Being a Nokia employee I am not allowed to talk about unreleased technology and products. But PhoneScoop.com can and they do review the S60 Browser 2.0 version. If you like your gadgets and you like them to be quickly updated then the new S60 Browser is for you. I recently was able to show off the first edition browser to a games developer and he was blown away. “That’s on your phone?” is about all he could say. The 2.0 version has several great features such as screen rotation options, the ability to save pages for later, icons for favorites and recent pages without reloading. It also integrates SVG-T and Flash Lite 2 which will allow developers to do all sorts of fantastic things. 

 

What makes this all possible is that the new browser is open sourced, so anyone with a great idea can enhance the Nokia browser. Find out how to do this at the S60 open source site for the S60 OSS Browser.  You can get the run down on the Browser and what devices it works on (N95 at this moment) and where it should work soon at the S60 browser web page. For those of us not professionally programming but love our toys, I’m very excited at what Nokia has done. I might even download the web kit and see what I can do.
