S60 touch UI, as shown during Symbian Smartphone Show 2007.
Unfortunately, it seems to focus mostly on stylus and menu-driven actions, which makes it safer and more traditional, but less competitive with the iPhone and other finger-driven UIs. Or for that matter, UIQ which is also Symbian-based.
Of course, this is a very early look so much can change between now and launch, but I would suspect that Symbian will go and say that they’ve empowered others to innovate on top of their baseline system.
Of course, as we’ve seen with Intel and their MIDs, they know that not many have the resources and ambition to make their reference designs shine, and they’ve had to take on that task themselves. It would be smart for Nokia and Symbian to do the same.
