Samsung L870 with Apple's Safari browser
I find it hard to leap with excitement when people talk about the Safari browser but I suppose when it’s on a mobile phone I should show some appreciation. Hurray. Was that enough?
It seems that Samsung has struck a deal with them at Apple to launch phones with Safari for easier surfing on the infoblob and this has been heralded by the announcement of the Samsung L870…
S60 Summit 2008: Innovate
1324: After a lengthy lunch and demo session, my laptop is fully charged again, ready for Lee Williams, who is the Senior Vice President for S60 Software at Nokia. Grabbing my attention, he claims that mobile internet is a ‘geek’s wet dream’. It helps the user with day-to-day activities.
1335: Williams describes Python, which allows you to innovate and design applications ‘out of the box’. Williams mentions their attempt at acquiring Trolltech, as they want to preserve these investments for the future. Web Run-Time is the most sophisticated mobile engine, he claims, although Microsoft’s Silverlight and Adobe Flash are also mentioned as being other companies Nokia has struck up relationships with. Nokia recognises the importance of what these companies are doing in the innovation space, and they hope to integrate them more so into their S60 platform…
S60 Summit 2008: Reach
1015: José Antonio Moujadami, who is the Head of Applications and Open OS Devices at Telefonica, takes to the stage. He believes that hybrid applications in mobile devices are even more important than in PCs, due to the higher diversity of platforms, amongst others. Mobile devices are always connected, in contrast to PCs, however issues such as limited memory and browsers need to be addressed in order for growth to appear.
1023: Hybrid applications, on the S60, Windows Mobile, and Linux operating systems include binary compatibility, web based UI such as html and flash, scripting and access to native capabilities. As an operator, Telefonica is aware of mash-ups, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and other web 2.0 applications, and is started to provide APIs for future hybrid applications to deliver capabilities for mash-ups with telecom services and internet services…

Make some phat drum 'n bass mixes with the BeatEd app for Nokia S60 phones
Those Nokia handsets that run on the S60 OS can do anything, I’m now convinced.
The latest addition to the ‘but wait, there’s more!’ list is the rock’n’roll drum machine freeware application BeatEd, which was created by a musician so as he could play his guitar with a backing track on his mobile.
The app has 16 different drum tracks, plus 16-channel….

Analyst claims Apple may take issue with Nokia's new touchscreen S60 mobile
Everyone’s competing with Apple in touch-sensitive interfaces, and if they’re not already, they’ve got a team of crack scientists working on it in super-secretive laboraties far, far away. It’s only fair that Nokia wants a piece of the smeary-fingerprint-pie, reportedly working on a new S60 handset which’ll feature a touch-screen.
However, analyst Richard Windsor claims Nokia may have some difficulty releasing the handset, as due…
Nokia getting in on the touchscreen thing with updated Symbian S60 OS
Buttons are so last-generation right now. Nokia’s rather awesome S60 Symbian mobile phone operating system is getting upgraded to feature modern, fashionable, stylish touchscreen capabilities, in a move that’s sure to have Apple quaking in its boots – or at least consulting its lawyers.
The one particularly innovative feature Nokia’s revealed is support for tactile feedback, with users able to feel a satisfying vibration when selecting an option. Existing S60 3rd edition apps will run on the new system…
