S60 5th edition audiocast

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

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.
