Hi All...

IS Symbian on 7650 a Multitasking OS ? Can I program my 7650 with Series 60 SDK to send MMS and at the same time connect to other BT devices (and do some othe thing at the same time?)
Another question, is Symbian OS a event driven system ? or callback? Can the BT by programmed by any sort of polling? Can the BT of 7650 be programmed so that it continosly searches for another BT device and lets me know if it finds one? OR does it has to be like I press some menu, then the BT searches for some other BT device?

Yes, Symbian is a multitasking OS. MMS, BT and audio APIs are not conflicting each other i.e. you can use them at the same time. Symbian OS is event driven. The framework calls your functions and allows your application to do what it wants. Some system provided functions are still called callback functions, but nowadays they are mostly replaced by framework functions which you implement for the system.

You can program Bluetooth module to search for devices periodically, and get information of found devices. So both automatical and user-activated search are possible.
