Epocware announced that all of their apps are now optimized for the latest, touch-enabled version of the Symbian S60 platform. We’re talking about S60 5th Edition that is used in such devices as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the newly unveiled, full QWERTY-keyboard equipped Nokia N97 smartphone.
Among the apps that are optimized for the platform are Handy Shell, Handy Safe, Handy Weather, Handy Calendar, as well as a number of the company’s SlovoEd-powered dictionaries.
And that’s about all we can say about it. You can check the full catalog of available apps from this page at Epocware’s website.
Actually, EpocWare lists a solitaire game on their page as being 5800-ready, but it’s not. I found this out personally because I bought the game and installed it on my 5800 XM and it wouldn’t work. (It installed, but you can’t play any of the card games.)
I contacted customer support and was told that a 5800-capable version would be released in a month or two. I’m not sure why EpocWare is listing it as already available, but buyer beware.
