I was poking thru the (password protected) 2007 S60 summit site and came across this PDF file: Download S60_Summit_Expo.pdf
I just hit gold. This 7 page document gives a summary of what I’m going to be seeing on Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
- Helix Multimedia Engine: Helix makes Windows Media video possible on S60
- Java Mobile Service Architecture: JSR-248
- Message Composing New Look & Feel
- Common composer for S60
- Facelifts of the messaging clients (Please please please let this mean threaded SMS!)
- Nokia Download! is the PC version of the Download! client found in S60 devices
- S60 Mobile Office Suite (Nokia coming out with their own office suite?!)
- There will also be a few companies demoing their contribution to the S60 ecosystem:
- Adobe will be showing off Flash Lite
- Freescale will have a video telephony S60 reference design
- LG will bring the KS10 JoY
- Samsung is bringing these models: SGH-D720, SGH-D730, SGH-Z600, SGH-i520, SGH-i400
- TI is promising to show a "5 second full OS boot time" on one of their processors
- Samsung will also be showing off their S3C6400 processor which can do everything except laundry. It looks like a serious competitor to TI’s OMAP 3420, however the power consumption may not be up to par since it’s a 90 nm solution versus TI’s 65.
- STMicroelectronics will have their Nomadik STn8815 processor. This is a gut feeling, but I think this is the chip inside the Nokia 8600.
- A few demos from various universities around the world and Nokia NRC will also be at the summit!
Looks like I’m going to be taking quite a number of pictures and writing until I get carpal.
I’m officially pumped. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping tonight and hopefully that should make sleeping on the 10 hour flight across the Atlantic easier.
