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.

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.

    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.
