Symbian v9.5Ok guys, the CTIA is over, leaving us with many, many @LINK0@. Among the most important ones is the release of the Symbian v9.5. If you’re still not familiar with what will the updated version of the best and most-widely used mobile OS (I love the way it sounds) bring, I would suggest you to read our @LINK1@. I’ll just use this opportunity to emphasize one thing – it will bring even more multimedia and connection features to the already powerful Symbian devices! Plus, it will be the first mobile OS to support the @LINK2@ for smartphones.

In the other Symbian news, Nokia announced its music-dedicated @LINK3@ model, we have two Nokia N76 @LINK4@ @LINK5@, and the N95 is already @LINK6@ on T-Mobile UK, and is set for @LINK7@ in the States…

That other mobile OS (I think it’s called Windows Movile or something), generated more news. After all they still have a lot to catch-up. Guess Will will rant about that. I would mention @LINK8@, the best WM-powered device on the market, which aims to re-define the word “mobile”. :)

It’s kinda funny. One thing I’ve expected hasn’t been announced – first Service pack for “that other mobile OS”. Maybe Will has more information about that? Huh, Will? :)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Does anyone have a link to some screenshots of v9.5?

    Well, there are no screenshots. Symbian works similarly to Linux. It has its core (that’s the actual Symbian OS – think of it as a kernel), and the software platform on top of it – S60, UIQ or MOAP. The latter also includes the UI.
