Ajax in your pocket

Nokia is readying its new web browser for S60 3rd edition. It is based on the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components of Apple's Safari Web Kit. These components are themselves based on KDE's Konqueror KHTML and KJS open source projects. Application developers will benefit from the browser's modular architecture and open interfaces and content developers will have access to high volumes of compliant browsers, which make it faster and morecost-efficient to develop content that works on a range of devices.

In the meantime, Opera is starting Opera Platform. Opera Platform applications are true web applications that have access to the phone's functionality through the Opera Platform DOM interface (provided by the Application Player) and can communicate with servers using XMLHttpRequest. The Opera Platform SDK iscurrently available for Symbian OS phones with S60, and is free.

Nokia launched opensource.nokia.com, an Internet portal for its open source software projects. Nokia is currently working on several projects, such as the open source browser for S60 (see story [04]), an S60 NNTP reader and Python for S60. The projects presented in the portal enable Nokia to share mobile software knowledge and innovations with open source developers. The portalitself is built on top of Nokia's open source semantic web architecture.
