Symbian was an operating system used by EPOC processor devices from 1998-2013. Symbian devices are generally backwards compatible with J2ME (.JAR/.JAD) programs, but J2ME-compatible devices aren't necessarily compatible with Symbian (.SIS) programs. The Symbian system additionally includes the Nokia N-Gage, a gaming-focused Symbian handheld. Symbian software was distributed on floppy disks, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM which would then be inserted into a computer for transfer to the device. Redump.info only handles the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM software, whereas the floppy disks are handled by other projects such as TOSEC and No-Intro.
