Nokia embraces the internet; goes open-source
June 14, 2006 on 5:50 pm | In Mobile News |
By porting the Linux-based Apache web server to its Symbian Series 60 platform, Nokia gradually reaches beyond the walled gardens of telcos, realizing that more and more people are accessing the internet through their cell phones.
According to The Register (through Wireless Watch):
For its next generation high end devices – which the company now refuses to refer to any longer as “cellphones” – to compete with notebooks and become the norm for business access, they needed to offer an internet experience as unfettered, simple and user friendly as that of the PC. This meant adopting, or improving on, the key aspects of that platform – simple user interface, choice of radio links to support the fastest and cheapest connections, IP support, unrestricted web access, and increasingly, open source software options.
Refusing to call its next generation of handsets “cell phones,” the mobile giant recently opened its Symbian 60 technology to developers and in effect set in place a “de facto standard” software platform for mobiles.
The S60 Webkit is available to anyone with an open source BSD license, a highly permissive license commonly used by free software developers worldwide. The kit comes with the sourcecode of the browser engine co-developed with Apple and based on that company’s Safari browser. At this point it does not contain other Series 60 components such as the user interface, allowing developers to create differentiated browser interfaces, although further release of S60 elements is widely expected.
