S60 is feature-rich software for smartphones with advanced data capabilities. Based on the Symbian OS, it includes an application suite, user interface framework, and middleware components. The flexibility of S60 allows for a variety of hardware designs and software configurations.

S60 devices include built-in features varying from messaging and calendar to a wide variety of personalization options and advanced web browsing.

The touch user interface in S60 smartphone software offers licensees the opportunity to develop devices with a variety of input methods, whether it is a touch screen with a traditional keypad, touch screen with a QWERTY keyboard or touch screen alone, supporting both finger or stylus optimized input, in addition to the range of access options that already exists today.

S60 touch user interface comes with support for tactile feedback, which means that there is a physical pulse and feedback when the user taps on the screen. This provides better awareness of the device’s response.

Existing S60 3rd Edition applications will run on touch enabled devices unmodified. Tools will be made available for developers to further optimize the touch experience of their applications.

Also, the new UI Accelerator toolkit will allow device manufacturers to develop rapidly and easily impressive graphical effects and new types of interactions, further increasing the user appeal and excitement.

S60 will be the first mobile software platform to deliver the complete Web video experience as Flash Video will be integrated with the Web Browser for S60. This allows people to view on the go Flash-enabled Web sites and Flash Video, such as YouTube, as they would do on their desktops.

Key highlights for S60 touch interface will include:
• It will be able to support devices with and without keyboard, stylus and finger inputs
• It will provide tactile feedback via haptics technologies
• The interface will be multilingual with support Asian languages as well
• Advanced sensor framework and UI acceleration toolkit will be provided for developers for easier adoption
• Multiple gestures will be supported. Possibility for users and developers to customize them provided
• It will be backwards compatible with older S60 applications
• Embedded Flash Lite 3 for desktop like video experience
• First products with touch support will become available in 2008

If everything described in the presentations will become a reality, S60 devices soon will give an iPhone a serious run for the money.

The S60 Touch UI screen shot looks good. The design has big on-screen buttons, clean design, and easy to read menus.

From motion and orientation to proximity and light, sensor technology is expanding to new areas and shaping the future for mobiles. The S60 UI is therefore a revolution waiting to happen.

8 megapixel Samsung i8510 Primera turns out as Samsung INNOV8

Samsung officially announced the Samsung i8510 INNOV8 today – a multimedia monster, which packs top-of-the-range cameraphone capabilities along with Symbian S60 smartphone functionality. And probably the best thing about it is that it will be available in Europe in a few weeks (read August 2008).

The Samsung i8510 INNOV8 (previously rumored as Samsung Primera) has a name that seems really hard to pronounce, but in fact it’s the word INNOVATE with some untraditional spelling. We’ve already reported of a live preview of the device, you can check it out here, but here’s the official scoop.

Probably the biggest asset of the i8510 INNOV8 is its 8 megapixel auto focus camera, which has some advanced features such as face recognition, smile and blink recognition, auto panorama mode and geotagging. Unfortunately, there is no xenon flash, but only a dual power LED setup. The camera will be able to record video in VGA resolution at 30fps along with slow-mo QVGA video, which will be captured at 120fps.

THIS IS A LIST OF SOME AMAZING PHONES EXPECTED TO HIT THE MARKETS IN 2008-10

1. Nokia 888 Communicator


Nokia definitely has the most interesting concept phones. Nokia 888 Communicator is a striking futuristic concept phone. The phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touchscreen and touch-sensitive body cover,is designed by Tamer Nakisci and won the Nokia Design Award


2. Nokia Aeon


Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their website in the Research & Development section. What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually go into production next February. Of course, its just a rumor, but still, makes us hope to actually see it someday in the
GSM shop. All we know about it for now is that its a touchscreen phone and it looks fantastic

3. SKY”SLEAK AND SLIM”

“Sleek & Slim” from SKY is another concept based on touchscreen technology. The phone has a discretely glowing touchpad, hideaway keys and generally utterly-fashionable minimalist design.

4 . BENQ-SIEMES”SNAKED”
Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a “reptile” looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.

5.WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET CONCEPT
One thing is for sure about this concept phone they could’ve named it shorter. Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone’s name comes from the fact that this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera, instead it uses a transparent frame. And of course, interaction is made through a touchscreen



6 . RETROXIS BY DARK LABEL
If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we’ll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive.

7 .BENQ-SIEMENS “THE BLACKBOX”
Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the fun ctions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.

8 .NEC TAG
Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user’s arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.


9 .
TRIPLE WATCH
Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.
