| Nokia and Vodafone's Key Milestones in S60 Software Collaboration Nokia and Vodafone announce a significant milestone in their collaboration on the development of S60 software on Symbian OS, with the release of the first Vodafone specific software package to all S60 licensees. The S60 platform and the Vodafone specific software offer an integrated reference implementation that enables Vodafone to roll out innovative new services to customers across a range of different handsets without having to develop a range of different software designs. Samsung and Nokia are expected to be the first handset vendors to ship devices incorporating this software in 2007. The collaboration between Vodafone, S60 and selected handset vendors also covers joint marketing activities aimed at Vodafone's customers. According to Canalys research (January, 2007), S60 is the clear leader in converged device software with 54% market share globally in Q4 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
