Nokia Partners with Apple to Develop New Series 60 Mobile Browser

Nokia is working with Apple to develop a new mobile Web browser for Nokia’s Series 60 SmartPhone, the company announced today.

Nokia says its Series 60 browser - which will use the same open source components, WebCore and JavaScriptCore that Apple uses in its popular Safari Internet browser - aims at an “unparalleled user experience” when browsing full Web pages on a smartphone screen.

The new Series 60 browser will be available to all Series 60 licensees as a standard Series 60 application during the first half of 2006. The browser will support all features of the current Series 60 browser as well as being enhanced with increased performance and exciting new features.

The Series 60 Platform, built on the Symbian OS, is the leading smart phone platform in the world. http://www.series60.com provides up-to-date and unique information about the Series 60 Platform, devices and community, including the latest news.
