The latest on smartphones (and other gadgets)

If you thought Symbian was dead, think again. Featuring multi-touch gesture support (pinch to zoom that kind of thing), single tap (as opposed to the current Symbian which require double tap in some places), hardware accelerated graphics, HDMI output, multiple home screens, and so on, the OS which still dominates the smartphone market in terms of units sold, is finally catching up. Read all about it at the Symbian Foundation. See below for a concept screenshot of a Symbian 3 homepage. This makeover is long overdue. The first Nokia S3 phones are expected to appear in the 2nd half of 2010. Personally I am looking forward to getting my hands on one. Have long been a fan of Nokia and Symbian.
