Demonstrated at the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 offers new features that enrich the platform and thus the user experience with browsing, location capabilities and device management functions. S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (demonstrated on Nokia N95) is readily available for S60 device manufacturers, and at the Symbian Smartphone Show three licensees are showcasing devices based on Feature Pack 1.
A single browser now supports both the Full Web and mobile-optimized content. Browsing is made more compelling with a variety of features, such as auto complete, password manager and a floating toolbar that gives quick and easy 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. To support the superior user experience there are practical new features in Feature Pack 1, including audio messaging, a video ringtone, an animated screensaver and multiple alarms.
Feature Pack 1 is backward compatible with S60 3rd Edition, and applications developed for Feature Pack 1 will run also on 3rd Edition based devices.
