Symbian finally gets in touch
Am I the only one who feels that this is long overdue for Nokia? Oh well, better late than never: The Symbian Series 60 has finally gone touch!

At the recent Symbian Smartphone Show held in London, the Finnish company showed off its new S60 touch-screen interface that adds several features to the handheld platform. It includes support for tactile feedback, the ability to run existing S60 apps without modification and detection of motion, orientation, proximity and light, as well as the ability to display Flash videos on the S60 browser.
The new technology is expected to be available to device manufacturers sometime in 2008, though it's unclear when it will reach the consumer market.

UIQ (www.uiq) has recently been spun off from Symbian (bought by SE and now co-owned by SE and Motorola) and Nokia is developing plug-ins directly for Series 60 v3.
So, it's not really an "at last", is it?
It's more of a "it was always there, I want a story..."
You would expect Crave to do some research first.
