S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 is the latest enhancement of the popular S60 3rd Edition software for smartphones. Demonstrated at the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, the Feature Pack 1 offers new features that enrich the user experience with browsing, location capabilities and device management functions.
A single browser now supports both the Full Web and mobile-optimized content. Browsing has been enhanced with a variety of features, such as auto complete, password manager and a floating toolbar that gives quick access to the most-used features. Advanced device management features enable businesses to manage add-on applications remotely, and the full featured location middleware in S60 makes it possible to efficiently create location solutions. In order to support a superior user experience, new practical features have been introduced in Feature Pack 1, including audio messaging, a video ringtone, an animated screensaver and multiple alarms.
“S60 has an integral part to play in creating a compelling user experience on a mobile device. S60 is what makes the smartphone smart,” said Matti Vänskä, Vice President, Mobile Software Sales and Marketing, Nokia. “With the new Feature Pack 1 we provide our licensees with functionalities to meet the growing demands placed on smartphones. We are delighted to see new S60 devices from multiple licensees demonstrated at this event.”
Feature Pack 1 is backward compatible with S60 3rd Edition, and applications developed for Feature Pack 1 will also run on 3rd Edition based devices.
