This is a sneaky pic of the next gen S60 software. It doesn’t show much, but we can assure you the interface is a real leap forward with some slick animation and cool features. Nice.
What does this look like to you? Here, let me help your creative juices flow:
This is Jaiku for S60. Jaiku, for those of you who might now know, is what happens when people who realized that every time you used Twitter god killed an angel decide to take matters into their own hands and create a web service that is actually useful. The second and third avatar in this screenshot are of Jonathan Greene, he did a kick ass video review of the application. Many of us were sad to see Google buy this Finland based company and people wanted to know why Nokia didn’t want to partake in the presence/microblogging revolution. Ever stop and think that the founder, Jyri Engeström, is a former Nokia employee? Maybe he didn’t want to go back?
Now that you’re up to speed, is it just me or do these two screenshots show the exact same thing? I never blogged my thoughts on the Jaiku/Google situation, but people have heard me say in private that Jaiku was not a difficult service to replicate. Google purchased Jaiku for the talent, not the user base.
