New Nokia Web Browser for S60 3rd Edition

Nov 2 2005, 10:36am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Nokia day continues on I4U News with some information on the new Nokia Web Browser, which looks pretty promising.

The new Nokia browser is aimed to provide smartphone users with a true Web experience, meaning it displays the full web page. The navigation is done by moving a viewing area around on the page. Scaled down pages are used to navigate between pages. Now if I just would have a phone with S60 3rd Edition to try it.

Nokia uses the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple's Safari Web Kit, the industry's smallest and fastest open source full Web rendering engine for mobile devices. Based on KHTML and KJS from KDE's Konqueror open source project, this software has enabled Nokia to achieve major improvements in Web site usability on smartphones, through the re-use of a proven desktop rendering engine.

Some features of the S60 3rd edition browser are original page layout display, pop-up blocking, page search, DHTML support, W3C's HTML, XHTML 1.0, DOM, CSS and SVG-Tiny standards support.
