In a bid to speed up development of the symbian platform Nokia is to skip the offering of symbian version 2 to go direct to version 3 with the multi-touch functions, states Michael Hsu, general manager of Nokia Taiwan. Symbian version 3 will be here for the third quarter of 2010.
Nokia’s QT development framework featured for symbian version 4 will allow developers the ability to develop for both Symbian and Maemo platforms simultaneously.
Nokia will continue with its present categorisation of symbian s40 products at a shipment rate of 35%, symbian s60 will account for 55% of Nokia’s handset shipments, with Maemo at 10%.
