It's good for developers to get access to S60 Platform Services.

As for me, the most interesting interesting innovation is a new touch screen capability. It gives much more power and space.

You said...
"WRT and Flash Lite developers gain access to S60 Platform Services, allowing them to access the application manager; S60 application data (Calendar, Contacts, Logs, Messaging [SMS and MMS]); device location and landmarks; system information; and sensors."

I have looked at the S60 5th SDK at http://www.forum.nokia.com/document/Web_Developers_Library/ and can't find an API for Contacts and Calendar?

That are the great news! And the newly announced Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a good confirmation for the new abilities!

Hi Leonardo,

Regarding Python Interpreter : Well, PyS60 for 5th is not released yet ! But we expect it to be out soon. And if it would be ported to Python 2.5 from the current Python 2.2 version, then Nokia could think about embedding it in the device.

Best Regards,

I was thinking, how would be the interaction between touchscreen phones and non-touchscreen phones (itu keyboards) on S60 5th edition?

Seems that this edition was optimized for touch screen phones.

Great news!
The list of changes brought with S60 v5 is quite impressive (especially for Symbian C++ developers).
It would be funny to compare S60 v5 SDK with iPhone SDK. The last one is just miserable :)

Symbian OS v9.4 is S60 5th Edition

From reading the specs of the new 5800, I find it quite amusing that Symbian OS 9.4 is S60 5th Edition!
