Vonage launches new iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry AppsDecember 30th, 2009 - 11:41 pm by Wajiha H.
All three of the Nokia’s famous platforms will be getting S40 platform alongwith getting touch screens, dual-SIM and QWERTY keyboards, while Symbian and Maemo will get new interfaces with improved speed and multi-touch. Nokia thinks that 2010 will see a rise in Maemo’s position as an ultimate phone OS, due to which many devices will be sold by 2011, compared to the current status of the platform. With Maemo 6 will come multi-touch support as well.
 To date there has been many attempts to create an S40 handset with a QWERTY keyboard but that wasn’t materialized. Touchscreens and dual-SIM phones is breaking new ground for Series 40. Many of these improved devices will surface in 2010 along with the new Symbian and Maemo devices. Nokia maintains that Symbian is their smartphone platform of choice, keeping Maemo to high-end "mobile computers". Many people are of the view that S40 is here to stay as Nokia wants multiple platforms to cover all the market segments for mobile phones, instead of stretching one platform from the low end to the high end. It does sound awesome that a new interface for Symbian is coming up sounds great, but for S40 they say in 2010 they will "bring touch interaction on top of Series 40's recently renewed user interface". That sounds a lot like what the touch-enabled Symbian was at first a non-touch UI with touch capabilities added. Now S60 was designed to be operated with a keypad, so merely adding touch capabilities resulted in a subpar touchscreen experience, which attracted a lot of criticism.
