I had another thought,
Virtualization, or Hybrid OS...
something similar in the it works with Xperia stacks
stack for Cyber-Shot, another for Walkman, another for Internet browser and so on..
but here every stack is an OS by it self or a special kind of a shell that run on very fast and stable OS, eg OSE
the idea is simple in explaining but hard in doing it
imagine a phone with both Symbian UIQ and OSE A200 operating system, they both running in the same time, you can switch between them on the fly as they are running but holded on a special standby status
in the normal time, the OSE A200 OS will handle the phone managing all it's stuff like contacts, calender, file managing, alarms, camera interface, walkman player, etc...
but when you need more power, functions, like more powerfull applications liek the one found on UIQ platform then the UIQ stack will jump to the screen
both OS's ( UIQ & OSE ) will share the same user resources & settings, like contacts, alarms, settings, calender and so on, both OS's must use a standard way of changing and managing these resources, so if you change a contact in OSE, it will be changed too UIQ as both will use the exactly same database with the same data structure, the same goes for toher resources like calender events and alarms and so on
if the user fires up the camera software, then it will come very fast, as it's already loaded and uses the OSE API's as they are faster, and in background it will load the advanced UIQ API's that cannot be made in OSE, so every thing will be much faster, Symbian UIQ will always be on hold in some kind of a standby status, it's loaded already but not active as OSE is handling every thing, but if the user want it he can bring it back
there's some thing must taken into account for this device
- it's not midrange or low end, it's high end and ultra high end too.
- it's hardware will be more that regular UIQ phone, more RAM and NAND must be added to handle the already loaded Stacks... NAND will be used to store the suspended OS/stack as it will use lower power but it must be fast to quickly transfeer the required data into the RAM when required
- both Symbian UIQ and OSE must be coded to use the exact same data structre for user prefrences and settings, and data can be shared between them too for example copy & paste...
- the hardware must support virtualization so it can handle two or more OS's on the same time and quickly switch between them with a simple command..
- some Stacks will use the faster OS to run, and it may be a standalone OS too if it was faster and better, for example the Cyber-Shot Stack it maybe a part of OSE, or a standalone OS depending on wich is better and faster, if you were in UIQ and decided to take a picture then the Cyber-Shot stack will be active, after the shot and you want to return, the phone will return you to UIQ as you was using it and then it may do what every it do after taking the picture ( nothing, load the Photoedit software, start the messaging system, etc... )
