Yesterday we started out easy, taking a peek at the different PIM functions included in S60 5th Edition, using the emulator that’s included in the new S60 SDK, which is normally for developers to use. The emulator runs in a window on your computer, giving a view of the core OS. Today I wanted to showcase the new input methods that touchscreen support has brought us, and why I think they’re brilliant.
Unfortunately, since this is simply an emulator, and not an actual device, I’m unable to comment on the haptic feedback or using this on an actual device. That being said, I think we can get a great picture of how easy and convenient it will be to enter text on any touchscreen S60 5th Edition handset, such as the 5800 XpressMusic, or whatever comes next.
The video’s below, and tomorrow we have a sneak peak at the new web browser, which also got a few really cool updates!
