Question:

Every SIS file in order to be created needs some specifications as to which platform or device it targets, stated in it's corresponding .PKG file. A developer can target a SIS file to a specific product or to a whole range of products. This is achieved by specifying a Product ID, that will refer to either a whole class of devices (based on their GUI), or to a particular product (and possibly variants).

Answer:

A list of Product ID, Platform ID and HAL information is provided on the Symbian Developer Newtork Wiki here: http://developer.symbian.com/wiki/display/pub/Device+vs+Product%2C+Platform%2C+HAL+information
