Introduction 1-3

A History of Innovation

Symbol Technologies was founded in 1975 and the first Symbolmaker generator film masters were produced. In 1980, the first hand-

held laser bar code scanner was introduced. By 1990, Spectrum One

became the first commercially available, transaction-oriented

spread spectrum wireless LAN network. 1995 brought the introduction of Spectrum24

, the high-performance 2.4 GHz wireless

network designed to comply with the IEEE 802.11 international standard for airwaves communications.

In 2004, continuing to find more efficient ways of working and engineering information technology into new ways of thinking, Symbol

introduced RFID technology integrated with a mobile solution to expand and improve the general functionality and performance of

the entire mobile application. Also in 2004, Symbol introduced the first in a new family of durable enterprise digital assistant (EDA)

products specifically designed for business essential applications within the enterprise environment. Targeting the growing mobile

enterprise market, the new Symbol device was created for mobile workers within organizations that are seeking to capture, move

and manage information at the point of business activity in order to increase productivity and efficiency, while improving customer

responsiveness and satisfaction.

As technology advances, Symbol continues to invest in strategies for growth and profitability, including technology development to

assure our future leadership in products and systems, expansion of our distribution network, and measures to improve our operational

effectiveness.

Enterprise Mobility

Today, when people, assets and information are in constant motion, companies across all industries are beginning to understand the

competitive advantages that enterprise mobility solutions can deliver.

Having access to the right information at the right moment makes all the difference to a retailer monitoring inventory, a delivery

person tracking a package or a doctor following a patient's progress. Without the latest data, progress can stall, delays can occur and

costly mistakes can be made.

Symbol's enterprise mobility solutions continuously deliver real time answers to real world business problems, empowering people

to make informed decisions that move business forward.

Symbol's enterprise mobility solutions enable some of the world’s leading companies and ultimately:

• Enhance the retail experience by giving customers on-demand access to product and store information as they shop, and

giving sales associates access to real-time customer and inventory data at the point of service.

• Boost worker productivity by linking managers and associates in the field, on the retail floor, in the warehouse and on the

loading dock.

• Improve the ability of healthcare providers to make more informed decisions, by giving them access to medical charts, vitals

and lab reports from patient's bedside.

• Reduce inventory shrinkage and out-of-date products by providing the most current information about customer buying

patterns.

• Manage and control the entire enterprise mobility solution including security, upgrades, maintenance and performance from

an easy-to-use, anytime, anywhere Web-based interface.

DOS to CE

Despite advances in operating system technologies and the increasing adoption of wireless technologies throughout the global

business environment, many enterprises using mobile technology have continued to make investments in DOS-based applications.

Although this approach has worked successfully for many, continuing to develop to legacy technologies prevents DOS-based

enterprises from evolving into agile businesses capable of capturing, moving and managing data efficiently.

Unlike contemporary operating systems, DOS was designed to perform a single task at a time. A program was loaded from storage

to memory, executed to perform a task, and then exited. The total memory supported was limited to 640KB. The user interface was

character-based; mass storage was limited; and mobile technology was not yet available. Since multimedia was in its infancy, no one

imagined that Web browsing, video display or audio output would be possible, let alone widespread, on devices.

With the advent of the Microsoft Windows CE operating system, the world of mobile computing changed for the better. Graphical

user interfaces (GUIs) made applications easier to use. Increased memory and storage space in Windows devices led to more

functionality being available on devices, which in turn resulted in increases in end-user productivity. Windows CE provided the ability

to add new technologies to devices without having to rewrite applications. In a nutshell, Windows CE provides a more advanced

toolset and a larger development community. This is why Symbol chose Microsoft Windows CE as a development platform, and

Symbol Mobility Developer Kit as the tool to write applications for that platform.

SDK to SMDK

Prior to the introduction of the SMDK, each Symbol device required a dedicated C Language SDK to write applications for that device.

Using the device specific SDK approach, by the end of 2004, more than 100 SDKs would have been supported out in the field.

In addition to managing a large number of device specific SDKs, problems arose due to potential SDK conflicts across devices, no

central ownership, a different look and feel for each SDK, and requirements for supporting additional languages such as Java, C# and

VB.NET.

To enhance the customer experience, the Symbol software team developed a "common" SDK model for Pocket PC 2003, Windows CE

4.2, Mobile 5.0 and Windows CE 5.0 devices. The new SDK model takes the traditional device-specific C Language SDK and splits it

into two separate products:

• a "common” SDK, called the SMDK for C, used for developing applications

• a number of DCPs, one for each type of device, used for deploying software.

Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 devices do not have DCPs.

The SMDK for eVC4 contains all of the files necessary for creating applications for Symbol devices. It includes an API reference guide,

a set of sample applications and the Symbol library files.

The DCP contains all of the files necessary for customizing the Platform and Application partitions of a device. It includes a utility

program that allows users to customize and load HEX images and documentation describing how to use and configure the device and

its accessories. Some DCP releases include a utility program that allows users to create REG files for setting device options.

Due to the high demand for additional programming models, Symbol now produces SMDK products for C/C++, Java, .NET and the

Web.

This new SDK model provides a set of tools that are more flexible, allowing customers who simply want to load devices to do so

without having to install third party developer tools and a full SDK. It also allows customers to create applications for a wide variety

of Symbol devices using a single developer kit.
