As we told you before, Nokia has united few of the people involved in making 5th edition happen, and these have spoken about the platform in a podcast.
You can hear it above, and also download or embed it on your own blog.
A PDF slide is also published, which you can download here, and in the same document, a rumour has come up of a Nokia Communicator with touchscreen.
A touchscreen Commmunicator is inevitable, and would really be a great addition to the manufacturer’s portfolio, especially if it looks that cool, but in the document, it does confirm that it’s just a concept.
The S60 website has detailed descriptions of what will be better and new on the upcoming software platform. The topics are:
The fast and intuitive S60 touch UI
S60 touch UI enables new types of application and mobile device
Simplicity taken to a new level with advanced sensors
Release the creativity with UI Accelerator Toolkit for S60
Input and output methods
Performance
Functionality
Design and usability
Personalization
User enjoyment
Smart simplicity
Expandable experiences.
I do recommend a read on these for you to get to know more about this wonderful platform that hopefully will revolutionize the way people use their phones:
