually operating platform will be binding on the operating system). The two are not necessarily linked. Development platform for an operating system, such as S60, UIQ, are for symbian, but there are not for the system, such as J2ME.
