Nokia takes the limelight with its Comes with Music service and 5800 XpressMusic phone

Nokia has taken the mobile world’s centerstage today with the slew of announcements it made during the Nokia Remix event which happened simultaneously in London and Singapore. An enhanced S60 mobile platform, an online music store a la iTunes and, of course, a new music phone with touchscreen features, a la, well what else, but the iPhone.

The enhanced S60 Mobile Platform

Nokia’s S60 mobile platform which runs on Symbian OS finally gets a much needed upgrade in its 5th iteration. Key features of this fifth edition S60 is none other than touch UI and support for tactile feedback. This simply means that Nokia mobile phones using the S60 OS will now have touchscreen features similar to the iPhone.

Likewise, the S60 is also bringing enhanced web browsing capabilities to the soon to be released S60 mobile phone. This is made possible through Adobe Flash Lite 3 support. More details after the break.
