Nokia Symbian^3 UI demonstrated in detail, seeks multitouch devices (video)

Nokia Vice president, David Rivas, was once in San Francisco yesterday plugging Symbian^3 enhancements. Whereas we've were given heard plus seen a large amount concerning Symbian Three's enhanced user experience already, it has continue to worthy up of a added in-depth appear contemplating Symbian's dominant marketshare. Besides, David provides a particularly detailed look as he walks us though components simply prefer the legal customizable (and more finger friendly) homescreens intended to supply easy accessibility to call features and at-a-glance information. Rivas additionally reiterates speed improvement claims over existing S60 Fifth devices (about a 3x improvement in graphics performance) which tend to be meant to "very awfully pleasantly surprise" users. Naturally, a faster UI coupled along allowing for a Symbian device running on something better compared to ARM Eleven also could be enough to facilitate these -- Nokia's purely Cortex A8 device is the N900 running Maemo, no longer Symbian. David takes a veiled shot at Microsoft's new WP7 platform once discussing Symbian's true multitaking capabilities while not any or all "tricks" -- apps are literally running during the background, not just freezing his or her state until you come back.
Multitouch screen management on capacitive and resistive ( really?) touchscreen presentations with Canopy Flow-like album art navigation? Yup, it is all in readily available, as are hundreds of usability improvements (and fewer nags!) that ought to bring Symbian^3 up to the extent of what everybody expects up of a fashionable smartphone, according to Rivas. In different words, we'll need to attend for S^4 on early 2011 devices to detect any genuine innovation. While the measure demo was run on a portable, we tend to suspect it will not be long until Nokia starts showing off its live OS on a production handset. Until then, take a look at the video once the break -- it's all we've got.
