S60 Touch UI Introduction
Updated Video demo!

There is a pretty detailed overview of the upcoming 5th generation of the S60 platform that will brings the touch controlling to S60 devices and is supposed to be introduced somewhere during this year

Article is supported with lot of materials, photos, flash presentations and demo videos, my predications and exception, so if you didn't read it already you should give it a try, it is still very actually.

Also there is my hands-on the real device, mysterious Nokia TUBE that is supposed to be released lather this year. S60 is expanding the UI offering by touch controls with tactile feedback to create new type of devices and interfaces supported by the new UI Accelerator Toolkit that will be helpful tool in creating graphically stunning applications.

Thanks to my friend P@sco I've found yesterday an update S60 video demo that is extended with few more applications but to be completely honest with you, all of shown applications looks pretty different on the real device, not sure if it is because of the early proto version od because of the fact that whole UI is still under heavy development and far way from the final product!?!??

By the way, not sure but it looks that Nokia N81 is actually shown in some scenes in this video!?
